Appliance Repair

Found this appliance service on the internet. I did not investigate this company. Called for a service call. Repairman could not find the house even though he had our address in Parkville in his gps. On arrival, he seemed knowledgeable about the problem with our GE washing machine. He determined that it needed a part that would cost approximately $121. In order to expedite the delivery of this part, I would have to pay $45. The total bill would be $247.33. In good faith, I agreed to pay a $123.50 deposit, with the balance due when (James) would return to install the part and reset the washer timing. He gave me an invoice that had an address heading for: A Star Services Appliance Repair out of Lake Forest , CA A week passed with no word from this service. I called the numbers "James" gave me, including his cell number. He did answer on the third attempt, but promptly hung up on me. I called the number from the web site, but the clueless receptionist said she would get back to me. I haven't heard from that number either. "James" cashed my check immediately after leaving my house. Do not contact the website titled "KC APPLIANCE REPAIR PRO"! Phone number is 816-533-3509. They post no local address on this site! This supposed service is a scam!
