Disgusting! Withdrew money from us for something that we did not hire

published

Kennards illegally withdrew money from our account when we did not hire anything! We sent an email three times to the accounts receivable part of the company due to them incorrectly charging us, not once was it responded to! They proceeded to charge us for products hire in a DIFFERENT STATE to where we operate as a small family business. Still waiting to hear back on our refund - will be seeking legal action very soon. We will be shopping elsewhere.

first class service

The service provided by the young men at Kennards Bayswater Vic is wonderful. They are polite, pleasant and do all they can to assist. I wasn't sure if the ladder would fit on my small car; the man measured the car for me. On the day the ladder was placed on the car for me and tied down with a ratchet tie they supplied. The man showed me how to use the ratchet. On return, the same pleasant helpful service.

Lied about hire pricing

published

Went to Kennards Mt Barker. Asked for a quote for a 4 hour hire of a demolition saw from Michael. Quoted $42 for 4 hours. Came back 4 days later and spoke to Marcus and asked for a quote again. Once again quoted $42 for 4 hours. Hired it, brought back in 1 hour. Invoice sent by email and found to be $142. Spoke to Kennards, told it was always $142 and because verbal quotes don't count, bad luck.

Lack of communication/information

published

Hiring a scrubber machine online was easy but picture of machine was very grainy and not as big as it looked in the picture, they offered no solution, they eventfully agreed to extra 2 hours hire for free Because the machine was half the size it appeared to be in the picture, then slugged my card for $38 more than the agreed hire rate. they also wanted $50 each way delivery for a 2km away site. the machine fitted in the back of my car thankfully. wont be using beenleigh branch again.

Misleading

published

I ordered a carpet cleaning machine online and when we picked it up it was a different one to what was shown online. They said it was because they didn't have it at their outlet. We wanted the one shown online because it allows us to get into corners and especially around and under furniture. The one given did not have a wand and could not be used under furniture. Kennards refused to give us a full refund (they charged us a cancellation fee) when clearly they did not provide exactly as we ordered, and also failed to inform us they did not have it available at their outlet and simply replaced it with a different machine.

Excellent professional service particularly Jim. Very helpful both in person and on the phone. Equipment needed to be delivered which occurred as agreed.
We have hired equipment from them several times and will go back again.

Worst product and service EVER

published

Hired shower... driver said I just found these pipes, no sure how good they are.. they burst. Put the shower under my pergola (where I wanted it) but I asked where does water drain to and he told me the grass... well there was nothing from the drain to the grass.. called to move.. apparently it was my misunderstanding..Second visit, told he fixed them but burst again burst again. This time in laundry. Water everywhere in my newly sheeted laundry..rang head office, they were amazing. However Fyshwick store had closed and still have no shower...been cleaning up water all afternoon.. I wonder if they are going to re sheet my laundry now.. can not believe the drama..

A very happy customer Kennards Hornsby hire

published

I hire equipment on a regular basis from Kennards, I am always very happy with there professional approach, particularly with customer service. A delivery of a rotary hoe for us to use was delivered on time but also the use of the machine was explained patiently by Chris who delivered it for us. 10/10 for friendly and helpful staff.

Hired a double portaloo on a trailer for the week and the service from the Kennards in Thomastown VIC was just AMAZING. Very professional and prompt service. I would recommend this place to anybody.

The worst multiple experiences ever

published

So been asked to state accurate facts
This won’t be hard
Customer service is horrible
Don’t return calls staff are rude and think they know everything when clearly they know very little or nothing at all
When trying to debate there wrong doing they still think there right
Hire an attachment for an excavator when I asked to show how it worked not 1 person in the yard had a clue
Would never go back or ever recommend
No wonder your rating is crap

no satisfaction

It all seems to hard for staff at Penrith store! we are a decent sized customer and repeatedly find this store to be the least helpful! i asked in the morning on price and availability, i had to ring in the afternoon (as i had heard no more)to be told it (the item) was in Canberra, long story short... bit more to it, but took my business elsewhere and may continue to do so.

Overall good

I found that the prices can vary between branches and the quality of customer service can too, what I mean by this is different charges etc. for even though your taking out the same bit of kit

Great kit but boy, what a rip off!

published

Hired a heavy duty demolition hammer, full day charge was 174 on the web site. Paid for the day and brought it back was charged for half a day..............145!! Oh and the 14 set up charge!! What a rip off. Great kit but misleading on the web site, where does it state 14 for a set up/hire fee? Save yourself some cash, go to Bunnings and buy it. You might use it only once but if you do can sell it on and still have saved money from using this lot. Disappointing.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your query.

Unfortunately, we do not do one-way vehicle and trailer hire between cities or interstate, all trailers/vehicles need to be returned to the original branch. We do have weekly and long-term rates on vehicles and trailers for those longer trips if you are planning to return to your hiring branch or area.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Dale

Daleasked

What is your policy on delivery drivers hitting peoples cars ( there are several witnesses and the driver admitted it when I managed to talk to him 3 hours later) and driving off without leaving any details ?
How do I go about having my car repaired when the management and driver at your Fyshwick store have constantly lied, stalled and ignored me and my request for your insurance details?
