  I called **** repair and a technician came out. He came with a bag of tool to fix my refrigerator. While inside he spoke In his language to someone. He open the refrigerator door and closed it never check anything and automatically said the control board for $800 but for the $ 200 he would reset it. When I saw what he was going to do for $200 I said Ive already done that. So he stopped and changed me *****. While I would never complain before but honestly he didnt even diagnose the control Board or check to see if anything with the fan or parts that could have been malfunctioning couldve been an issue he just looked at my refrigerator and eyeballed the issue only to charge me what he thinks. I expected a professional technician to give me an honest diagnosis. I didnt see any computer fail code or any real evidence that he gave me the right diagnosis. I tried to call and speak to a supervisor. When I did (****) would only say that they are trained technician and that I can understand your frustration. But basically too bad. The money wasnt the issue the fact that they are scamming innocent customers for not thoroughly doing their promised job.I just want my ***** back I just paid a person to drive and look at my refrigerator open the door and guess the problem. **** would not even give me her last name or her corporate phone number to try and resolve the problem.

  Hi, ********. 
  
  We apologize once again for any inconvenience or negative experience you may have had. Our team always strives to provide the best service possible and we regret that we fell short in meeting your expectations. 
  
  As I have mentioned yesterday, there are some appliance inspection that don't need to have the unit disassembled or take apart. The technicians will can check on both visual assessment and software diagnostics to evaluate its condition without disassembly. By carefully examining the exterior, they can detect visible signs of wear such as burn marks, corrosion, leaks, or faulty wiringpotential indicators of deeper mechanical or electrical issues. On the other hand, modern appliances equipped with built-in diagnostic software provide valuable insights through error codes or system status updates, allowing inspectors to identify internal malfunctions without physically opening the unit. These methods ensure a thorough yet non-invasive evaluation, helping maintain efficiency and safety. 
  
  We can evaluate your refund request because you confirmed that you called other service provider to have your unit checked. You can send us their report after including the name and contact information of the company so that we can have this review and provide a resolution regarding your concern. 
  
  Sincerely, 
  ****

  On friday June the 5 my toilet became clogged I scheduled an appointment and one of their technicians came. His name is *******. He "cleared" the blockage and left. I was not home at the time but someone else was. Immediately upon leaving the toilet was still flushing very slowly. I arrived home from work later that evening and noticed this as well. I paid the fee though. On June the 6th early in the morning I called as the toilet was not flushing and water was overflowing. The company promises a 90 day guarantee so I was told this was covered as it was literally less than 24 hours later. The technician came back and proceeded to claim that he had fixed it just fine the day before and that it was fine and that this was new. He called me and I explained that this was not the case. He stood quiet and just asked what did I want to do. I explained to clear it properly this time. He did so and left. A day later I get a bill from **** claiming it was a new event eventhough it was not and I had been told there was a 90 day guarantee. For the next week until today we went back and forth them claiming they were researching the matter further until today June 12 they tell me that "looking back" the initial event was caused by "wipes" something the technician had never stated before. They then tell me oh you still owe us because we don't cover wipes. I stated he never said it wipes and first of all isnt this something you tell people prior to the service. I was told no it is not and that I still owe them. I told them their technician was lying because and never did a good job the first time just to be able to bill twice for the same service which he is not supposed to with their false advertisement of 90 day guarantees. As such I am reporting them as they are a fraudalent company as are their workers. Charging someone twice for the same service is fraudalent when you claim you have a 90 day guarantee and making up reasons also shows lack of integrity.

  Hello ****,
  Thank you for your continued cooperation.

  Our technician has informed us that he visited the property for a supposed guarantee revisit. According to his report, the issue was caused by non-flushable items being flushed down the toilet causing the drains to get clogged up again. He confirmed that he successfully unclogged the toilet during both visits.

  As the cause of the issue is due to improper use of the plumbing system, this falls outside the scope of our service guarantee.

  Unfortunately, we are unable to cover the cost under your 90-day guarantee and the charges being billed to you shall apply accordingly.

