Truly terrible. Egregious price gouging - charged 4x the typical rate for the simplest job (changing the wall outlet - and apparently, it takes TWO people to do this) and claimed that "this is what all electricians are charging these days" (which is completely not true).
Did not provide us with a quote ahead of time - they state they don't do "troubleshooting" and when they showed up, instead of being upfront and transparent, they proceeded to work on the wall outlet AND THEN gave us the cost. Which we then felt obligated to pay because, I mean, are you supposed to haggle with the electrician or...?
Claimed it was our fault that we "didn't inquire" about their prices when we called - yet when we described the electrical issue we were experiencing during the call, they said the estimate would be free - and they could have easily said something along the lines of, "Okay, this sounds like the issue is this [insert issue here]... and this how much we would charge to fix it...[insert $ amount]". But no. They prefer to simply show up and then justify their visit by upcharging you big time.
Our landlady is a senior citizen. When we asked whether they offer senior citizens discounts, they said they do not. However, the story changed later on when they said that they in fact do offer senior citizens discounts but a senior citizen must be present during the time of their visit or be the one submitting payment. Not once did they say during their visit, "We do offer senior citizens discounts! Are there any senior citizens residing at this place?" Not once! They just flat out said "no senior citizens discounts" because they didn't see an elderly person at the time of their visit - and then changed their story.
We ran some comps and came up with an $ amount that we thought was a fair charge for the job in our area - a quote from another electrician backed us up (as well as some online research) that our suggestion was more than fair. MTS was not willing to make things right, gave massive pushback sprinkled with some intimidating legal terminology and accused us of "bullying" them - when all we did was call them out on their excessive price gouging, lack of transparency and extreme upcharge. Their response to our request to lower what they charged us (again, 4x the typical rate)? "What are you crying about, most people pay more than this for cable!" Clearly, that should make us feel better. And my husband is on a fixed disability income - the cost of this service was more than 1/3 of his monthly income. Mind you, it was to change a wall outlet which should have taken 30 minutes tops! But we shouldn't complain because, according to MTS, the majority of their dissatisfied customers would simply say "well, we're not going to use them again", stew silently in disdain after being screwed over, and go away. So we should basically just follow suit. I don't think so.
We regret believing these 5-star Google reviews (which appear to be "fixed") and hiring this company. They did nothing to make things right whatsoever. HORRIBLE customer service. STAY AWAY and maybe ask your friends and family about who they prefer to use for any electrical service before calling this company. read more
