Replying to Mr. E response to my review. I called customer service to confirm exactly what the…read more"FREE QUOTE" included and was told the electrician would go up on a ladder to inspect the ceiling fan and electrical components and provide a written repair quote. Once the electrician gained entry to my home, no inspection was performed, and the visit was instead converted into an attempted upsell to a paid diagnostic. This conduct reflects a classic bait-and-switch. The "FREE QUOTE" was used to induce the appointment. This conduct implicates multiple consumer-protection violations as outlined below, including heightened concerns where deceptive in-home solicitations affect senior customers: - Bait-and-switch -- promising a "FREE QUOTE" to induce an appointment, then substituting a paid diagnostic once access to the home was obtained, in violation of 815 ILCS 505/2B and FTC Act §5 (15 U.S.C. §45). - Deceptive and unfair business practices -- materially misrepresenting what the "FREE QUOTE" included and failing to provide the promised inspection and written estimate, in violation of 815 ILCS 505/2 and FTC Act §5. - Material misrepresentation -- the scope of the "FREE QUOTE" was a material term that influenced the decision to schedule the appointment and allow entry into the home, actionable under 815 ILCS 505/2. - Deceptive inducement and reliance-based harm -- the misrepresentation caused reliance before any payment occurred, which constitutes legally cognizable harm under 815 ILCS 505/2 and federal unfair-and-deceptive-acts standards. In-home solicitation violations -- deceptive conduct occurring inside a consumer's residence, which is subject to heightened scrutiny under FTC Act §5 and Illinois consumer-protection enforcement standards. - Senior consumer protections -- misleading in-home solicitations and high-pressure upselling affecting a senior consumer trigger enhanced enforcement priority under Illinois Consumer Fraud Act (815 ILCS 505/2) and federal consumer-protection policy concerning older adults.

Five Stars for Oakwood Electric & Generator:…read more I had a serious electrical issue where the source of the problem was complex. I knew I needed the "A" team.. I am extremely grateful to Arvy at Oakwood Electric & Generator as he got right to carefully and methodically sourcing the problem and that wasn't easy because although my interior electric had an unknown cause of a dead short from over 15 outlets, Arvy found the source of the problem on the exterior switch on the porch that had burned. (Clearly very serious!) He also checked many other outlets and made sure I was going to be ok after the repair. Clearly Arvy and Oakwood Electric are the "A" team and I am very grateful to the smart efficient work but also for caring for my safety. I highly recommend Arvy and the team at Oakwood Electric & Generator in Westmont . Thank you!

After reading all the reviews about Oakwood, I decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did. They first came out and provided us an estimate of the costs - which was good b/c then I knew which ones I would book immediately vs wait on. I then was able to schedule them to come out a week or two later for the work. I had quite the laundry list of items and they were here about 8 hours (1 to 2 people). At the end of the day, it was a costly day, but to be honest - not as bad as I expected - given how much I had them do. They provided me a source of comfort knowing that my electrical needs were being taken care of in a professional and safe manner. I thought the workers were really nice and did a great job. I would recommend Oakwood to anyone and I would use them again.

Reliable Auto Repair

I brought my wife's 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit in for new brakes and rotors. A few weeks…read morelater, my wife noticed the brakes were making a squealing noise during turns so I brought the vehicle back to have it inspected. I was charged $100 just for them to look into the issue. What was most concerning was learning that when the brakes and rotors were replaced a few weeks earlier, the shop chose to install lower-quality aftermarket parts rather than OEM parts. The original components on the vehicle were OEM, but instead of giving us the option to choose, the service advisor of Indian descent told me they used cheaper parts because OEM parts were "too expensive" and would make them less competitive. That decision was made without our knowledge or approval. When it comes to critical safety components like brakes, customers should always be given the option and informed about the quality of parts being installed. Choosing lower-quality parts to save money--without discussing it with the customer--raises serious concerns about quality, safety, and reliability. At the very least, we should have been given the option to replace the parts with OEM components or informed beforehand about what was being installed. Instead of rectifying their original mistake they shifted focus to other parts (pins) that still didn't address the issue at hand. Hence, I would not recommend if you're looking for honesty, quality, safety, and RELIABILITY.

Kevin can not be trusted for one word that comes out of his mouth. My landscaper dropped of my riding mower to Kevin the first week of May. After 3 weeks Kevin told me he didn't realize the mower was at his shop. Ok. After several calls to Kevin, both from me and my landscaper, promises and truly he used the word "guarantee" he would get me my mower back on several dates that came and went. I just got my mower back yesterday. Guess what, as far as I can tell I am missing my battery and the positive terminal is broken. I need to give it a better look, but for now I can see that my mower is worse off than it was after nearly 3 MONTHS. I have no idea how this guy is in business. Also noticed they moved from Lombard to Batavia, not sure why. I would highly recommend you steer clear of this business at all costs. read more

After just a few weeks of use, the drive belt came off and I spent a couple of sweat-dripping hours under the machine. I couldn't spend any more time because I needed the mower done/lawn mowed before my roofers came the next day. I called them at 11am, they came to get my mower, fixed it, explained to me how to (next time) fix it myself, and returned my mower by 2pm. All for less than $100! I had called other places that wanted $130-160 just to show up at my house, plus their "analysis" fee and then the cost for parts/labor. These guys were super friendly, patient, knowledgeable, speedy and efficient. Regarding the "bad reviews" here...one, you're simply never going to please everyone, and that is OK. It's fair and helpful for someone to review that they found a cheaper price or quicker service somewhere else this time. But two, it's important to recognize that the tone and clarity of a review often reflect the reviewer's intent. Reviews that are emotionally charged, poorly written, or lacking constructive detail tend to offer limited value to others. Such reviews reveal more about the reviewer's personality than about the actual quality of the product or service. Keep doing what you're doing, Wasco Lawn & Power!