   Should you have any further questions, feel free to reach us at **************.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  This is not the truth. As stated in my complaint the first day the bathroom was not completely cleared which is why he had to come back the second day. When he left the first day the water was still not flushing clearly. It did not flush properly until the second day after he came back. This means that he didnt complete the job the correct way the first time.  As far guarantee, a clogged toilet is a clogged toilet and there was never any transparency as to what was covered by their guarantee versus what was not. That being said this is a false claim on their part. And charging me twice shows they are a scam. Their 90 day guarantee is false and false advertising as is their technician.

  Hello, ****.  We understand your concerns and would like to respectfully clarify our position.
  
  As outlined in Item No. 8 of our Terms and Conditions, the Service Guarantee does not apply in cases where improper care or misuse occurs after our technician has completed the initial service. This is why an additional charge was applied for the follow-up visit. 

  **************************
  
  The technician successfully unclogged the toilet during the initial visit after it was brought to our attentionbased on a comment from one of the workersthat wipes were being flushed down the toilet. On the second visit, the same issue recurred, and once again, the technician was able to resolve it by clearing the blockage.
  
   We acknowledge your frustration and apologize if any aspect of our coverage was not clearly communicated at the time of service. We strive to be transparent and fair in all our transactions, and your feedback helps us improve in that goal.
  
  If you have any additional questions, you're welcome to contact us at **************.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The technician did not fix the problem... one again as I stated which is why I had to then call again to get the job completed... so this running around in circles stating improper usage and all this stuff you are claiming is incorrect. It was never fixed to begin with. If you don't fix an initial problem from the beginning then it is not going to get fixed. Hence, it required him to have to come again. He documented what he did incorrectly or frankly lied about it in order to get paid twice which is what it comes down to. You in addition as a company support this as it saves you money. So no I do not accept this.

  When I scheduled the service, their website clearly stated that I would pay a $89 service fee and that the technician would provide a breakdown of the costs for repairs. It also mentioned that I would have the option to decide whether or not to proceed with the repairs after reviewing the cost breakdown. However, my experience did not align with this process.The technician arrived and began working on the dryer. I was under the impression that he was simply inspecting the appliance to identify the issue, as no breakdown or quote was provided to me. To my surprise, he completed the repairs without my consent and informed me that the job was done, requesting payment for the service.I am extremely disappointed with this service, as it was not consistent with what was outlined in the confirmation email or on your website. I expected to be provided with a clear cost breakdown and to be given the opportunity to approve any repairs beforehand, which did not happen.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 06/13/2025

  Hi *******,
  
  As confirmed with the Technician, he did explain the repair quote/ price before completing the job. We also got the checklist having your signature, meaning that you were satisfied with the service and repair has been completed.
  
  **** believes in complete transparency. We always provide upfront, clear, standardized pricing. All our technicians are highly skilled and the labor price we charge is based on our technicians' expertise & the quality workmanship we deliver. We always provide customers repair quote after our diagnosis, and we move forward with the repair only upon customers' agreement to the price. We never pressure customers into a repair they do not wish to be completed at the price quoted. We respect our customers to make the decision to repair or replace the unit, our technicians do not make that decision for our customers.
  
  Kindly let us know if you have any further concerns.
  
  
  Thank you,

  I scheduled a service technician to visit my house on May 6, 2025 to fix my washer. The technician did not fix my washer. Technician said he would need to order a part but has to change me that day over $400 to schedule the follow up appt to fix it. That $400 was to cover part and return visit to fix washer. The day off the appt, May 15. The technician did no show, there was no communication. I waited and finally was able to get in touch with **** comp to find out no one was coming, no part was there, and I'm left with a broke washer. There was no service but the company will not refund my 400 deposit to fix washer.

  Hello, *******. We appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this has caused. We understand how essential it is to have a working washer, and it is disappointing that your scheduled service did not go as planned.
  
  After reviewing the situation and discussing it with the technician, we have decided to issue a refund. We have sent an email directly to you with details on processing your refund.

