  I put in an online request on July 10th in the evening because the hinge on my fridge was broken. Got a call back and was told ******* would come on the 11th, which he did. He told me the hinges needed to be replaced on the fridge door and suggested that although only one was broken both should be replaced. Said he would come back either Saturday or Monday and sent me the invoice for half of the estimate which I paid.($218.73) Never came or called to let me know that he wouldn’t be there. After a few more days I contacted the company and they had him call me. Told me the part wasn’t in yet but he would contact me as soon as he had it. It’s now been almost 3weeks since the first visit. I have tried contacting the company and texting ******* but ….crickets. I would like my deposit returned, I'm willing to forego the $89 fee they told me would be charged for diagnosis

  In April 2024 we called about a loudly squealing dryer. We told them it was old, but still wanted to have them diagnose the issue. Once the diagnosis was done, we were give the option to repair the problem, which we agreed to. Parts were ordered and upon completion of the repair we were told there was no warranty, and we were not issued a receipt. A couple of days after the repair, the dryer started squealing again. We contacted Appliance Repair Experts and spoke with the manager, who read the service notes to us, indicating that the inside of the dryer was 'sketchy'. We were not told the state of the dryer when diagnosed, which would have changed our decision to repair. The manager said he would investigate and contact me, but that did not happen. I sent in an email complaint, and still no response. If we had known the state of the dryer before the repair, we would have declined the repair and simply bought a new dryer, which we ended up doing anyway because the old dryer was likely unrepairable. * ** ***** ** ******* *** ******* **** ** ****** **** ******** * **** *** ** ***** ******** **** **** ****** *** **** * ** ************ **** ** ****** *****

  I went to the website to book a repair for a small ********** refrigerator in June 2023. The repairman came and diagnosed the unit as needing a new compressor. I paid him $980 for the new compressor, visit and repair, and he never returned. I emailed the business on July 17th asking for the contact information for the technician. No reply. I finally reached someone on the phone, and they said they would contact the tech. He did not get in touch, so I emailed again on Aug. 2. Again, did not get a reply. After many disconnected calls, in September I reached someone, who gave me the technician's phone number. Since Sept. 29, I have texted him nine times and called him once. He repeated says he will come and does not come. Today I tried again to call the business to get a refund. Every call is disconnected. * ******* *** **** ** *** ******** *** ******* *** **** ** * **** **** **** ** **** ** *********** **** **** ***** I am happy to answer any specific questions you have. I am not interested in repair with this business. Thank you very much!

  I called this company regarding service for my washing machine. I said at the time that I would call back because I needed to confirm my schedule at work. I cancelled the appointment and was told that there was a cancellation fee that would be waived ONLY if I provided a 5 star google review. For a service that never happened. I refused, and the agent then threatened to send my contact details to a collection agency. Then I received 4 phone calls, 2 emails and three text messages (I saved them all), asking me to contact them for a “special offer” to resolve my issue. Today - I received an invoice for $100 for a service call that never occurred. ******** ******** ********* *** **** ****** ******* **** ********* *** **** ********** ** ******* *****  To resolve this issue, I would like a formal acknowledgement that no service occurred and I do not owe them any money at all. Thank you

  When I booked the appointment they told me that I had to pay for the service call but if I went ahead with the repair, the service call fee would be waived. I asked, "What if you don't have a solution to my problem?" The guy said, "Don't worry — we always do." The technician came and inspected my dryer and said we simply had to order a new part. He gave me a reason as to why I needed to pay for the part in advance. **** ******** ****** **** **** * *** **** *** I paid for the service and the part. When I didn't hear back from the technician within the timeline he had promised, I tried contacting the company but wasn't able to get through to them. My call wouldn't go through or I would get hung up on after telling them my issue. So I disputed the credit card charge with ****. Finally, I got through to someone at the company who gave me the technician's number. His name is DALLAS K. He was responsive at first and updated me on the status of the part which he said was coming. He later became aware of the dispute claim and I told him I would cancel it now that I had gotten a hold of him which I did. Eventually, it was determined that they no longer manufacture the part I need. Dallas told me he was unable to refund me for the service call but he would refund me for the part out of his own pocket (for some reason). He was responsive at first but kept delaying the time when he would issue the refund **** ********* ******** I've now attempted to contact him 6 times over the course of the past month and he is completely ghosting me. To make matters worse, **** can only investigate a charge ONE TIME so they refuse to re-open my case disputing this charge. **** ******* *** **** ******** ******* ** ****** **** ****** ******* **** ******* **** ******** ****************

  On December 28, 2023, we reached out to Appliance Repair Experts to address an issue with our refrigerator. They charged us a deposit for a part, and have since completely stopped communicating with us. We have tried emailing and reaching out to the specific technician, but no response. We have since fully replaced the refrigerator and seek full reimbursement of the deposit.

  On Monday, Jan 22nd 2024. I requested a technician from this organization to come out to look at a broken dishwasher. My request was that I need the technician to come in the morning AS I clearly informed them that no one will be available past 1pm. I was provided with a timeslot of 9am -1pm and was assured that he would be there around 9am. "That I would be the first client of the day". When the technician did not show up by 11am I called to follow up and complained about the timing. I was then sent a message that the technician is on route. I called again to follow up on the exact time of arrival as now I am nervous about the time constraint. I was told to hold while the customer rep called the technician to confirm the timing, I was hung up on instead. After another hour went by and the technician was still not there. I called again to follow up on his status. At this point, I was hung up on again. When I called back again to cancel and reiterate that no one will be available past his scheduled window time of 9am -1pm, my calls were ignored or picked up and then hung up on. As such, Today when I received their invoice for a service that was not rendered, I immediately called to complain. I was informed that they were charging me anyways because the technician "eventually" did finally show up. To which I informed them that business do not work this way. That you can not just show up when its convent for you and when the customer is not available, then not provide your services and still think you can charge them. When I made the comment on how we have a contractual agreement for the technician to provide services within the hours of 9 am and 1 pm in which none were provided. I was told that oh well there is nothing they can do about the invoice. Then they proceed to hang up on me again. When I had my husband call, they picked up and were conveniently professional until they realized that we are connected and proceeded to hang up on him as well. A formal written complaint was sent to the organization that invoice will not be paid due to lack of services rendered and inappropriate business behavior's.
