Their tagline should be "Express Appliance Service: Dishonest, flakey and unprofessional"
If I could give negative stars, I would.
I was referred to this company by LG to service our washer for a warranty repair. The appointment was scheduled on 9/16 from 9 am - noon. At noon, I called to find out if the technician was coming and was told he would be at my home soon - that was another hour and fifteen minutes later.
The tech, who was extremely difficult to understand, spent about five minutes looking at my washer and concluded that a part needed to be ordered. Upon leaving, he asked to use my restroom. (I get it if you've been working for a few hours, but it had only been a few minutes. Fine, but not professional.) In any case, the tech informed me that the part would be ordered and they would follow up.
Exactly one month later, I called to check the status of my repair. I was surprised that no one bothered to reach out during that time. I was told that the part was on order and would be arriving any day now. The receptionist offered to reschedule the repair for a couple of weeks later, but only had one day and time to offer since they needed to send two techs. I ended up moving another appointment to make this time work.
That date was today, scheduled for noon - 3 pm. I received a missed call at 8:15 am, but no message. I called back to see why they reached out. The manager made notes that he left me voicemail stating that they couldn't do the repair and that I would need to bring my washer into a service center. WTH? Yeah, let me just throw my washer in the back of my car and get on that.
I decided to call LG and learned that EAS had called LG earlier saying that I canceled my appointment to go with a different company. I didn't cancel on them. They canceled on me.
After learning this and adding to all of the other hassles, I actually did ask to work with another company. LG offered to send one of their own techs. Knowing that we needed the new part and to help ensure the appointment wasn't a waste of more time, I asked if the LG tech could get the part from EAS. They apologized and said they couldn't because Express Appliance Service NEVER ORDERED THE PART.
Now, after almost two months, I get to start the process all over again. Ironic considering I've being dealing with a company whose name includes the word express.
UPDATE: I received a call from the manager at EAS. After explaining my entire experience working with them, there was no apology or explanation regarding the part that was never ordered. Instead, I received an excuse on why they couldn't do the repair today (the second tech "couldn't work my appointment into his schedule".) The manager's version is that he called LG to let them know they couldn't do the repair today and to see if someone else could. When LG told him no one else was available, he thought it was best to cancel altogether and have me get the repair done somewhere else.
I'm not sure how anything would have been fixed today without the new part. However, he is correct in that it is best for me to take my business somewhere else. What a joke.
UPDATE #2: The LG rep just left. After taking off the back panel of our washer, he confirmed that the issue was with the bearings. He said the EAS tech likely thought it was the rotary (it wasn't) and would not have been able to figure out the correct issue without looking behind the washer (he didn't). Given that our warranty is up in two weeks and that EAS wasn't even tackling the problem properly, the LG rep said it was probably best EAS didn't help. Bullet. Dodged. read more
