Once lamp the dimmer box was in tatters and being held by an eraser. The other wouldnt hold the bulb in place. I was surprised to hear that this cost $90---but then was informed that they recommended rewiring both lamps. I dont know enough about this to comment.
The lamps are back and they are like brand new!
Positives
Greatly Quality
Timely (2 Day turnaround)
Negatives
Pricey (but you get what you pay for)
They said they would call when it was ready, and never did. (this is a personal pet peeve)
Dropped off the lamps mid-afternoon 8/6 and picked them up same time 8/7.
They are beautifully polished and shiny; the wiring is new, as are the sockets, and bulbs.
Thank you, guys.
I saw that Appliance Fix-It had excellent reviews so I called and asked if they would honor the warranty which was still in effect. They said they would but they told me that warranty work typically takes several weeks. I did have to pay the diagnostic fee. I didn't mind so long as they could identify the problem. They checked the vacuum over and did not find anything wrong in their checks or when they tested it. They called me about 36 hours later and told me what they found. I asked them to test it again for a longer period of time and they still found nothing and had no problem with the belt slipping. However, they did replace the belt and replaced the vacuum bag at no extra charge to me.
I thought the staff was courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. They offered me some vacuuming tips that the said may be causing the slippage. I brought the vacuum home and have had no problems since. I would definitely use them again.
