The *Absolute WORST* - ZERO stars.
My property management company had Al's Appliances replace my decades old refrigerator. Four guys delivered the fridge. But the "NEW" refrigerator leaked continuously, filling the crisper drawers with water. After weeks of this and finding no other solution, I called my property management company and told them about the problem. They sent a repairman who tried to fix the fridge, but it still leaked, so I called them again. That very day I receive a copy of the email to Al's Appliances requesting a replacement fridge.
Al calls me on Friday and says he wants to try fixing the fridge before replacing it. "We'll be out Monday around 4pm to fix it, and replace it Tuesday if we can't repair it."
Monday comes and goes - No call, No show.
Tuesday I call Al's the minute they open. "Oh, we'll come out today and try to fix it, and make another appointment tomorrow to replace it." WTF??? Who has time to sit around waiting for repairmen that never come??? "NO," I say, "You said you would repair it yesterday and replace it today. I was here all day yesterday and you never showed up. So you need to repair it or replace it TODAY." "Ok," he says. And we set an appointment for between 3 and 5pm.
Around 4pm a *single* guy shows up with the fridge. I take everything out of my old fridge and make space while he takes the fridge apart. Then he tries to take it down the stairs ALONE and he can't do it. He calls for help, but they won't send anyone. So I offer to try to help, but we can't get it down the curved stairway. He calls Al's again and they tell him I have to make ANOTHER appointment. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT??? So I call Al's and tell them - I have a delivery guy here trying to deliver a fridge, the old one is in the hall, the new one is on the sidewalk, and you need to send someone to help him. Al gets on the phone and begins to mansplain how they *always* just send one guy to deliver the fridge and if they had known the hallway was curved blah blah blah. Never mind that FOUR guys delivered the fridge initially from Al's. Never mind that if they had come to repair it like they said they would on Monday they would have seen for themselves that the hallway is curved. He is adamant that I have to make another appointment ("YOU WANT YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR NOT?!"), and I am equally adamant that it needs to happen TODAY ("I want you to do WHAT YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO!"). I have missed THREE DAYS of work because of this unbridled incompetence! The conversation ends with Al seeming to think telling me he's going to call my property management company is going to be some kind of *threat*. Hey Al - Yelp much?
I am strongly recommending that my property management company dump Al's as their go-to appliance store. And for anyone considering using his services, I have this to say: Al is a Grade A Jackass who couldn't care less about you as a customer. 阿爾迪會不敬你。 read more
