Response from Turner Appliance
Not sure what she means by our service charge was $20 more. Our service charges start at $70, she is in our normal rate area which is exactly what she was quoted $70. As far as telling her she had to have her Angie's List coupon, that is just not true, we have customer's that have lost or misplaced their coupons all the time and we still give them their discount. We like making people happy with our service not unhappy, we want them to call us back for all their appliance needs. I tried to call her twice to see if I could do something for her but her phone rings and a voice message comes on stating she is not accepting any caals at this time.

Description of Work: Samsung dishwasher seal. Didn't order correct part and, on second visit when they discovered the part would cost $200+ I opted to buy new dishwasher. |Buyers should be aware this business charges for sales call and the cost of sales call is not included in repair. In addition, the owner advised there is a mark-up on parts after two of his employees assured me there was not. He did however tell me several times how he sleeps good at night because of how long they have been in business.

Response from Turner Appliance
Our technician Thomas diagnosed the problem with the dishwasher as being a bad door seal. After putting it on he saw it was still leaking out the bottom, he misdiagnosed it, his mistake. After looking further into it he saw the gasket on the bottom of the inner door panel was bad. He went ahead and called in the gasket and was told the gasket was sold only along with the complete inner door panel, and yes it was a little pricey, a little over $200 just for the part. The home owner decided to replace the dishwasher. She was a little difficult from the beginning as far as understanding how a service company runs. She was told when she called in, as every customer is told the same thing, that there is a service charge, not a "sales call", of $70 for a technician to come out to the house, any parts tax and labor if needed is on top of that. Not to hard to understand. After Thomas was there he collected the service charge and ordered the part. She called in wanting to know why there was a service charge and additional labor and said she was never told that. I told her I would listen to the recording and if she was not told that I would deduct the service call from her bill. I listened to the recording and she was not only told that from the girls but was transferred to me with other questions and I told her the same thing. I even invited her to come and listen. Everyone has a service charge. If they tell you they don't their lying, they will just inflate the cost on the parts and labor to make up for it. As far as marking up parts WOW who would do such a thing! I'm wondering if she thinks she is paying the same price for groceries at Kroger's that they pay, or are they marking up the prices too? I sure hope not. We get dealer pricing and she pays retail that's the mark up, welcome to America. I did tell her I sleep well at night but not because of being in business for so long but rather the way we run our business. Look at our ratings here and the BBB, they are A ratings. We bend over backwards with old fashioned customer service. Our customers are #1, they have to be. Without them where would we be? Thank you, Rick.

Description of Work: I had Turner come out to diagnose a knocking sound with my washing machine. The technician determined that the machine needed new belts. The cost of the belts was quoted at $35 and labor was quoted at $80. He didn't have the belts on his truck so he was going to have to order them and come back out another day to install them. I decided to order the belts and install them myself rather than pay $115. The technician understood and was very professional. I would use them again.

Description of Work: Very professional, on time, excellent fair price. My microwave (so I thought) was broken. Long story short, it did end up being broken, but they told me that I need a whole new mother board and they are no longer making them and that the whole microwave was dead. The microwave was not totally dead, it was actually a blown fuse that made the plug outlet lose power. He was to get back to me once he talked to his guy who can rebuild mother boards. He never got back to me. I ended up plugging the microwave into another outlet and it turned on and started to work, but ended up not heating things. |Only thing I was disappointed about was that the service man didn't try and see if it was indeed a bum outlet and did not call back with the info I was waiting on. |But with that said, I would still use them again, fair price, honest and punctual! |

