I called and arranged an appointment. I received a call the day before to confirm. The tech called about 10 minutes before arrival to let me know he was on the way. He arrived and immediately went to work, he was courteous and professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem and made the repairs in less than 25 minutes. He cleaned up but there was really no mess to be cleaned. He had the necessary repair part with him. He told me to call if anything went wrong but so far the ice dispenser is working fine.
Four months later the refrigerator stopped working and we called Dave's about fixing it but they said they could not look at it for six days (even though I reminded them they'd recently fixed it). We wound up buying a new refrigerator to avoid losing all our food and being without a refrigerator.
I originally called Dave in early July 2014 because the microwave, although it had power, did not warm food when turned on. It took some time to get the appointment because the office is overworked ? non-responsive? He came and said the fault was in the door which he repaired. I got the bill and before I could pay it, his wife Valerie called to say the billing was incorrect and that they would send out a new bill. In the end, it was correct but I had to call them to finally get confirmation that I should be able to pay the original bill. That took until the end of August.
The repair did not last long and in September 2014, the exact same issue started again. He did come promptly and he actually removed the microwave form the wall and took it to his repair shop. To his credit, because I think he and his wife are honest, he did not ask for any money since he stated this fell under his work warranty. He brought it back and it worked but the repair lasted only about 6 weeks. I called again in November. I spoke to his wife. She said they were busy but she would get back to me with when Dave could come by. I never heard from her. I called again. She said that Dave didn't know what was wrong with my appliance. She promised Dave would get back to me. It is now January and I never heard form Dave or Valerie.
I think Dave knows his stuff. I think Valerie is very nice. However, the non-responsiveness and the need to call multiple times is just too much. I need someone who is easier to schedule with. I don't blame him for not getting the repair right. I certainly understand that there may be some other issue so that is not a concern.
1) He could fix the cooling, temporarily.
2) There would need to be a control board that would be replaced on my refrigerator. He told me that they would call me back in order to reschedule an appointment.
After a couple of weeks, I had called and left a couple of voice mails, but had yet to hear back. I finally got in touch with Valerie, who apologized profusely, and told me that she would call me by the end of the day to set up an appointment.
That call never came, I tried to call back near the close of business but it seemed they had closed early.
I managed to get in touch with Valerie a few days later, who seemed surprised that Dave had not yet been out to fix my refrigerator. She apologized again, and promised me that Dave would be out THAT DAY to fix my issue.
Dave, again, did not show up.
It's been almost 3 months now, and this problem has still not been fixed. I have called the warranty service and they have also informed me that the company not only billed them for the part that did not get installed in my refrigerator, but he also had marked my issue as resolved despite it not being so.
Through this, not one call has ever been given to me to try to schedule an appointment, to apologize for missed appointments, nor to inform me that they were never planning to finish this whatsoever.
I would not recommend Dave's under any circumstances, and it very much appears that they have absolutely no interest in earning any future business from me.
