"This experience has been a nightmare of frustration. Gilbert from G&I Appliance Repair contacted me on 4/20 about repairing our refrigerator. I explained to him the refrigerator is slightly cool but not cold enough, and the freezer just cold enough to keep ice from fully melting, but will not freeze anything solid. He advised it was a compressor problem without going to my home to do a diagnostic look over. I told him I had tested the fans and the compressor, and they were working. The problem was they were not blowing cold. He insisted it was a compressor problem, and advised me he was an expert and to trust him. He came to my home on 5/1 and replaced the compressor, said it was fixed but it would take a few hours to cool. He charged me $603 and left. I messaged him that same night and told him the refrigerator was still not working. He came back the next day and worked on it, told me it was now working but to wait another 24 hours for it to start cooling again. I once again brought up the fact that the old compressor was working fine and it appears he fixed something that was not broken, and the actual problem is something besides the compressor. He assured me it was the compressor, that he had fixed it and it was now working. On 5/2 the refrigerator was still not cooling effectively and was functioning exactly as it had been when I initially requested a repair. The freezer would not freeze all the way and refrigerator would hardly cool. I called Gilbert and told him neither the freezer or fridge were cold enough, and he asked if I had used a thermometer to gauge the temperature. When I told him “no,” he questioned how I could possibly know it was not cold enough. The curdled milk and fruit flies flying around it are a strong signal that it isn’t cold. Even still, I don’t need to know exactly how much someone weighs to tell of if they are fat. Gilbert offered to come back out and diagnose the problem, but I had already paid $603 dollars for a needless compressor repair. Gilbert now thinks the actual problem might be with the 3-way valve, but he is not certain and he wanted to come back to my house. I asked him why he replaced a fully-functioning compressor if the problem was elsewhere, for which he cannot provide an answer. I told him I wanted a refund, and even went so far as to pay him for a diagnostic fee, which is generous considering he never came out to diagnose the problem in the first place, and he still does not know why it is not cooling. Gilbert suggested I was trying to scam him and was lying about the refrigerator not working just so I could get a refund. He refuses to refund me. I’ve used Angi for several repair needs, and this is the first one with whom I’ve had a bad experience. It’s been awful to say the least. Pathetic, to say the most."

"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

"Service was excellent. We are in Laredo TX, not many people respond as fast and courteously as this company did. Our fridge quit working in the middle of this pandemic. Not only were they fast to repair it, but they took all their necessary precautions to make sure we safe."

"American Home Shield (AHS) warranty is replacing my broken microwave with a new one. I received the new microwave on 11/11/2020 and notified AHS it was in my possession. Part of the warranty contract includes the installation of the new microwave. AHS typically assigns contractors themselves. However, this time AHS contracted with C & R Services with a dispatch number on 11/13/2020 for C & R to assign a local contractor to do the install. After two weeks of waiting and not being contacted by C & R or a contractor, I called C & R to follow up on the status. They said it would be 1 to 2 weeks from the date they received the dispatch from AHS. I informed them it had been 2 weeks in which they replied that it would be another 2 weeks. As of today, 12/11/2020, 4 weeks from the date C & R received the dispatch, I have not been contacted by C & R or a contractor. C & R's lack of communication and customer service is absurd. AHS informed me that they do not have any authority over C & R."

"I ordered a part from this company for my dryer. They claim: 2 Day Quick Delivery! 365 Day Return Policy! Free Tech Support! I returned the unused part in their own packaging and they refused to provide a refund! Apparently, there's some hidden small print in their return policy that if you open the box and touch the product, that item is no longer eligible for a refund. They claim that the part showed signs of installation such as scuff marks. I asked for the part to be sent back to me for inspection by other professionals, but they refused because they disposed of the part. I've never encountered with such a scam company as this one and advise all to stay away from their misleadings! Good luck trying to get a refund from them, you're not getting one."

"This is the first online review I've ever written -- my experience with this company was that bad. Three aspects that deserve attention: 1) I placed an order and tried to cancel six minutes later. Turns out they don't accept cancellations. 2) I couldn't find a phone number, so I had to work the return/refund by email. The exchange was painful -- so unhelpful I felt like I was interacting with a bad chatbot. 3) I ended up eating shipping costs (expected) and got hit for a 50% restocking fee (unexpected) because I refused the package instead of paying to ship it back. Didn't matter that it went to the correct address, was clearly labeled, and had prior return authorization. So I ended up with a $21 refund on a $60 order, and a lesson learned about where not to buy appliance parts."

"The person performing the service had to make several trips because one of the "new" parts turned out to be faulty. I found both Complete Protection and their local repair contractor to be both very responsive and totally professional at every stage of the repair process."

"Terrible company. Possibly a scam. They attempted to sell me a part they didn't even have, and after waiting patiently for OVER A MONTH, I canceled my order. When calling them to confirm, they told me they never had the part to sell to me. What a joke!"
