60 Minute Appliance Repair, also known as Allen Edwards Appliance Repair.
More like 15 minute scam artists! I have a stove top oven that is just over a year old. It came with my new condo, and had been used only by me, less that 5 times. When I was reheating a pizza, a spark flew out of the back. The gas would still turn on, but the flame ignitors (or burners, or pilots) wouldn’t turn on. I had to use a match to start it.
Finally when this gentleman came over, he exams the stove for about 15 minutes (and most of that was moving the stove away from the wall) he gave us an estimated cost of 499.00 dollars, and then charged me 50 dollars for the house call. How he could have estimated all of that, without even looking at a single part, was beyond me.
So, my friend and I checked out the stove ourselves. Took off one panel, and found that the power wire had a short in it from a slice in the insolation. So, I cut the wire, and spliced them back together and re-​insulated it.
Works perfectly, no thanks to Allen Edwards Appliance Repair! So, I called them up, and I told the lady my complaint. I told her the date and the address of the service and she asked me if the man who came was Igor. I said yes, and then she told me she would call me right back.
This was two weeks ago.
Damn it. Why is a good honest business so hard to find?
