We have had a HORRIBLE experience with John's appliance and repair…read more
We had a new washer delivered, and the rental management company that takes care of our rental property hired John's appliance to move the new unit up the stairs, replace the old washing machine unit with the new one, and repair the belt of our dryer, and to replace the broken water collection tray under the units.
The first time they came out, Alex and another young man spilled stagnate water all over the carpet on my stairs and living room floor without offering to clean it up. The house smelt like sewage for the rest of the day. They needed a part for the dryer, so they were unable to fix it at that time. However, the next day when trying to run a load, we discovered the new washing machine shook and danced around the laundry room with the dryer on top of it. The dryer almost fell on my daughter, who tried to stop it and would have if she hadn't screamed, causing me to run up the stairs just in time.
The SECOND they came back out, Alex replaced the belt on the dryer and "leveled" the Washer. Alex was rushing to leave, but I asked him to stay for a load to see if it worked. I made the mistake of not putting any clothing in for the test, and it looked okay; I told him it might run differently with the weight of a load in it, but he was in such a hurry that I let him go. When we tried to run an actual load, it danced and tried to shake off the washer again. Again we told the management company, and this time we immediately texted Alex too. He asked me to take a picture of the back, but I couldn't at the moment, and then he ghosted me (like in other reviews) for multiple days.
After the management company contacted John, they were promised to send someone out either that night or the following day to fix the issue. That Monday, Alex said he would come by the next day and get it fixed. He said he "forgot to take the shipping screws out" On Wednesday, after several attempts by myself and the management company, we finally got ahold of them, and Alex said he would come by.
When he arrived the THIRD time, Alex still did not have the replacement tray and gave me attitude when I questioned him about it. After about five minutes of working on the washing machine, he was leaving and about to head out the door when I asked him...
"Hey, can you please stay until I run a load, so we can ensure it runs properly like you had agreed to with the management company?"
That set him off, and he raised his voice and said, "Why are you acting like I didn't stay the last time?"
"You did stay the last time, but the management company already talked to you guys about staying this time, so we can make sure it is working."
He rolled his eyes, and we went back up the stairs.
I said, "I'm sorry; I'm a little frustrated because you have been telling me every day this week that you were going to show up and then ghosted me when it came time to do the job."
"I never said I was going to come to fix this." He replied
"Would you like me to show you the text messages you sent me?" I asked
"YOu know what Im out of here!" He yelled and left.
I called the management company and told them what had happened. They called John's appliance....
It turns out that he did get the washer working, but he did not connect the dryer exhaust to the hose, so the hot air gets put outside.
The management company says he will come back.
He comes back, but he does not say a word to me. I direct him to the problem.
After about ten minutes, he starts to leave again.
"Are you finished?' I ask
"Yeah," he says as he exits the door. I decided to check his work. The picture below is what he left us with.
While I'm taking the picture, my wife went out to stop him. I don't know exactly what was said, but he said that's the best job he can do and called my wife crazy.
KEEP IN MIND The picture included with this review is the "BEST" they can do.
I am completely appalled by our experience.
