DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING!!
On 9/6/2023, I contacted All American Appliance because I needed an over-the-stove microwave installed. The gentleman, Alex, came and installed the microwave, which seemed to work appropriately. However, on the same day as he installed it, it became apparent that the microwave was obviously not installed correctly. I called another company who came out and stated the microwave had not been installed correctly at all.
The new company was very detailed and demonstrated how the gentleman from All American Appliance placed the microwave incorrectly. The main issue was the microwave was installed in a manner that did not allow for proper ventilation which could very well cause a fire.
I called All American Appliance to inform them of the mistake made on the company's behalf. I then requested a refund. The gentleman I spoke with reported that he was the owner and the person who made the call to my home was his son. He went on to say they were a small family-owned company. He admitted his son, Alex, was not very experienced. He never denied the mistake had been made. The owner became irate and raised his voice. He was very upset that I did not call his company with the complaint prior to hiring another company to correct their mistake.
I let the owner of All American Appliance know that I did not contact them prior to employing another company to come out because I no longer trusted his company to do the job right. He did not accept my response and stated he was unwilling to provide a refund for the work because I did not allow him to correct the problem. I let him know there was no obligation on my part to allow him to correct an issue his employee/son caused. The owner stood fast in his refusal to refund the money which represents fraud due to the fact that he knowingly sent someone to my home without the appropriate experience and abilities to complete a job correctly.
Reliance is an element of fraud. To prevail on a fraud claim, a plaintiff (me) must show actual and justifiable reliance. That is, in order to establish this element, the plaintiff (me) must show that it actually relied on the defendant's (All American Appliance) representation and, also, that such reliance was justifiable.
The fact that All American Appliance sent the gentleman out to effectively install the microwave is certainly justifiable reliance.
The bottom line is, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING!! For you could surely live to regret it.
PS. As a side note, I felt very intimidated by the gentleman, Alex, who came out. When I questioned the price he was charging he made me feel as if I would regret it if I didn't hand over the money. It was a bit of a scary moment and I just wanted him out of my home. read more
