The Saratoga Spa Trouble Shooting Guide is a tool designed to help the Dealer effectively diagnose a spa problem over the phone. The guide is characterized in separate sections to help the Dealer distinguish the problem through a series of questions. Proper phone screening of service calls will increase the Dealers profitability, improve customer service and eliminate call-backs. The guide was created to assist service and store personnel to effectively diagnose spa problems over the phone, your first line of communication with a potentially unsatisfied customer. The guide will help the Dealer to narrow down the problem, possibly eliminate the service call, gather information needed for a warranty claim and appropriately prepare for a service call if needed.
