were important. Then they located one, in stock, that could be
delivered within a few days. In addition we have used their services
for our ye 15 year old washer, dryer and 10 year old dishwasher. Probably not the least
expensive but definitely prepared to provide excellent repair services.
We have used this contractor on numerous occasions, for heating, thermostat, and AC repairs, for plumbing, for dishwasher repair, dryer repair, electrical additions. This occasion was a washer repair. They had stopped over at 7:00 pm to diagnose the problem, then ordered the part. They called us as soon as the part arrived, and again came out at 7:00 pm to install the part. When something breaks or stops working, we call them first. Very pleasant and courteous people to work with, they show up when promised, and do quality work. What more can you ask?
"The tech did a diagnostic service mode on the washer and it gave an error code which mean that the control is bad. He replaced the control board. The second time the customer called, we sent the tech. out after he diagnosed the washer it gave him an error code that the control is bad again, but it can't be as we replaced a new control-we called the manufacturer and spoke to engineer (they advised to replace the board after telling them that we already did they said that the motor will need to be replaced as well). After replacing the motor it gave the same error code. The tech. spend there over 3 hours checking EVERYTHING and finally he found two broken wires inside of the wires-it was not a visual that you can see, we charged the customer only for parts and it was not over $500 before tax. We didn't make any money but even lost, but we tried to make the customer happy and still came out looking bad. All our techs are certified and manufacturing trained. They followed the procedures that were given by the manufacturer. It wasn't just a LOOSE wire it was a broken wire on the inside of the wire that you couldn't see! And it would have taken a long time to find not just for our technicians but for any technicians. I'm very proud of out technician that found this problem. We are sorry that we couldn't make you happy but we tried the best as we could! We hear a lot of times from our customers, that other companies wouldn't even come out after being there for second time but we stand behind our job and tried to finish and really find, and fix the problem even if it means loosing money. We go beyond to make our customers happy but I guess you can't please everyone. We are here to serve our community and trying to be the best as we can! Thank you & God bless!"
Back to the dryer...
He comes back around a week later with the part to fix my dryer. He said that there was a build-up of lint in the dryer and he also needed to check my outside vent to see if it is clogged. So he checks the vent and sees a bird's nest stuck about 6 feet back into my wall. He said it needs to be cleaned for around $125 and I agreed. He proceeded to clean it, with what appeared to be a brand new, just opened cleaning apparatus. I was curious why he did not already have a used one handy... but anyway. I went inside and a few minutes later he calls for me to come outside. To my dismay, he said the birds had ripped the lining in the dryer vent piping that he was cleaning. I absolutely believe that the cleaning apparatus ripped the piping, not a bird. I could imagine a bird putting a small hole or two in the piping, but not completely tearing it all the way across. I could easily be incorrect as far as that goes because I am not an experienced repair man, but I doubt it. He said he could either try to pull the rest of the vent piping out, which would probably take a couple of hours because the length of my vent piping was about 20 feet, or tear out my drywall in my garage to gain access to it. At this point, I was basically stunned at how a simple dryer repair had turned into such a fiasco. I somehow kept my "cool" the whole time, though. So I just asked him to put the cap back on the exterior of the wall and leave it until I decide what to do, and that's what he did. Now he goes back inside to put the new part on the dryer. After a few minutes, he asked me for my vacuum cleaner to get the lint out of the dryer where it had clogged up. About 20 minutes go by and I went to check on his progress. When I got to the laundry room, I was making small talk with him as he was finishing up the job. I noticed a small box to the left of my dryer on top of my washer - it was the box that my new part came in. I noticed he was acting very strange and he kept glancing at the box out of the corner of his eyes. He quickly changed the subject from the small talk and asked me to go and get the first receipt he left a week earlier that showed my deposit for the part so he could calculate my bill. By the time I got back, he was completely packed up and the box was gone. Was my new part still in that box, or was he looking at the box to try to remember how much the part was? I guess I will never know. I paid him the total and he left. After he was gone, I noticed he had left his battery charger with a battery plugged into my wall in the garage. I called the receptionist, who is very cordial on the phone, and let her know that he left his battery charger and battery. I told her I would leave it wrapped in a plastic bag outside my garage so it would not get wet and he could pick it up whenever he wanted it. A little over a week later, he finally picked it up.
A very long story short, my dryer was still not working after he "installed" the new part, I had to fix my dryer piping myself, and all of this costed me around $250. After all of these headaches, I didn't even bother calling them back to come back out and see why my dryer was still not working. Not a fun weekend...
He was actually a friendly guy, but I would not recommend him to anyone, except maybe someone I don't like.
That said -- the tech was very good. He was early, polite, quickly diagnosed the problem, and made the repair. I wouldn't hesitate to call Expert Services again.
