Poor Worksmanship - Twice

<p>My Home Theatre went down, wouldn't read DVD's, on 13 Sep. 2016. It was returned to HiFi Corp. on the 14th and sent to MasterCare for repair. MasterCare were quick to assess the unit and a they returned it to the store within 4-days. i collected the unit the following day only to find that it had exactly the same problem. A call to MasterCare and HiFi Corp. and MasterCare collected the unit from my home. This time the unit was away for 2-weeks and I got an SMS from MasterCare to say that parts had been ordered. Another 2-weeks and I was sent an SMS to say the parts had been received, the unit was returned to me 2-days later. Imagine my dissapointment when the unit still had the exact same problem!!!? Consumers beware...</p>

I must say, Mastercare have been outstanding in their support and attention in attempting to get this unit repaired, however, the fact is that the unit should have been properly assessed and repaired first time, HiFi Corp. should have been informed that the unit could not be repaired, so that they could in turn honour their warranty.

The unit has now been sent directly to LG for attention as it seems to have a problem that is not easily remedied and I have been without it for over a month now.

A thumbs up for Nichelle (Mastercare Support), who has phoned me almost daily with progress updates.

Just when one starts to appreciate the effort of Mastercare Customer support, they let you down again. Despite the efforts of Nichelle and the promise that the unit has been repaired and will be returned on Saturday, this did not happen. Not even a call to say they couldn't make it! Understand the unit has been in for repair 3-times and I have been waiting for over 2-months now. This is, quite simply, pathetic to say the least.
