Toldos Costa Blanca

Our experience with Toldos Costa Blanca

We thought we had left this mentality behind when we moved from Ireland. But we were wrong. Lloyde came to give us a quote, a nice guy with perfect English, but I can only assume the Porsche in the drive and the House we live in drove the price up.

He sent us a quote for €12090, including IVA and installation, I felt the quote was very high, as I expected something around €6000 for what we had installed, so we sought a second quote from another Toldos company. Interestingly, both companies use the same fabric catalogue. Their quote was €5800, IVA inclusive.

Lloyd called me a few days later and asked if we could proceed, I explained what had happened and he appeared to became angry and hostile on the telephone, to the point I told him I was about to hang up.

I cannot recommend any company that quotes for work that is over double the price of another company.

When you get caught over quoting – be graceful and walk away.
