"Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Our records show we visited your home on the Dec 2nd 2015 to diagnose the washer which had a bad tub bearing and you were only charged the service fee of 69.55 I think maybe a different company came to fix the dryer?"
"We Appreciate the Positive Feedback!"
When I called, I was told it would be $65 to diagnose the problem and then the technician would tell me how much it would be to fix it and how much parts/labor would be based on if the particular parts were still covered by the limited warranty on my 2 year old unit.
The technician came and pulled the dishwasher out. 10 minutes later, he found the problem; it was a hose that had gotten loose/fallen off because of the cheap one time clamp that Jenn-aire puts on the units. So, he zipped tied it and now it doesn't leak. So, I think great, $65 fix. NOPE! He charged me an extra $60 labor for putting one zip tie on that costs a nickel at Lowe's and didn't bother to tell me he was going to be charging me more until he writes up the bill.
So instead of $65, the bill is $135 including the tax. I asked him about the $60 labor charge and he said, that's how we do it. If he told me he was going to charge me $60 for reconnecting a hose with a zip tie, I would have told him not to do it.. But it was already done and I wasn't going to have him pull out the dishwasher to remove the zip tie.
I don't plan on using them again. I assume that if I had them come and diagnose something that wasn't working and found it was just unplugged, then they would try and charge $60 labor for plugging it back in.
Jenn-aire gave me three possible contacts for the warranty diagnosis. I regret not going with one of the other two. I'm just lucky this was a simple fix and not something major.
F for Overall
F for Price
D for Quality (for $60 at least put in a hose clamp instead of a zip tie)
B for Responsiveness (They came when they said and the lady in the office did try to help me check some stuff on the phone)
B for Punctuality (3 hour appt window and they came inside it. Tighter window and/or call/text on the way would be an "A")
F for Professionalism (padding your bill, not introducing yourself and not offering to take off your shoes or use booties)
