Requested service for my pool motor. Alex and his assistant were prompt to arrive the next day. The motor was replaced. The price was reasonable. I will continue to use their services in the future.

I called Pinch A Penny Winter Springs today to inquire about a replacement pump, salt cell, and electric heat pump for my 35k gallon pool. While discussing the products, it became clear that I had a bit more insight into some of the equipment than the representative I spoke with. However, I appreciated that he emphasized the importance of having someone come out to assess my specific pool needs before finalizing any recommendations. After providing the specific items I was interested in, I was given an estimated cost of $13,000 for the equipment (before labor and installation fees). I decided to move forward with scheduling a consultation, but as we were wrapping up the call, I was informed that this would be considered a service call with a $125 fee, which could later be applied toward the purchase. If a consultation is necessary to ensure the correct equipment is selected, I believe it should be complimentary, especially when considering a potential $15,000+ purchase. Unfortunately, this policy has led us to reconsider our decision to become Pinch A Penny customers.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you in finding the right equipment for your pool and value the time you took to discuss your needs with our team. Our goal is always to provide accurate recommendations tailored to each pool’s specific requirements, which is why we recommend an on-site consultation before finalizing any major equipment purchases. Due to high demand and the volume of quote requests we receive, it has become necessary to implement a service call fee to ensure that our technicians can prioritize scheduled, paying jobs while still providing thorough assessments for those interested in new equipment. However, we do apply the $125 fee toward your purchase should you decide to move forward with us. We understand your perspective and regret that this policy has impacted your decision. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we’re always open to feedback that helps us improve. If there’s anything we can do to further assist or address your concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future!

I do not recommend getting pool service from this location. I had an appointment scheduled for after 12pm. I called twice in the later afternoon to inquire the status of my appointment. The second time I called I asked that if the tech couldn't make it to please let me know so I could stop waiting. I was trapped because they charge a $125 service call fee and I needed to be here. Both times the staff was indifferent and I was told the technician was running late with no ETA. I waited until after 6 pm (their closing time) and still no one showed nor did anyone call.

Hunter is the technician that comes to the house. We’ve been really happy with his work - he always does a very good job, he’s timely, it’s no fuss or bother, and it’s always ready to swim in. Could not be happier or more pleased.

If there’s a pool repair, equipment or parts that need installation or replacement, Alex can do it all! I highly recommend Alex and Pinch-a-Penny Winter Springs for all your pool maintenance needs. Our pool is 24 years old and the water is crystal clear. Even our golden girl, Bella, agrees. Thanks, Alex!

Working with Pinch A Penny was super easy. They came while my wife and I were at work, which was very convenient. Our pool was so sluggish, and they got things up and running so smoothly and for less than we feared it would be! Can't beat that! Our pool is now running very efficiently. Thank you Pinch A Penny!

Highly recommend you stay away from these guys. Over charge you and give you horrible service and then the manager Josh gives you even worse customer service. Do yourself a favor and go with the next pool service company. Put a Ring camera out by your pool and see what you are paying for.....

Both my husband and I were extremely happy to see there is new management at the Winter Springs store. The attitude difference is amazing. We had such bad experiences with the old management that we decided to only use pinch a penny to buy chlorine and nothing more. We had them service our filter system and when they were done it was leaking in places that were not leaking before they started. When I went back in to talk to the manager, Robert, about all the new leaks when we had NO leaks before and all the DE powder that was now all over my pool deck he said LADY YOU HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THAN THAT OUT THERE! He did send the guy back out but nothing was fixed and my husband ended up fixing all the new leaks. I asked the guy that came out what issues Robert was talking about and he said oh nothing he's just confused. We are considering talking to the new manager about coming back out. I hope anybody that stopped going to this store because of the attitudes of the old manager gives it another try. It really does seem to be a different environment now.

I drove from Sanford to get here I came to get my maytronics dolphin serviced. I spoke to Lucas over the phone and he was very helpful. I was assisted by Neil and Lucas in the store and I can't say anything bad about my experience. I'm actually really happy and even though this is about 25 minutes from me, I would definitely recommend this location, five stars all around!!!
