After doing lots of research I decided to go with Appliance Works due to the reviews on here. I was truly disappointed with my experience!
I had their technician come out to check out my washer that wasn't working. I was sent a quote for a new motor for over $900. When I called to get a better understanding of what was wrong and why it would cost $900, I was told the technician would call to clarify. Without receiving a follow-up call I called back the next day only to be told that the quote I was sent was actually wrong and they would send me a new one. The second quote was over $600 less, how could the technician be that far off? That was the first red flag and I should have stopped working with them then, but since it was the holidays and this was for a rental and I wanted to get the unit back up and running as soon as possible and I was already in for the $75 for service call I told them to go ahead and fix it.
We knew we would have to wait a bit due to holidays and shipping - totally understandable - but I was told they would contact me when the part was in to schedule repair. Instead, after not receiving a follow-up call after waiting for the time period I was told I had to follow up only to find out that had called my tenant directly to schedule the repair. Frustrated they didn't call me - owner and one paying for repair - but I thought okay at least it is going to be fixed.
Day of repair technician comes out to fix the unit, great! Only afterward I was sent an invoice for the wrong price AGAIN! So yet again I had to call them to get a correct invoice. In the meantime, my tenant called to let me know that the dryer that was working before the technician came out to repair the washer was now not working. (washer and dryer are one unit). I called back and they promised to get a technician out the next day.
The next day a technician comes out takes a look at the dryer and leaves without opening the unit. Only after he left did I get to connect with him only to have him say, someone had been in the unit prior and there was a stripped screw so he wasn't able to get in without possibly damaging the unit. I get not wanting to do more damage without approval, but why not call me when at the house? Why wait till afterward? Now I am left with a unit that is still not working because he didn't try to open it or try to call me when on site. He mentioned he thought it was the blower, so I called Appliance Works and asked to send a quote to fix the dryer. I was told I would be sent one that day.
6 days later - New Years' in between so I was trying to offer grace with holidays I still hadn't received a quote, so I call back yet again asking for a quote. When I was finally sent a "quote" there was no quote just a note saying think it's the blower but don't know because didn't open the unit. Seriously? Who sends a quote like this? How am I supposed to know what is wrong to fix the unit? When I called to talk to a manager they apologized and offered to have another technician come out but seriously by now, I have learned my lesson with this business. Don't trust them! I had to chase them down for correct quotes more than once and then have a technician come out and not even open the unit to determine what was wrong - who does that? That's the whole point of having someone come out to determine what is wrong.
