Thank you for having TAS repairing your washer and we appreciate your posted review.
Customer called Toronto Appliance Service Ltd to repair not operating dryer. Our office staff as usual explained service and labour rates and customer had agreed to it (otherwise service would not be scheduled). Our tech arrived on scheduled date and promised time and found that belt was off. When opened dryer he found a lot of dirt and lint accumulation so he had cleaned lint from inside of dryer, vent hose all the way outside and replaced belt. Technician than had assembled dryer and marked it as working good now. Our tech had spent 45 minutes in customer house to do this job. Customer is considering that it took our tech 5 minutes to put the belt back on but he doesn't consider the fact that our tech spent time to disassemble and reassemble plus cleaning of it. Under company policy customer was offered quick repair rate that normally take up to 15 minutes repair time and not full service charge rates as we wanted to make sure the customers satisfaction. The dryer is working OK and customer is angry that he had to pay for service that could have been avoided. We fill sorry that we could not satisfy this customer any other way by getting his dryer repaired and in working order.
Diagnostic and dishwasher repair
Every company has service charge as well as labour charge. This customer has called Whirlpool and placed service appointment through them. Whirlpool has advised this customer of their prices. After we received service dispatch from Whirlpool we called customer to confirm appointment and to advise of our prices, methods of payment. Customer confirmed address, time of appointment and prices that we described to them and that was clearly marked on the front of our work order. Service charge covers trip charge as well as 15 minutes of diagnostic fee. Our tech spent in this house 45 minutes and not only that he diagnosed unit but had it cleaned from excessive lint built up inside dryer as well as vent hose all the way outside the house and made dryer work correctly. Our tech has charged customer according to our price code, $88 for service call and flat fee of $98 for repairing dryer. Our flat fee labour covers time spend on the job from 30 minutes to 2 hours and customer was advised of this fact before we dispatched our tech out. Our prices are not hidden, every customer is being told cost of repair in advance before we proceed to avoid any conflicts. This customer agreed to all of the above by signing work order and submitting payment by cheque right after job as completed. The dryer is now working – customer has a problem that she had to pay for the repair.
Thank you for your response. TAS appreciates that very match. We have been asking every customer to write their review on this site but we are not being very successful. I guess customers don’t want to waist anymore time than is necessary. Only the once that have financial issues and have been sent to collections want to discharge their anger against Toronto Appliance Service by writing bad reviews. Thank you again.
