  Very bad at fixing elevators. Ever since they changed from ThyssenKrupp to TK Elevator every and I mean EVERY elevator that is not a ThyssenKrupp or TK elevator has seen a significant decline. A few examples would be, Holiday Inn in downtown, Canad Inns Transcona, the Forks, Tuxedo Park Shopping Center, and ANY building that has a Dover DMC controllor. It is clear that TK elevator is to blame because all these because all these elevators worked WAY better back when they were ThyssenKrupp elevator, and then all the sudden, they get bought and change to TK elevator and all of them suddenly start having plenty of issues. I know that TK has the contract at all the listed locations. Their solution is never to properly fix and elevator, but to neglect it so bad to eventually modernize it. This is a huge waist of time, money and resorses for everyone but they enjoy it because they're making the big bucks for it. This is not even the worst though, my grandparents live in a 4 storey condo building with only one elevator. The elevator is a ThyssenKrupp and is under 10 years old. This elevator has worked fine for the whole time they have lived there untill all the sudden the door operator broke and well TK comes and fixes it. What do you know less then a week later it's broken again. This patter has continued on for MONTHS and it is a HUGE problem because: 1. The elevator is less than 10 years old and should be easily fixed by a big elevator company. 2. There is only one elevator in the building and there are sinors who live there that rely on it to come and go from their homes. All in all TK is a very bad company and they clearly only care about making money from service calls and modernizations. Honestly all the big elevator companys are like this, but this one is just clearly extra bad.

  They've been working in my senior's apartment block for days. Elevators are worse than before! Elevators go up and down without the doors opening, do not stop on the floor you request, go down from 10th floor to the first floor and then up to the 11th floor without doors opening. Staff are rude! 4 or 5 of them crowded into the elevator with a senior and rode up to 10 without even a tiny attempt at distancing. None were wearing masks in a building full of people with health issues.

  Every encounter with these guys is getting worse and worse. Much worse since they took over Winnipeg Elevator. I predict they are going to lose lots of business. I believe they have the contract for 7 elevators with us. The first bad experience I had was in the spring. We had an elevator down. A board was fried. They blamed lack of cooling in the elevator room. It was 29C but I've been in much warmer elevator rooms and those lifts had no problems. The enclosure their boards were in were metal with vents that had knock outs for cooling fans but none were installed. It took a week to get fixed. The board was installed, elevator was tested. the elevator couldn't be called afterward. Took 3 weeks to get that straightened out. Now I'm in a different building. The elevator was out when we moved in. This was a Winnipeg elevator contract which they took over. They came in, replaced some wiring and said the battery pack needed replacement. I found this strange as Winnipeg Elevator replaced that pack on their last inspection just before the pandemic hit. Took them 2 days to come back and instal new ones. Then, surprise surprise they found the rectifier on the charging board was fried. So they probably changed a perfectly good battery pack. Today marks three weeks since I heard from them. I have called about the part. no response. They have till Friday to fix this or I'm going to start pushing for all our service contracts to go to tender. I looked after buildings for years. I've never seen this kind of delay unless a lift motor fries.
