Astro Appliance Repair is incompetent and lacks integrity. They were assigned as my service pro with American Home Shield in the middle of July. I had the unfortunate experience to have a dryer, dishwasher and microwave all break down within a week of each other. They came a week later and did the diagnosis and "ordered parts". I called a week later and asked for an update on the parts. The office manager said she would have to call the parts department and call me back. A week later, I called again with the same answer... she would have to check with the parts department and return my call. After this, she wouldn't answer the phone anymore. I was kind and respectful the entire time and really tried to be understanding of the process.
I got AHS involved and they were able to make contact and Astro told them the parts were ordered. I continued to check every week and there was always a different arrival day for parts- they said they had received some parts but not others. I was giving them grace because I know imports have been weird.
Then I called AHS again for an update after I received an email that I needed to contact them about my microwave/dryer. Mind you, now it is September 15, a full 2 months after I put in my work order. They said my claim was denied because Astro had reported to them that day SEPTEMBER 15 that they didn't order the parts because my microwave was full of mold and roaches and that my dryer line was clogged and that caused the failure on the dryer. First of all, NO, I don't have roaches or mold and my vent lines are cleaned regularly to prevent a fire. Secondly, WHY would they report this to AHS two months after they diagnosed the unit. They LIED so they wouldn't have to own up to why the parts didn't get ordered.
So, I requested a second opinion. The new company came out the same day, diagnosed the units, ordered the parts and will be out today to do the repair. Less than 10 days from start to finish.
Astro DID repair my dishwasher, but it took them two trips to figure the parts out and get it completed.
I just can't figure out the audacity of this company to treat customers this way and to keep people waiting for months and then lie about the claim. Honestly, I spent enough money going to dry my clothes to have been able to purchase a new dryer. I was kind, patient, understanding and as flexible as I could have been. Reading these other reviews lets me know that I am not the only one. read more
