BEWARE!!!! I hired Daniel Dolinger with Daniel Dolinger Property Prep to replace my home's heating and air unit. Daniel charged me $5,200 to instill a new heating and air unit. Three days after the installation, the unit outside stopped working. One week later, the heat stopped working. Daniel came to my home and charged me $400 to fix a thermostat wire. Two weeks later, the outside began to freeze up. I have contacted Daniel multiple times, and he refuses to respond. Daniel continually replies back that I need to text him. Daniel answered my call from another number, and when he realized it was me, he hung up. Beware, as he has signs posted around the area claiming to do A/C & Heat Service for $45 to call 828-218-2484. Please do not fall for his scam! Please share this post, hoping he does not take advantage of or scam anyone else. Legal action is being taken. read more

See all

OK for now. Hope my issue gets resolved. Seemed like a pretty nice guy. Tried to resolve the issue. Will update review depending on result.

I also have had similar poor experience with Daniel Dolinger. He was referred to me by my brother in law for refrigerator repair. I didn't look him up before to confirm that refrigerator repair was his specialty, but he didn't say that it wasn't. He came for the initial visit in mid September and charged us $60, advised us that he had to order the part and we haven't seen him since. After many calls, we finally received one call back in which he asked for the make and model of the appliance (what??). He scheduled to return with the part on Oct. 29th, but never showed up or called. Do not waste your time or money with this provider. I'm ready to file a BBB report as well. read more

Totally unresponsive. Assigned as a technician through Total Home Protection and never contacted me to set an appointment to see AC. I called and emailed for over two weeks with no response from technician at number provided. Stay away from them if you need someone to show up or communicate with you. Don't waste you money on this company! read more

This guy screwed us said ac was running good then nothing worked after wth you are sorry what goes around comes around

December 27, my water heater went out. I have Total Home Protection insurance. That is also a waste of money and time. Hooked up with Daniel Dolinger Property Prep. They replaced the elements, two days later, No Hot Water. Called, no response, called Total Home several times, finally they contacted Dolinger ,he said there was nothing wrong and refused to do the repair. Total Home said they could not find anyone to repair the water heater.One call later I had someone coming to fix it. The new elements that Dolinger installed had burned up because they didn't fill the tank completely. I think they should return my service call fee. I will not ever have them back. read more

All I can say is my warranty company which I would not use either Choice Warranty, sent Daniel to my home on Monday June 19th. My air was running all the time. He showed up in a personal vehicle? In less than 20 mins he stated everything running within specs. Wed night air was not cooling. Warranty company had him come back out, compressor bad. He states between 1500 - 1800 to replace. Guess what Choice warranty states overheated so is not normal wear and tear and they will not cover. So this was not seen on Monday?????? read more

Daniel Dolinger of Property Prep/Arepairman has got quite the scheme going on. They are sent to us by Choice Home Warranty and have worked with them before so they know the protocol. The Tech that came insisted that CHW would want a leak test on our HVAC. He was suppose to call and get it authorized. Instead he took an additional $200 check (made out to Daniel Dolinger); not the company. Then CHW needed further information on our claim and neither the tech nor Dolinger would make contact. They took our money and ran. They had the checks cashed in 4 days! CHW the sent us another company. In making a determination on our claim status; CHW confused the two companies and was trying to authorize a fix to a completely wrong problem on the HVAC. I have filed a complaint with the BBB against CHW and Dolinger. Im forced to give then 1 star in order to post my review. Stay away from them. I wish I could contact the other people that were affected so we can join together. read more

Had to fix someone else's mess for us and did a beautiful job was polite and and done on time. Thank you, definitely recommend

Daniel Dolinger Property Prep was contracted by Total Home Protection to repair my washing machine. Tony E their technician come the next day. He told me the dog ears were broken & the coupling wasn't broken but they do break often so he was going to order both parts. He said they are inexpensive and the warranty should cover. Total Home Protection denied my claim stating the problem was cased by rust and lack of maintenance. I asked Tony to give me a price for the parts so I could decide to repair or replace the washer. He was to call back within 1 hour on 4/18/2019 with price. 3 hrs later I called him & he had $63 price for one part but supplier was having trouble finding other part. After speaking with Total Home Protection on 4/22/2019, Daniel was to call back before end of day with parts price. Received call that he would have Tony call me since he was in my home & knew the exact problem. 4/25/2019 I called a local business to get my washer fixed for a cost of 229.34. I had already paid Tony $45.00 service call for Total Home Protection. To date (5/7/2019) I have not received a call back from Tony E. Total Home Protection is refunding my full cost plus giving me a free service call next time for the sorry service I received from their contracted company Daniel Dolinger Property Prep. Beware of this company especially technician Tony Edney. D Causby read more

Daniel Dolinger did a leak test on my AC Unit. He took $345 and never gave us a description of where the leak was. He basically took our money and ran with it. He didn't call back for four days either. I would not recommend this business to anyone, as he's very unprofessional. read more

