These crooks showed up to fix a heater in my home. I had no problem paying them their mandatory "service fee" just for coming out, which, of course, is over and above their already inflated charges. The part that has me angry is that, barely an hour after these buffoons left my place, assuring me that they had fixed the problem, the heater stopped working again. Not only was it bad enough that I had to pay for shoddy work, but these thieves demanded I pay ANOTHER "service fee" just for coming back! The same job - just an hour later!? And, of course, they "found out why" on their 2nd visit (oh? they couldn't figure it out on the first visit? Hmm.) and charged me more for the "additional work". I was shocked at the amount they were charging me for this supposed "additional work", and yet I only balked to them about their "service fee", and why it was necessary to charge me that fee again after only being here an hour before - and for the same why job, yet! Well, the nasty, sexist jerk didnt even bother giving me the courtesy of an explanation, but instead barked "Tell your husband to gimme a call." WTF? What unbelievably chauvinistic ignorance in this day and age!
It was no surprise that before the day was through, the heater these clowns supposedly fixed TWICE had already stopped working yet AGAIN. Well, this silly little woman - with no help from her husband - managed to find another plumber, who came and fixed the problem promptly and professionally, and in just one visit. read more
