Engineering Support

Hi, I contacted Generator Guru after watching a couple of their YouTube videos - which I found very helpful. I was repairing a generator with suspected winding faults. After changing the capacitor I was still having issues, I sent my readings / test results etc to Generator Guru - who quickly replied with expert advice. The answer was first class and very professional - I would not hesitate to contact this company again and their help was much appreciated.
Thank you
Phil

Thanks so much for your feedback! We are always happy to help with advice. We are aware that Generators can be a strange item to fix and really is not as simple as people think.

We feel our contribution to society and the environment is to help when we can. Great to hear it saved yet another Generator from being scrapped and that you are happy. It makes it all worth it to us!

Appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Chinese wiring ??

Hi to all out there needing advise or video tuition this was my first time using Generator Guru and to be honest didn't really expect them to answer my enquiry, but they did and very quickly indeed Joe sent me an e-mail the following day with a solution to my wiring problem. Cant thank Joe and all the team enough for their help and hopefully a good result in the fix. First rate service as of yet well done all.

I had a slightly unusual requirement, but Rob London Willis patiently, persistently and professionally and he offered an unusual solution that was completely successful. I would recommend Generator- Guru to anyone needing help in this sphere.

Very positive experience with Generator Guru

Generator Guru could give lessons in Customer Care and how to run a business. I highly recommend them. Sales Manager Jane and Administration Manager Sarah, personally walked me via email through a return that was no fault of Generator Guru. Professional, proficient, helpful, knowledgeable, prompt, and pleasant. One of the best businesses I've dealt with.

Generator Gurus know their stuff

Generator Gurus know their stuff. My request for technical help was met promptly and with sufficient details to provide the confidence on how to resolve my generator's issue. They will be my go source for information and parts. Your team is top notch.

Excellent company and staff.

Ordered a capacitor recently and as always not been disappointed, I have been using Generator Guru for a good few years now and find them highly knowledgeable and helpful and usually able to provide parts I have required.
I am certainly missing the access to their telephone help service as I find my query can be dealt with much more easily than through the website. They certainly live up to their name.

I have changed my rating to 4 star

I have changed my rating to 4 star. I finally was able to get in touch with customer service by phone. It is so much better talking to a live person the texting. I explained to Zac in customer service. I explained what was going on and the reason why I hadn't shipped back the item. That I went to a mailing store to ship the item back that was misordered. The cheapest was $181.32 to return a $48 part! Which I could not understand since FedEx charged $28 to send it to me. It was Zac who suggested that I check the postal service. Friday Jan. 7th I went to the post office and mailed it back....it cost a whole $28. Big difference. So now the pkg is on the way back to generator guru. When I receive the correct replacement part I will upgrade my review to 5 star.
I'm sure if I lived in the UK this transaction would have had a better results. Living several thousand miles away in the US kind of complicated things, but thanks to Zac and Jane etc. this issue is being resolved.

Technical assistance was excellent

Was looking for parts for a generator that had just failed on me when I found G.G.'s site. I sent a message in detailing the what I knew of the engine failure. Their technician Zak responded in just approximately three hours. He really provided some insight on how to check my engine out, but do to my schedule it has taken me some time to use what he suggested and get a diagnostic from it. I had also asked that I could get a manual and parts schematic so I could see how all of the parts fit together. I had one part particularly that I was unsure how it fit and a picture I felt sure would help. He never responded with that or provided a source. Overall, service was very good especially since it was offered free of charge. I do need to get some parts to go back together with my engine, so will be checking with G.G. again for those.

I hate to give you such a low rating…

I hate to give you such a low rating because I did receive the part that I ordered in a surprisingly quick time frame. But the part that I ordered for a friend was the wrong part. My friend made an error in the part number. I contacted generator guru. They are more than happy to replace the part providing I send pictures of the old part, the one that was sent me and pictures of all sides of the generator. The problem is I am having trouble getting the pictures requested because I live in town and the generator is out in the country. The friend has an out of date cell. He can take the pictures but he can't send them. I have tried reaching out to guru about this issue but am having no luck. Why can't they send me a return label for the old part and send me the replacement?

Diane,

Thanks for getting in touch. I have been asked to investigate and found the following facts:

Thursday 9TH Dec 2021 4:45pm
Order placed for a 1 x Recoil Starter Assembly 76851201 + Recoil Bolts

Friday 10TH Dec 2021 8:00am
Order sent by customer’s request: FedEx USA - Priority - approx. 1-2 days (Tracked Weekday Delivery. No PO Boxes. Signature Required)

Saturday 11th Dec 2021 3:10pm
Order delivered to you

Monday 13th Dec 2021 3:03pm
We have received a RMA (Return request) stating:
Return Reason: Product Does Not Fit
Return Action: Replacement

Monday 13th Dec 2021 3:33pm
We have checked the stock we have and confirmed it is the correct recoil for your Generator.

Monday 13th Dec 2021 3:55pm
As we are not sure why it does not fit your generator, we have requested photos to determine if the item was a mis-pick. This is to ensure we can quickly determine the error and rectify any issues quickly.

Thursday 16th Dec 2021
You informed us you are not near the Generator and stated you would be able to do so on the weekend.

Email received to ask if we had received photos. We responded saying we have not received any photos as yet. While looking into the matter, it became obvious from your Trustpilot review that is was not a mis-pick issue as stated on the original RMA, but instead you purchased the wrong item. We immediately sent you the information on how to return the order.

Conclusion:
1) We asked for photos as we thought from your original RMA that you had received the wrong part, and often we can quickly rectify mis-picks from a photo. This was the case, as you stated on your RMA, that the Recoil did not fit.
2) However, it only became obvious that you ordered the wrong part in your Trustpilot review. When we knew this was the case, we quickly sent you the return instructions.

Therefore, I feel we conducted our RMA investigations quickly with the information provided by yourself. Once we realised you bought the wrong item, we sent you the return information. I cannot see how we could have provided a better service when we did not have the correct information. However, if you would like to discuss this further with me, or have any suggestions on how we can improve, please respond to your Support ticket and I would be happy to converse with you.

Kind regards