Description of Work: I am filing this complaint against Turner appliance for the following reasons: |1. Poor customer Service |2. Mis-diagnosis of a problem |3. Not standing behind work as advertised |4. Damaging our floors |5. Rude and condescending response from the owner |We called Turner Appliance after looking at who could do work on a subzero refrigerator and after looking at Angies list for recommended repair. We chose Turner because of their "A" rating on Angies List , 3 year warranty on parts, and their statement indicating that they stand behind their work "Our home appliances can last for quite some time, but occasionally unforeseen issues occur. Our bonded, insured, and licensed experts can immediately respond to your specific needs." |1. First Call: We called Turner for a problem with our subzero freezer. Since my wife and I work, I asked for their first call so we could take some time off in the morning and go back to work. They said my repair man would be there between 8 and 9 the next day. So at 9:15 the next day, I called to see where our technician was, and the dispatcher said he was still in the shop and no one should have given me a 9am start as their techs come to the shop in the morning. I told them I specifically asked for a time as I was scheduling time off work and I was told my tech would be there between 8 and 9. So, at 9:45 the technician arrived. He was nice and courteous and diagnosed that our compressor was over heated and in attempt to save us from buying a compressor cleaned the condenser coil which was dirty and told me to wait an hour, and if the compressor didn't kick on, that I should call and tell them that I needed a new compressor. So after waiting about an hour and a half, I tried to turn the freezer back on. The compressor buzzed, but wouldn't cool the freezer. I turned the freezer off and I called Turner to order a compressor and they said it would take a couple of days to get the part in and they would call when it came in. |2. The compressor arrived and we again scheduled a call between 8 and 9. David (a different Technician) showed up about 8:45 with the compressor and in casual conversation asked if the first technician had come back after the compressor wouldn't come on. I said no and he thought that was strange as if they should have verified the problem, and I told him that I thought the compressor was trying to come on but wouldn't. He immediately said let me look at something and in about 30 seconds told me that my problem wasn't the compressor as I had no Freon in the system. He thought we may have a leak so he put some refrigerant in the system and after a matter of minutes we could hear the refrigerant leaking from where the evaporator coil is found. He said we would have to order an evaporator coil and it would take another couple of days to get in. I told him to order the part and we would wait |3. Turner called when the part came in to schedule David's return and I said that since we both work, can we schedule a first call again. She told me that David was busy with a first call the next morning, but that he could be there at noon and the job would take until about 2 to complete. I knew I had a scheduling conflict, so I told her that I would call my wife and call her back. After confirming that my wife could be there at noon, I called back and said that my wife could take a long lunch and be there at noon. She confirmed that David would be there at noon. At 12:30 the next day I called to see where David was and a different dispatcher told me that David would be there between 12 and 2. I told her that I was told David would be there at noon and not between 12 and 2 as she was explaining. She apologized but said she couldn't do anything about it as David was on another job. So in an effort to get our freezer working, my wife took a half a day off to meet with David. David arrived with another technician at 1:45 and apologized for the mix up. After trying to get the evaporator in and failing to do so because of the small opening, he attempted to patch the hole. That didn't work, so David said he would have to return with more people to help move the refrigerator |4. David returned the next day to replace the coil and in the process of pulling out the refrigerator broke a water line to the ice maker. David told me that he attempted to turn the valve to the water line off before moving the refrigerator, and thought he had actually turned it off. After water started pouring out on the floor, David went down to the basement and tried again to turn off the water at the valve again, and this time broke the part on the valve. He then went to the main water shut off to the house and closed that valve to prevent further damage. There was quite a bit of water on our hardwoods and it took multiple towels to dry up. David said that the Plexiglas that they used to bring the refrigerator out on had water underneath it, and he thought that is where the damage occurred. David told my wife that they have accidents like this and that they would take care of the hardwood floors after the freezer was fixed. David replaced the coil and pressurized the system and left with the freezer operating. That night the freezer stopped operating. We called Turners and told them that our freezer had stopped working and that our floors were damaged and we got a message that they would return our call that night or the next day; so much for emergency service |5. The dispatcher called the next morning and told us that the owner would address our floors on Monday and David was already on his way to our house. He got to our home and found a shrader valve leaking on the compressor which he quickly repaired. We showed David the floors and he said that they would probably have to sand and refinish the floors. We told him that we knew it was an accident and he stated that they had many other accidents like this and he had heard that their insurance was getting more expensive. We never anticipated the following |6. Rick Turner called my wife on Monday and was condescending and rude. He told my wife that he hadn't talked to the technicians who had worked on our freezer and he would have to get their side of the story. He knew that our floors had been damaged, but insinuated that it was our fault. My wife asked how we could be responsible and he answered that it was faulty copper lines. After talking to my wife for about 10 minutes, my wife told Rick that she was going to turn the problem over to her husband, and told him that that he never apologized for our inconvenience, our damaged floors, or our loss of work from the wrong diagnosis. We have never ever had a problem with the water lines before Turner appliance showed up and moved the refrigerator. I called Rick that afternoon and he again told me that he would have to talk to his technicians but he told me their company was in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and Angie's list. I told him that I work for a service company and accidents happen, and we weren't accusing his company of doing the damage on purpose. We just expect to be treated fairly and for his company to stand behind his work. He assured me he would fix it if it was his fault and he would call me before noon the next day. He called the next day and told me that the copper line to the ice maker was installed incorrectly and they weren't at fault. I told him that wasn't acceptable as we have never had a problem with the refrigerator and freezer before his company showed up. He then asked me to talk to plumbers so that they could explain the problem to me and I told him I wasn't going to waste my time and energy following up on his poor workmanship. I told him I would see him in court( we haven't ever done this before). |7. We have never ever sued anybody for work done on our home, and for most part, have had great work done by the people we have come to our house. I don't understand a company not standing behind something they did. Rick never even offered to come out and look at the damage, as his stance was that the refrigerator lines were installed improperly 28 years ago. Again, let me reiterate that we have never had a water problem with the freezer before his company came out to work on our freezer. I want people to be aware that this company does not stand behind their work; they do not come on time as promised and the owner, Rick, talked to my wife like she was a second class citizen. My wife and I regret our experience with Turners and want to advise others to stay away. |8. We are now updating our kitchen (cabinets and appliances) and our contractor who is doing the work said our floors are ruined by the water that had come from our refrigerator( floor is bowed) He is currently working up an estimate to replace the floors, but his rough guess is around $3000 |