Daniel accepted our assignment through Choice Warranty. Him and his partner came out said we needed a new thermostat and wires. That didnt get the air on, then he said we needed a blower motor. Paid for that. Now my air unit won't turn off and he has told choice he is not accepting any more jobs in our area. Do not use this business. read more

Daniel Dolinger was sent to my house by Choice home warranty for hvac. He run a leak test for Choice. They denied my claim after they lied about my claim. Contacted Choice and argued with them for over an hour. They finally offered me a buyout. I was very upset with Choice because they offered all these savings and replacement if it cant be fixed when you sign up. When it truly boils down to it they are the real crooks stealing people's money. Called around and got quotes for my entire system. Choices buyout price would pay for just outdoor unit not even the labor according to all the quotes I recieved. So I decided to call Daniel back just to see. He quoted me for indoor and outdoor unit. I only had to pay 100 dollars. Compared to the 700 to 1000 I would've had to paid other companys. So guess who I went with! Since then I have dropped Choice and decided to call him for all my appliance repairs! read more

Awful, my home warranty company scheduled them to service electrical issues with our water heater. Our appointment was scheduled for Friday, Feb 23. After waiting all day and calling we were told we were not on the schedule for Friday but Monday. Fast forward to Monday day 4 no hot water they show up at 310 we had an 11-3 time slot. Said your breaker amp blew that controls water heater we have to order it see you Wednesday. Wednesday day 6 no hot water 12 noon we attempt to call and text to see when we would be getting our issue fixed, no answer called warranty company said they contacted him and was told the thermostat needs replaced in the water heater they need the plumber back not us. This is not true thermostat replace on The 23 and if this is true why not answer the phone and tell us that or text us this. Because just like the other reviews state you sit in the truck the entire time while the other guy works so I know you received my call, voicemail and text. Disgustingly poor customer service. Made my home warranty company send someone else. Will be filing a complaint with the BBB. read more

This "company" (scam artist) was sent to my home by Total Home Protection (Home Warranty) for a leak in my washer and dryer squeak... The "technician" was in my home less than 10 minutes... The "diagnosis" was a front pump seal that had gone bad on the washer and a pulley assembly and belt on the dryer... Collected my $60 Service Fee... Was going to have the parts delivered directly to our home... when they arrived to give them a call... 3 weeks later... Warranty company reports the technician says there is nothing wrong with the dryer and the washer is leaking due to a rusted through drum... there is not a single spot of rust... of course the claim has been denied... this POS scam artist has now blocked my number and will not answer any text messages... Unless you like to throw away your money, stay as far away from these jokers as you possibly can! I think it is time to contact the BBB and the Attorney General! read more

I had a technician come out to the house to look at a heating and cooling issue. The technician indicated that the system was low on Freon. The technician called Choice to get authorization for the repair. Choice home warranty informed me that I would have to pay to have the issue diagnosed. This was a cost of $345.00 to have dye put into the system . Dolinger quoted me $300.00 then bumped it up afterwards. There was nothing visible in my contract that indicated all diagnostics for repairs were to be paid by me. I paid for the warranty to have systems repaired when they brake. Choice did not have any issues taking my money when they sold me the warranty, and did not inform me ahead of time that all diagnostic work would be at my expense. It is very difficult for a consumer to read through all of this and understand that fact. I think this is an unfair and deceptive practice. They refused to cover the repair, because the con artist (Dolinger) they dispatched said it was six pounds of Freon short, citing lack of maintenance. I started to complain and next thing I knew Dolinger took off and would not return my calls. Never even got a good bye! (RUDE) I had my own technician come out and they indicated there was no leak and the problem was resolved by adding two pounds of Freon. There should be some kind of governing body for these companies, just like there is for insurance companies. I would think this would fall under the consumer protection agency. read more

My warranty company Choice Warranty schedule an appointment for Daniel Dolinger Property Prep to come Wednesday 01/03/2018 between 3 pm and 8 pm to check out our heating unit. They schedule the appointment 3 days prior to Wednesday. We tried to contact Mr. Dolinger after we received the appointment to confirm the time. A day before the appointment my husband spoke with Mr. Dolinger to confirm the appointment. Mr. Dolinger said he would call him back Wednesday morning to give him the exact time to be sure someone is at home, sense we both worked pass 3:30 pm. We never got a call Wednesday morning so my husband got off work early so he would be home at 3:00 pm. Mr. Dolinger never showed up and when we finally got him to answer his phone he said that he could not come after 7:00, because the office was closed and he would not get paid. Which was bull, because when we contacted the office to complain about him, we found out that he had told the office that we had missed the appointment. The office schedule us another appointment, but not with him. I refused to schedule another appointment with him, because if you lie to me and about me then I know I can not trust you. I would not recommend his services to anyone. If anyone recommends Daniel Dolinger Property Prep to you say NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I can not express it enough NO HICK NO. read more
