I needed my dryer repaired. I have used Sears before and they have gotten very expensive for just coming to your house. So, I decided to use a small, local business because I am one too. Few repair places had any reviews if at all. It was a shot in the dark.
I scheduled a time frame of two hours for the repair guy to show up. He called before hand and was on time. He was a talker I felt like he was trying real hard to impress me with his electrical knowledge. He said it was the heater fuse but didn’t have the part. He had to come back the next day. Who doesn’t carry such a common part. I wrote a check for the service fee and part and he wrote down he would be back the next day.
He arrived like 30 minutes early without calling replaced the part and on his way. Now he made sure he took that check to the bank the night before and cashed it. Not an hour later the dryer gets hot and it goes out again. I call him right away and he can’t get here until the next morning he tells me 10am. He calls me at 9am and says he’s 10 min away. I just got out of the shower. Okay let’s get this done. He brings in his vacuum and another fuse… hmmmmm and says there must be lint in the dryer and that’s why it burned out. No lint in the dryer.
He replaces the fuse and gives me this long song and dance that if it burns out again then it must be the heater thermostat. Now come on he could figure that out when it burned out a second time. what an idiot! Sure enough he leaves the dryer gets too hot and shuts down and won’t start for a third time. I’m pissed then and had a feeling this guy was long gone with my money and me with no working dryer. I called and got his voicemail and never heard back from him.
This guy is just a cheat and what goes around comes around and he’ll get his. I have no doubt.
