    In summary: I have dealt with not one but three people whom I've found underhand at this company…read more (NOTE: the manager has already given me the impression, via text, that he plans to suggest that I am 'untrustworthy' and 'threatening' in his reply to my review. All I can say is: please read my review all the way through, as you will discover that - possibly not coincidentally - these are the main complaints that I have about his company.) 1. I initially got in touch with this company in autumn 2018, to replace a dishwasher heating element that was not working. Hamid replaced the element and the dishwasher was working again just fine. I would have rated the company 5 stars at this point. 2. Last week, I found that the dishwasher wasn't heating the dishes any more. I texted Hamid this, expecting that he would replace/refit the element for free, given that their website says, 'we offer 1-year guarantee as standard on all parts and labour', which I felt left nothing ambiguous regarding their policy. Hamid told me in a text that this is the case 'for some jobs yes not for all', but didn't clarify how one is meant to tell the difference. We then spoke on the phone and I told him that I expected the company to honour its commitment to the 1 year guarantee and not charge me the £80 that he was then telling me it would cost to get the defective part replaced. In reply he said something to the effect of, 'Ok, if that's how you want to do it... Then maybe what I'll do is come round and find that there is something *else* wrong with your dishwasher'. I took this to mean that he was either going to take advantage of my lack of knowledge of dishwashers to tell me that another component than the heating element was at fault, or that he would perhaps do something to damage my machine while he was looking at it. I told him that I found this remark threatening. I asked for a refund for the part, as I did not want to deal with this company any more. 3. Hamid texted me the number of his manager, whose name I have never been told but whose number begins 07412. The manager told me that I would be refunded for the part without further ado. Once I had reflected on the offer of the refund, I decided that it was a fair enough resolution of the matter and informed the manager that I wouldn't write a negative review of the company after all. 4. Over the weekend, I received a text from the manager informing me that an engineer needed to come over to verify that the heating element wasn't working so that I could receive my refund. I agreed to this. 5. When the engineer came around, he verified that the part was not working and - then asked me if I wanted it to be changed. I said no and was confused to be asked. As mentioned above, I understood that the purpose of his visit was to check that the heating element wasn't working so I could get my refund. In any case, I had started a care plan with Domestic and General on the previous Friday because I didn't want to have to deal with London Appliance Repair any more, so replacing the heating element was useless to me. I asked the engineer if he had been instructed to replace the heating element and he said yes. I asked him again if he had replaced it and he said he hadn't, then he left. 6. Twenty minutes later, I got a text from the manager telling me that the engineer had replaced my heating element. I checked the dishwasher and noticed that it was suddenly heating up the water - so the engineer *had*, against my express instructions, changed the heating element after all. I told the manager that I had not asked for this. I can only imagine that their being so determined to change the heating element was a ploy so that they wouldn't have to refund me for the part. The manager has told that I will receive my refund anyway 'if I tell the truth in my review'. As you can tell from the above, I don't set much store by what he considers to be 'the truth', and in any case I don't think he's ever been intending to pay it. The company has just been wasting my time.
