I would absolutely not recommend Metroplex AC and Heating. For one thing they weren't able to fix my AC. For another, they are dishonest.
So - I was having AC trouble. I noticed this guy's hours were until 9 PM. It was 8 PM, so I thought I would go ahead and see what they could do.
They said they would be at my house in 40 minutes! Great! This did get delayed by an hour, but whatever, they were still willing to come over at a weird hour so I didn't mind.
They came in, did their thing, the AC turned on, they charged my $179 (check) and left.
10 minutes later, it turned off again. I called and all I said was "Hey, it just turned off again..." and he immediately responded with "You know what, don't worry about it, I'm not going to cash this check, it's clear you have bigger problems and will need a lot of work done to fix it". Well, it really wasn't that much work with the next company, but whatever, he was really nice for offering to not cash the check. I thanked him and said I'd leave a great review. REALLY happy I held off on that.
A day later I checked my bank account and the check had cleared. Oof. I called him, he said his wife had cashed it when he told her not to, he'll send me another check today and I'd get it tomorrow. Not sure why he already knew about this and didn't feel the need to call me, but okay.
The check didn't come the next day. Or the day after that. I call again. He says "Don't worry (I laughed at that) you'll get your check". When we end the conversation he texts me saying he put it in the previous evening. Not what he said he'd do originally but okay.
I get the check today and it's for $104. Figures. I call him and he has the gall to tell me "You know what, I'm going to be honest with you, the guy that came out with me charged me $75 and I'm not going to pay that from my pocket. I could have kept the whole check, I don't owe you anything. This is legal as you wrote me the original check."
We go back and forth like this for a few minutes, me saying sure, it's legal, I would have been fine with you keeping that service call fee because you did come out, but the fact that you lied through omission several times to get to this point is just sad, honestly. Be upfront.
TLDR; He lied on three separate occasions and went back on his word. Was that 'accidental' check cash actually on purpose and he hoped I wouldn't notice? I wouldn't be surprised after the conversation we just had. read more
