A Frustrating, Overpriced, and Uncomfortable Experience I've…read morehad a deeply frustrating experience trying to get three split-system ACs serviced. Despite being clear about my requirements during booking, the process was a total mess from start to finish. Day 1: I moved heavy furniture to provide clear access. The technician provided quotes but claimed he "didn't have time" to do the work. I was charged nearly $300 just for the quotes. Day 2: Moved all the furniture again. The second technician arrived but wasn't qualified to perform the quoted work. While he was honest about his limitations and tried to fix the scheduling error with the office, I was now two days down and hundreds of dollars out of pocket for no results. Day 3: For the third attempt, I scaled back and requested only one AC be serviced. The technician arrived and immediately made me feel awkward by pointing out my previous 1-star review. He remarked, "Let's see what we can do about a 5-star review," yet proceeded to do only the bare minimum--nothing to actually address the prior service failures. The Breaking Point: After the third visit, I was invoiced for all three ACs despite only one being serviced. I had to call the office to dispute the charges for work that was never performed. The Verdict: By the time I received the "correct" invoice, the total cost (including the initial Day 1 charge) amounted to the price of a decent quality new air conditioner--all just for a basic service and clean. Between the scheduling incompetence, the awkward confrontation regarding my review, and the billing "errors," I cannot recommend this service.

My wife and I noticed a puddle of water around the base of our hot water heater on the weekend. I…read morerang a friend of ours who is fairly handy and recommended we call a plumber (we were way out of our depth to do a diy job). We got a few plumbers out to quote and we were up for $2000-3000 to replace the heater... We got on to jetset plumbing who advised us that it was only a leaking valve! And that the heater wasn't old enough to need replacing. Couldn't believe our luck, we are very grateful to jetset for saving us at least $2000!

Avoid Brisbane Man with a Van at all costs. I booked them to move some goods for my mother who…read morelives in Brisbane on Saturday 16th June but he never showed. 30 minutes after he was due to pickup he rang her to say his van had broken down on the way to the job and he was awaiting RACQ and would let her know. Everyone understands these types of things happen (that's life) and that's fine, but for the rest of the day she didn't hear anything back and nor did he show for the booked job. To make matters worse our phone calls to Brisbane Man With a Van's mobile weren't answered and we received no call back at anytime. SMS's were also ignored. Moving can be a very stressful time for anyone and all I would have asked for is that they notified us that they would not be coming. Not only as a courtesy but because that's how any professional business should be run. Ignoring phone calls is extremely amateur. He seems to have done the same to many other customers. Many have left messages on the Brisbane Man with a Van Facebook page but they get deleted shortly after being posted (including mine).
