Actually, I wanted to select 0 stars; but, the options did not allow for this choice. Regardless, smart Consumers BEWARE!!! This supposed repair/ service center is a SHAM!!! They do not care what it takes or what lies they spew into your hopeful ears, in order to get you through the door to get the $50.00 diagnosis fee out of your pocket & into their hands. The phone personnel "Captain" or whatever he lied & said his name was, listened attentively to my description of how my Sharp brand TV was responding defectively, and systematically encouraged me to bring the TV in for repairs that I was assured could be done & would cost me no more than $125.00. The $50.00 diagnosis fee would go towards the final $125.00 repair cost. I was on the phone with this A-1 Factory Service personnel for approximately 15 -20 minutes, asking, what I felt were the accurate & critical questions, listening for any doubts that my TV could fixed. The phone personnel did what I now know to be FALSE, these pauses where he stated he was looking up parts availability, & specific repair information about my specific Sharp TV model on his computer. This was all a LIE!!! Finally, he stated that I should bring my TV in, & that they would be able to repair it rather quickly. I then had my spouse drop the TV off the next day, which was a Tuesday. The salesman / personnel at the desk took the $50.00, stated that "If there were a problem with repairing my TV, such as parts availability, and/or the cost being more than than the original $125.00, that they would call us right away; However, if we did not hear back right away, that my TV would be ready by the following Saturday. We awaited diligently, for the phone call, checking our messages often, however, No Call came. This was good news, or so we thought! I arrived on Saturday to pick up, what I thought would be my repaired & working TV. This was NOT the case! Instead, this different personnel on duty, after searching around for paperwork on my TV, stated that my TV had NOT been repaired, & could NOT be repaired, because the parts had been DISCONTINUED!!! This is what the repair ticket / invoice stated. Of course I was APPALLED, & I did re-Iterate all of the information that was stated to me, by his store's phone repair personnel that the parts were available & my TV could be repaired, prior to bringing my TV in for repairs. This idiot's only response to me was, "Hey, I was out sick all week, I don't know anything about this; all I can tell you is what is stated on the ticket / invoice here." At that point, I realized that I had been SHAMED, CHEATED, BAMBOOZLED!!! These LYING, DECEIVING, DISHONEST ANIMALS, Preyed on my hopefulness & naive ignorance to their scheme to make money off of unsuspecting Consumers, any way they know how. I did request the return of my $50.00 deposit, considering the facts that I did not get the phone call stating that my TV could not be repaired prior to the scheduled Saturday pick-up day, & that the phone personnel had out & out LIED about the parts availability! The dest personnel only stated that he could NOT refund me, as he did not have the authority! He also asked that I could choose to leave my non-repairable TV there for recycling. I WAS NEVER SO INSULTED!!!! My prayer for A-1 Factory Service & TV Parts Outlet is that they suffer major financial loss, legal troubles, & that they go OUT OF BUSINESS, due to their & their employee's LACK OF MORALS, UNETHICAL means of operations, GREED! This has been my unfortunate experience, as a result of encountering A-1 Factory Service. I repeat, CONSUMER'S BEWARE! read more
