  The business sends out coupon codes then does not offer a place for the technician or the customer to apply them at payment. The business refused to credit back the amount for the coupon code and instead says the only way they will honor your coupon is to call them in the future for another service. Its a scam to get you to book more services with them and dishonest. I would like the coupon code applied to the service I paid for so that I am paying what I was told I would pay with the coupon (20% discount).

  The technician came to my home on 3/13/23 to inspect an issue with my refrigerators icemaker. He was very prompt and professional. He quoted me $420 for the entire repair. I agreed and he said I had to pay the $89.00 plus a deposit because they had to order a new icemaker. On 3/15/23 he came back out to do the repair. Again, he was prompt and professional. When he was done, I received the bill and with the money I had already paid ($157.88), they charged me $343 and change, which came to over $500.00. I said something to the technician and he made a call and said someone would be getting back with me in a few minutes. 40 min. later, still no call. I called them and got into an argument with the person on the phone because he said I was charged tax on the first service call when no repairs or products were used. You cant charge tax on labor only in FL unless they replace a part. Anyway, he said he would ask for a $50.00 credit, which I did get rebilled at the lower price. I still paid $30.00 more than I was quoted.

  In September 2022, I signed up with **** for an ***************** Agreement.I called **** for service to resolve a temperature problem on our Viking Double Oven. On Dec 13, **** provided a technician to troubleshoot. The Technician arrived at 6:00 PM, three hours late. He confirmed that each oven's temperature range was off by ***** degrees. He diagnosed that the temperature probes in each oven needed to be replaced.The technician made an appointment with us to replace the probes between 10:00- 12:00 on Dec 17th. He didn't show and called me two hours after the appointment time to tell us he didnt have the parts.We were traveling for Christmas, the technician told us he could replace the probes between 12:00 -2:00 on December 28th. He didn't show *********** us.I emailed **** on December 30 and complained. We agreed to have the technician come on January 4th. He arrived late again; had the parts; installed the probe in the top oven; and bungled the probe in the bottom oven. On January 13th, the technician arrived again (two hours late). He pulled the double oven from the wall and replaced the lower temperature probe from the back of the oven. He tested the ovens and determined that the probes were not the issue. He noticed a burned connector on the upper oven computer board and determined that the board was faulty. I ordered the board. It arrived on January 25th. The technician arrived 2 hours late again and installed the board on January 31st. It didn't resolve the issue.I cancelled **** February 13. They sent me a cancellation invoice for $197.70 which includes ****************** Fee Waiver for $8.69; Protection Discount for $94.16; ************** for $24.85; another ****************** Fee Waiver for $8.69; and Cancellation Fee for $25.00. The fees are not defined in the terms and conditions. I don't know what they are for, and **** refuses to explain them or tell me how they're calculated.

  Hi ******,

   

  Thank you for being patient while the Team re-evaluate the case.

   

  After further review and discussion, we can proceed with the refund for the service less the service call fee as this fee was used to connect you with a technician who traveled to your location and did a full diagnostic of your appliance. As well as a refund for the chargeback that you received in relation to your Membership.

  However, before we can proceed we would need to ask you to drop the dispute that is currently open with your card holder. At this time there is an open dispute with your card holder and we will be unable to refund you until the dispute is dropped or has shown in our favor. If the dispute is in your favor, no action by us will need to be taken as the funds will already be distributed into your account.

  You can respond to the email that we will be sending as well.

  On 1/30, a **** technician, ***************************** came to my house to repair my washer. He did not only have the company bill me for the visit, he also charged me an extra $205.00 for his own pocket. I tried to pay him via PayPal. He said the first account was old and he could not get to it. I sent it to his current one. He claimed he could not get the money out of PayPal. He said he would refund both payments if I paid him via Zelle. I paid him and he refused to refund the money. He also did not finish the repair of the washer. The company owes me $436.81 since he was in their employee and represented them when he charged me. He is just a thief and so is ****. I reported it to **** and they refused to do anything.

  Hi ******, 
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us and taking the time to share your experience with the Community.
  We sincerely apologize, but we are unable to ***** you a refund for the amount you requested. After double-checking the appointment, we discovered that only the $103.90 payment was made under ****, and we weren't able to locate the other payment since you paid it to the technician using the other mode of payment. Nonetheless, we would be happy to assist you in fixing the washer by sending a new technician for rediagnostic at no cost and if ****************** indicates that the washer requires extra repairs and you accept the price quote, you will be paying for those costs. We are also currently in contact with the technician who billed much for the washer and will provide an update as soon as we hear back from him.
  
  Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

  **** sent a technician to my house to address the issue with my dishwasher. The technician, *****, worked on the dishwasher for about 20 minutes and then claimed that I needed a replacement part that costs about $500, so we should probably just buy a new dishwasher. I asked him if he could provide that information in writing because I need to provide it to my landlord. ***** said that would be emailed to me with my receipt for the service. All fine up to this point. He then tells me that I need to pay him through Venmo because the **** app isn't working. I tried to confirm this with the app support, but couldn't find any help. I said that I was supposed to get a secure link to pay, but he insisted that the app was down and I had to pay him by ***** and he refused to leave my house until I paid him through Venmo. It was later in the evening and I was home alone with this stranger and I truly felt I had no other option than to pay him. The following day I contacted **** and they said they couldn't help me because I paid through Venmo, but I honestly felt unsafe! They should be responsible for sending this man to my house! At this point, I don't mind having paid the fee if I can get a receipt from them and the information on the issue so I can give it to my landlord. But at this point, I can't get reimbursed and I can't get my dishwasher replaced/fixed because ***** is not completing my service request in the **** system and **** refuses to take any responsibility to fix this issue. This cannot be legal and it most certainly is not acceptable behavior for a business.

  We've tried reaching out via phone call to discuss the issue and provide resolution however, we're unable to get in touch with someone.
  After the inspection he found a problem with the circulation pump in where there are some plastic parts that where crushed inside the pump. The technician recommended to replace the circulation pump apparently this part is currently out of stock and not available.
  
  We've sent an email as well containing the invoice and report from the technician and please don't hesitate to respond to the email if there were any other concerns that you would like to address.

  I requested a technician come over to fix my microwave. I told him, I changed the fuse and a microswitch. I showed him the microswitch that I took out. He took my microwave apart and started to troubleshooting. He first change the blown fuse but later said he thought it was the diode. He stated he was unsure how to check the diode. I went to ******* and showed him, how to check it. When he changed the diode and fuse, he connected it and the fuse immediately blew. He then said it was the circuit board that the fuse was connected to. He said my microswitch was good after checking it. I informed him that the ******* video stated that if the fuse wasn't the problem, it would be the microswitches. He then tried to change the microswitch I replaced but he changed the wrong one. I told him and he stated, I was trying to tell him how to do his job. He then proceed to to change it and was confused how to reattach it. He got frustrated and put the microwave back together and probably damage it more. I called the company several times to try and get someone to follow up on their technician and they said, he said I cancelled the job. This company actually don't care if you log a complaint against them. They contract incompetent technicians and fail to take responsibility for their ineptitude. Failure on customer service part in not resolving the problem, and failure on the part of the company for not vetting their technicians. I am disappointed and probably will have to pay more to fix any additional problems with my microwave.

  I am rejecting this response because: I spoke to another agent on yesterday in response to my complaint. All they seem to want to do is push the blame to the customer. I informed the technician prior to him working on my appliance that I changed the fuse and a microswitch. He could at that time inform the company and request I sign a waiver to relieve them of liability. He did not call the company and started working on my microwave. He was a technician that was incompetent and not fully qualified to work on the appliance. He tried to replace a switch I told that was the original one and I am not sure he replaced it correctly or damage my microwave even further. This was poor craftsmanship. I am still disappointed in the response and company.

  This has been received and reviewed already. 
  
  After carefully reviewing the details of your appointment and further discussion with the team, we apologize if we are unable to honor your refund request.
  
  We've reviewed the report you've sent from *********** Services, it indicates that the compressor that was installed is correct. This is the part that ************** installed and is the problem during the time that we serviced your appliance.
  
  The report does not indicate misdiagnostics from our end and only states that the evaporator and condenser needs to be replaced however, part is no longer available. Those part and repair needed is for a different repair and issue which does not correlates to the problem that was reported on our end.
  
  We've followed up with you last October 27, same day that you've reached out to us and filed a guarantee claim. We weren't able to receive any updates afterwards and last outreach was on January 24 which is already past our 90-day guarantee coverage.

