The Beaverton, Bend and Clackamas showrooms were again awarded the coveted Spasearch 2011 Certified^™ Retail Store award – the only independent retail endorsement in the hot tub industry. This is the second year in a row these showrooms have received this honor!

The first question you should ask yourself before buying or servicing your next swimming pool, hot tub or swim spa is, “Is this business certified?”

But what exactly does “certified” mean, and why should you care?

CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Every business is going to tell you they have the best products, service and hundreds of happy customers. But rarely could these claims be substantiated, until now. Buying from a Spasearch CertifiedTM company means you have selected an elite local dealership, based on independent, audited criteria related to sales, service, operations and customer satisfaction.

And don’t be fooled by aggressive salespeople who claim that “certified” businesses win automatically just by paying the application fee. On the contrary, every application is reviewed for strict compliance so you can be sure the local business you are buying from won based on merit. That’s the promise to you backed by the reputation of Bigfish Publications, the organization who awards this certification.

While their is never truly a “sure thing” when hiring a contractor or tradesman, Bigfish and the Spasearch team work diligently to do much of the leg work on your behalf. Historically they have found a strong correlation between superior customer satsfaction and businesses that follow a proven set of best practices guidelines as identified below.