Response from Turner Appliance
With this dating back a couple of years I wanted to talk to David the technician who actually did the repair. After sitting down with him and reading the initial email it all came back to both of us. I will say this about our company and have documentation to back this up, if we damage anything in a business or home and it is our fault we will take full responsibility and take care of whatever needs done 100%. Again as I told her before with all due respect what happened in her home was not any fault of David's or theirs. Before David started the job he went into the basement and turned the dedicated water supply shutoff to the refrigerator off,protocol. The repair to the refrigerator was to be done underneath. David pulled the bottom grill off and noticed the water valve had corrosion on it from a previous leak, he took a picture of it as we do on anything we see out of the ordinary to protect ourselves. Corrosion comes from seepage or a slow drip,then the deposits in the water actually coagulate and will seal itself over time, just as a small cut on yourself will, the blood will coagulate and seal itself. The reason the water valve had corrosion on it was because it was improperly connected at the time of installation,whether it was 28 years ago or 28 days. When a line is correctly installed with a compression fitting, which is composed of an outer compression nut and an inner compression ring, more commonly referred to as a ferrule, it should never leak. When the compression nut is tightened the ferrule is compressed between the nut and the female fitting. The ferrule during this action clamps around the water line creating a water tight seal, it should not seeep or drip from this point on. If you see corrosion you know it's been leaking. What happened at your home were 2 things. 1) the nut was never tightened properly thus letting water seep, coagulate, seal and form corrosion on the valve. 2) When David pulled the refrigerator out the coper waterline pulled straight out of the compression fitting leaving the compression nut and ferrule still on the valve, proof it was never tightened. You should be able to pull any refrigerator out any time you need to without your water line coming off. Can you imagine every time someone pulled their refrigerator out the line came off? Had the nut benn tightened properly it would be impossible to pull the line out of the compressed fitting. At this point water started spraying out of the disconnected line. David had already turned the water shut off in the basement before he started. I don't believe this would be David's fault either seeing their shutoff was faulty. David ran down to the shutoff thinking he didn't get it turned of all the way and when he tried to turn it more the handle broke off. He then had to look around to find the main house shutoff to finally get the water to stop. Improperly installed compression fitting and an old shutoff that would not turn the water off, David's fault?? I don't think so. I know you feel we were at fault here but I would encourage you to talk to a licensed plumber with this letter in hand. I'm sure he would have a compression fitting on hand and be able to show you exactly what I am saying. As far as the 12:00 apointment we never pinoint a time only because it is impossible. Our 1st job of the day is between 8-9 then there are 2 hour windows for each job after that. The guys sometime are running ahead of schedule, behind schedule,and sometimes right on schedule. They have to get parts during the day and sometimes gas, eat and deal with traffic that's why we need a window, any service company needs a window. As far as you feeling I was disrespectful I want to say I am very sorry I came across that way. That is not what I believe or practice. I try and treat everyone the way I would like to be treated. Obviously you didn't feel that way and I am very sorry. Thank you, Rick.

Description of Work: Turner Appliance was very responsive to my call to service my refrigerator a few days before Thanksgiving. They came on Saturday for the initial diagnosis, returned on Monday and again on Tues when the part had been located and delivered. The service technician was explained all the options, approximate costs, and times for repairs. I am very pleased with their service.

Description of Work: I called and they came out the next day. I had a microwave/oven combo that would not work. I was able to schedule an appointment while on the phone the first time. They gave me a 2 hr window and Bobby was there during that time frame. Bobby told me that it was one of two things and he would order the parts for each so that he could fix it as soon as the parts were in. He said it would be about 7-10 business days, but it was only 3 days. He came out and repaired the oven. He tested everything. All the parts were new and under a 3 yr warranty. He was very personable and answered all my questions. I will use them again if I have any appliances that break after the original warranty runs out.