   Hi  ***** ,
  
  The report you sent us  from *********** Services indicates that the evaporator and condenser need to be replaced However,  that the part is no longer available. It does not state that the compressor doesn't need to be changed or replaced rather, it only states that the technician checked the compressor and found it to be in good working order thus the making the charges valid. The part and repair that are required are for a distinct issue that have nothing to do with the initial service that was reported on our end.

  
  Our team was able to be followed up to you last October 27 as the technician confirm, as the unit is working fine however, we don't receive any response form you until January 24. Once again, as stated on the previous email sent, report does not show that compressor that doesn't need necessary replacement.

  When I called you in January and was still in the warranty time frame from the dates from payments at my bank account when you got paid, you said it was out of warranty when it wasnt. Yes it is now, but your service technician took out the Freon which made the complete refrigerator not work. But as it turns out we didnt need a new compressor but the parts it did need are no longer made by the manufacturer so your technician should have known this and just said it could not be fixed, instead of putting in a new compressor that it did not need since the rest of the refrigerator was working properly just the lower freezer was not working!!

  I cant even begin to say how horrible my experience was. The technicians clearly did not know what they were doing nor were they prepared for the job. We paid $700 for two tv mounting services plus in wall cord installation. The kicker is that the cords were left outside of the wall except the cable cord was placed in the wall. They cut unnecessary holes in our wall and tried to cover it up with our dresser and entertainment center. I literally cried for hours after they left because we spent hard earned money to baby proof our home for our 9 month old son, and the job is worse now than before they came. Im so upset. I contacted them via email and phone numerous times and all they can say is theyll get back to me and they cannot issue a refund. If I am able to post pictures here I will but its jaw dropping truly. I have videos that show the scenario much better.

  Complaint: 18945145
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I have one of the technicians here to fix the service that was done horribly wrong. He states that the job is not fixable and he would need to remove everything, because the tv mounts were installed incorrectly, the wall outlets were installed incorrectly and visible when they shouldve been hidden. The wires were not correctly routed as well. He stated that he has never seen such a messed up job and cannot fix it alone. He also stated the company was charging me to fix the issue when it was supposedly covered with a 90 day guarantee. This company needs to be investigated, if this happened to me imagine how many other people have probably went through the same issue.

  On December 11th we had a technician come out to the residence to repair our Dryer. during the initial appointment he stated that the Belt was the issue of our dryer not working and charged $351.79 to do the repair. After several delays, he returned on Dec 20th to repair the unit. After working for a total of 2 days, the unit started having the same issues on top of being very loud when it started. We set up a follow-up appointment for the same technician to come out and fix the issue. On Dec 24th a completely different technician, under the name of the original technician, came out and stated that the belt wasnt the problem at all. He stated our drum seal was the main issue and that while he could fix the original problem, our dryer would just always be loud. After coming back from the Holiday break on Jan 3rd, we used the driver a total of 3 times before a loud snap shut the dryer off completely. We called **** again and set up a completely new technician to come out to the residence to fix the unit. On January 15th this new technician diagnosed a 3rd completely different issue with the dryer. He stated the Drum Wheel was the true reason the dryer was making such a loud noise and smelled of burning on the inside. It would be a another $350 charge to repair the actual problem with the dryer. I have been in contact with **** since January 13th trying to understand:1. Why a Technician was coming to the home under the name of another person 2. Why I'm being charged for another repair when 3 different technicians have come out and diagnosed the issue as coming from 3 different areas of the dryer I've been told multiple times that it would take ***** hours to get an update from the "Guarantee Team" when in reality it has been nearly 96 hours and I still don't have an answer. Multiple times I've called and been hung up on.At this point I want a refund back because I've been without a dryer for 38 days.

  I have a smart washer, its a newer GE smart washer from ********** dispatched a guy that replaced a pump, then he disappeared after he said he needed another part that was backordered. One full month went by and I contacted the company, they sent another guy. He replaced a pump that still wouldn't work but he thought it was the wrong pump so he orders another one. He came back to my house at least 6 times. It was never fixed then the guy stopped communicating and the company nor anyone has contacted me. I hired another company that came out and discovered the previous guy had damaged the mother board as well as installed the wrong pump. He even went as far as to use a zip tie instead of a hose clamp on one part. I've spent $650 with the second company after wasting over 3 months with ****! Not to mention their inexperienced technician cost me more money than I should have spent. Still zero contact from the company.
