When I called Mr. Appliance, I inquired about the cost of the service call. I was quoted a price of $144.45 (that includes tax) plus the cost of the part. I had already been given a quote from another company for a flat fee of $160, plus the cost of the part. Since Mr. Appliance?s price was lower, I made the appointment with them.
I told them that I needed a new seal for my washer because mine had a hole in it. I asked if the service person would bring the
part out with him. I was told no, that the person has to come out and look at the machine.
When the service person came out, he looked at the machine and concurred that I needed a new seal. He used his computer to check the cost of the part, which was $85. He then said that if I wanted the repair, it would cost $294.47 plus tax.
I was shocked! I would never had made the appointment with Mr. Appliance if I had known the cost would be any more than the flat rate of $160 that I got from the other company. When I explained this to the servce person, he called the office and the only thing they were willing to do was give me the member rate of $260. He charged me $144.45 for doing absolutely nothing but giving me a higher price. When I think about it, the office could have given me an estimated price at the time I set up the appointment, using the exact computer program the service person used. That would have been the right thing to do, and then I could have made an informed consumer decision.
I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and I cannot afford to be ripped off like this.
DO NOT USE MR. APPLIANCE!
For the future, beside asking about the service fee I would also ask about the labor charge and be able to make comparisons using that as a criteria.
The part cost around $50 and the labor was around $200. I feel that the charge for labor was way out of line for a 15-30 minute job. I called the repair service on the following Monday to get a breakdown on the job since this was not detailed on the receipt. Although the repairman was very pleasant, knowledgable and quickly repaired the washer, I don't think that I would use this service again nor would I recommend it to friends.
Parts were on back order from the supplier and Mr. Appliance continually followed up and kept us advised of the status. When the parts were received by Mr. Appliance, they promptly made an appointment with us and installed the parts.
Mr.Appliance staff were courteous and professional throughout the entire process. I would recommend them without hesitation and will use them in the future
For me what I was impressed with, was when I called Mr. Appliance was that there was a "live" person answering the phone. A very courteous woman took down all my information assessed my needs and then forwarded me to the technician who quickly set up an appointment (which I was surprised that he arrived quite close to the time he stated he would arrive).
All-in-all, a great experience!
sets up the appointments, was very courteous and helpful. When the oven
shut off and stopped working, the fan would not shut off and she said
she would get in touch with a tech and call me back, which she did,
within 5 minutes.
The tech called before he came and was on time. He was very neat and
also courteous. He determined the problem, which was a relay that was
stuck shut and the digital control panel.The tech said the office would
get back to me within a 1 to 2 days with an estimate, which they did.
Because my range is almost 10 years old, I decided that the cost to
repair was not worth it since it would almost be $1000 and I don't know
if something else might break.
I thought the charge for the service call was on the high side,
approximately $150. However, had I done the repair, the service charge
would have been credited towards the repair bill.
"Thank you it was our pleasure!"
"Sir, I think you have the wrong company. We were never contacted by you. In any case, I have to respond to your complaint. It is true we do not install customer supplied parts. The reason is not because we want to mark them up. The reason is we offer a warranty on all our repairs and can not guarantee parts we did not purchase. I would think whatever company you spoke to would have explained this to you."