  The company is charging me again despite service having a 90 day guarantee. On Thursday June 5 toilet became clogged and they were called and sent a technician I was at work so he dealt with childrens sitter and my fathers home attendant. He called me only to process payment, he processed the payment. The toilet however, was not fully fixed as when I got home from work I noticed it was flushing very slow not fully, by morning it was back to not flowing at all. I recalled company in the morning and was again told 90 day guarantee. He was resent and called me told me oh I fixed it I explained the situation he tells me well I feel I fixed it. I told him it had a guarantee he didnt really pay much attention just says do you want it fixed or not. I tell him yes. Saturday I receive an invoice for ******. This is not acceptable I called them tell them about the guarantee and that they are still billing me they tell e oh we will investigate and call you. No one calls me and this Monday I again get another invoice ******. I call them again they again ask me if he explained to me why he wanted to bill me. I tell them no he did not but your company promises a 90 day guarantee and it was literally 24 hours, this does not make any sense, again I am told they will investigate but don ********

  I called **** on Thursday, May 29 to repair my oven which was not maintaining heat. Two repairmen came to my house at 4:00pm and took a look at my oven. They said they needed to order a part, but would return on Saturday to get it fixed. The company charged me $89.00 that day. The workmen never returned and never communicated with me. I tried contacting the company via their website,(****************) but received no reply. I would like the complaint registered with the BBB and I would like my $89 back. It was the call-out fee which was supposed to be part of the repair bill.

  Our fridge was repaired by **** on 4/29/25. On 5/18/25 it stopped working. It took multiple days for a technician to come out. I then went through another company to try to fix it, because I have two small kids and cannot live without a fridge. The service guarantee from **** has delayed their work. The next guy they sent out said it was a different issue, I had a different tech solve it, the fridge still doesnt work. I am looking for a refund from the initial service - it was misdiagnosed and its negligence on their end for taking so long to try to attempt to correct it.

  Hello *******,
  
  Having that other Service Provider worked on the unit, may we have a formal copy of the Service Report coming from the other Service Provider who completed the service? Once requested document is received, then we can proceed in reviewing your request for refund.
  
  Unfortunately, we'll not be able to send out a different technician under Guarantee, as it has been voided, since another Service Provider worked on the unit, which did not fix the issue. 
  
  Looking forward to the document being requested.

  in January I called a service professional to assist with my washing machine. They charged me ******. I paid through their app. unfortunately I did not catch that I was being charged an additional ***** that very same day and I have been charged ***** four additional times for a total of ****** in charges - now that I finally realized I am being charged a subscription I was able to get ahold of the company and they advised I owe them another ***** in order to cancel - charging a person to cancel seems wrong. on top of the unethical practices these technicians used , the total I have now paid is almost as much as the washing machine service to begin with ******.

  Hello, *********. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration regarding the charges. Transparency and fairness are important to us, and we regret that your experience did not reflect that. 
  
  After carefully reviewing your case, wed like to provide clarification regarding the charges. During your washer service appointment, you were presented with two pricing options through a secure payment link: one at the standard service rate and another at a discounted rate available exclusively through enrollment in the **** Membership Plan. By selecting and paying the discounted rate, the membership was automatically activated, as outlined in the payment terms.
  
  That said, wed be happy to process a refund for your recent payment for May, amounting to $34.99, along with the chargeback fee of $57.50, for a total refund of $92.49. You will receive an email regarding this refund shortlyplease respond to it so we can finalize the resolution.
  
  We appreciate your patience and understanding, and were here to assist you further if needed.

  **** sent out a dryer repair person after quoting me 99 dollars for a repair. The repair cost was actually 267, the dryer had the same issue less than a month later. The repair person came out two more times and again, the dryer broke with the same issue less than a month after each visit.**** website guarantees their work for 90 days. The last time the dryer broke, they sent out an new technician, who could not fix the dryer because he didnt have billing authorization from ****.The **** team refuses to let me speak to the people that can authorize this billing, saying they can only be reached by email.**** doesnt readily even list a number to contact them beyond initial repairs. Instead, I had to find their contact info from ****** off consumers, a website. **** refuses to honor their advertised 90 day guarantee or refund my money.
