IS APEX REALLY WORTH 5 Stars?
I reached out to APEX based on their impressive 5-star reviews, hoping to become a satisfied customer and leave a glowing review myself. However, my experience didn't live up to my expectations.
Here's what happened: I had an issue with my Whirlpool Gas Range, where the flames were unusually high and some of the starters weren't functioning correctly. Although the stove was technically working, it wasn't operating properly.
The technician arrived for the appointment surprisingly early, precisely one hour and five minutes ahead of schedule, and immediately began working on the appliance.
He suggested the appliance had a sediment buildup, grease and that orifice was clogged and leaving the unit running would fix the issue.
Despite the technician inspecting the stove and following his recommendations of running all the burners on my Whirlpool range for over five minutes to eliminate any sediment or grease buildup, the initial problems persisted. In an attempt to resolve the issue, I even extended the duration to one hour and 20 minutes. Unfortunately, upon testing the appliance, I noticed that the two front burners still produced uncontrollable, orange flames, and the igniters remained non-functional.
In essence, the technician failed to fix the issues with my gas stove. He provided a supposed quick fix that didn't work, and it seemed like he was in a rush to leave. After the technician departed, I sent him a text message informing him that the problem hadn't been resolved. Surprisingly, he claimed that the dispatch or front office had informed him that the burners on my stove were broken, and since they ignited, he no longer had any responsibility for my stove. It appears that the blame lies with the dispatchers for providing the technician with incorrect instructions.
I was charged for the technician's visit, which I anticipated, and he also ordered a replacement knob for me, which I needed and the price was reasonable.
Considering my experience, I am unlikely to hire APEX for another job in the future. Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend APEX to my friends or neighbors based on this particular experience.
Additionally, I would like to mention that throughout the entire interaction, the technician's demeanor seemed dismissive and uninterested in resolving the issue satisfactorily. It was evident that he lacked the necessary expertise and professionalism to handle the job effectively.
The fact that the technician placed the blame on the dispatchers only further highlighted the lack of accountability and coordination within APEX. It is disappointing to see such a lack of ownership and responsibility for their own mistakes.
Overall, my experience with APEX was highly unsatisfactory. The technician's inability to fix the problems with my gas stove, coupled with their dismissive attitude and the apparent disorganization within the company, has left me with a negative impression. I will be exploring alternative options for any future appliance-related needs and advising others to do the same.
HOW I FIXED THE ISSUE:
Next day I contacted Roman's Appliance repair
As soon as he showed up he looked at the Unit and solved the issue right away. Fixed it with no excuses. read more
