Horrible service! We had a problem with our dryer we bought from Costco, they sent a replacement…read morethat only worked on half the settings, so we called up to have a service call made & they were supposed to come on a Friday afternoon, as noone was home in the morning I told him. He calls me at 10 AM asking if I am going to be at home so he can stop in to look at it & I reminded him that he was supposed to come in the afternoon. We ended up having to reschedule & he came on the Monday. We explained what was going on & he acted as if we were inconveniencing him, rolling his eyes at us when we told him what was happening. Very condescending towards us & constantly making excuses. Will NEVER recommend this business!!!!!

Buyer Beware! Warranty vs. Third Party Insurance…read more Hey all, review time for Dave's Appliance and 'Excelsior Guardian Angel Service Plan.' (AKA - Phoenix AMD and AKA - SOS Warranty Services Inc.) In the spring of 2020 my husband and I decided to purchase a high end front loading washing machine. We wanted to support local and decided to purchase from Dave's Appliance in Saint John, NB. For peace of mind we also purchased a 5 year combined total service plan (repair or replace). Actual definition of a warranty: a written guarantee, issued to the purchaser of an article by its manufacturer, promising to repair or replace it if necessary within a specified period of time. Now, just to put things in perspective, we purchased an Air Fryer from Canadian Tire. Eleven months later, it broke. Warranty (replace or repair). The sales representative at Canadian Tire replaced the air fryer and gave out a new 1 year warranty to cover the new air fryer. Car insurance - if you've ever had a claim, they authorize the repair or they give the insured the payout. Two entirely different things. Which does the following sound like? Warranty or third party insurance? We used the machine for approximately 3 1/2 years. Then it broke. We put in for a service call. That went great. Next day service. Repair man said, should be replaced. We tried coordinating with the woman at Dave's Appliance service department. Found she was indifferent, lazy, no follow up to let us know how our claim was progressing. We had to ask for the 1-800 number so we could call the 'warranty' company and see what was what. It gets better! Dave's Appliance sales representative dropped the bomb of full disclosure on us. They (warranty people) are not going to just give you a new washing machine. They'll do a buy out price for what it's worth and that's an in store-credit. HUH???? The 'warranty' people decide what Dave's Appliance will be paid for our defective washing machine. The $ amount becomes our in-store credit that must be spent Dave's Appliance. The sales representative's take it or leave it, this is how it is attitude, was obnoxious! It gets even better! We had also been calling the 'Warranty' people. (They have three names depending on who we called or which receipt we were looking at. We know they all spewed repair or replace. Nope!) First, very different answers in every direction from each person we spoke to. Major red flag! Second, it was finally admitted to us (and I had to drag it out of her), that this was actually third party insurance from a company with no affiliation with any manufacturer of appliances whatsoever. It's like car insurance. They approve an amount for repair or write the appliance off. (In our case, washing machine was 3 1/2 years old but parts not available. Write off. Unbelievable. Plus it took over 3 weeks of back and forth to get a decision.) Third, the warranty people have a signed contract with Dave's Appliance and several other retailers. As per their signed agreement, Dave's Appliance has sole discretion if the credit from our defective washing machine can be transferred to a different retailer. We can't replace out defective washing machine anywhere but Dave's Appliance. It gets better again! Being given no choice, we used our in-store credit to purchase a washing machine for $100 less than our defective machine. Think we got the balance of the insurance payout? Nope! Service gal played with the numbers to cover the cost the delivery. Hinted she did us a favour. Not true! Translated, she grabbed another $60 for team Dave's Appliance! Guess what, it got better! Since they 'replaced' our defective washing machine with an in-store credit, the 5 year warranty we originally purchased is now null and void. We were asked if we wanted to purchase a new 'warranty plan'. I don't think so!!! What an absolute disgraceful scam! We try to support local businesses but we are done with Dave's Appliance and 'Excelsior Guardian Angel Service Plan.' (AKA - Phoenix AMD and AKA - SOS Warranty Services Inc.) Third party insurance masquerading as an appliance warranty. From this review, we hope to get the message out - buyer beware! If a retailer, large or small, tries to sell you an 'extended warranty', ask a lot of questions starting with the obvious - is the warranty company directly affiliated with any appliance manufacturer??? Challenge the retailer to call it what it is, ... warranty affiliated with a manufacturer or third party call centre insurance. And, if they're selling insurance, insist on knowing who gets the buy out money! Regards, Debbie and Ernie P.S. Unfortunately I have to give it a 1 star review minimum, otherwise it would be a 1/2 star rating

I purchased a washer at Dave's about 3 years ago and a plastic gear wore out ($50 part). The…read moretechnician came out and changed it on Nov 16th ($167) A few days ago the same thing happened to the washer as the clothes would not spin the water out. When my husband took out the part today (Feb 23rd), I got him to take a picture and I went in to Dave's Appliance after work. Brenda said she could "fudge the date" for warranty but I had to pay a repairman to install it or I could not get a replacement. That makes no sense. I would be paying more for the repair than the part and I would have to wait days for a repairman to become available. I asked Brenda if this was worth a bad review and she asked me if I was serious. So here is my review. I will be ordering this part online and most likely need to change it every 3 months. I did ask the gentleman in sales if there was an owner I could talk to and he told me that he was not allowed to give out that information and I would have to deal with Brenda. So this 1 star is for you Brenda and to Dave's Appliance for poor customer service and retention. Perhaps the owners - Karen and Grant Nielson should stand behind their online advertisin At Dave's Appliance, we take pride in offering customer service and satisfaction, not just at the point of sale, but with after-sale service as well.

Absolute worst customer service. Called on Monday to see if someone could come out tolook at my…read morestove. They said they could put me in on Tuesday, which is fine. Waited all afternoon for them, Even left work early. I missed their phone call, that they did not leave a voicemail. And instead of trying to call again within a few minutes. They just canceled my appointment. Why would I cancel my appointment? I need my stove to work. I want to cook things again. They told us because we canceled our appointment, (which we absolutely did not) we could try to get in later in the day. No one showed up. The lady on the phone was incredibly rude. I still have a broken stove. Never use this company!

I'm not sure how many people work at this place but the only person I spoke to was completely rude…read moreand incompetent. I had to repeat myself several times and she wouldn't answer my very simple question. She'd ask questions to which I just told her the answer 2 seconds earlier and spoke very condescendingly to me when she was the one unable to give a direct answer to a very simple question.

My dryer was squeaking loudly for several months. I put off repairing it for as long as I could…read moreuntil the squeaking became unbearable, so by the time I was looking for a Pro I was a bit desperate. Luckily ApplianceSOS was able to service my need right away. They had an online contact form on their website which I filled out and they called me almost immediately. They communicated their pricing model, gave me a general idea of what I could realistically expect in terms of a repair, and dispatched a technician. After, they communicated with me via text re: any subsequent updates. The Pro came within a couple of hours and diagnosed the issue pretty much right away. He was somehow able to purchase and replace 2 parts all within an hour. In the end, this costed about $109 in labor and about $50 in parts before taxes. Not exactly cheap, but fair and transparent pricing. Best of all, my dryer is fixed!

We are still waiting on the part for my appliance, but Russ was lovely to deal with. My dog also…read moredidn't try to eat him, so I took this as a good sign! I will definitely call him again if necessary and recommend his business.
