BEWARE
Unreliable / Disreputable Teds repair service & appliance of Torrington, CT on 391 Migeon AVE.!! Check them out under Better Business Bureau rated a BIG FAT "F"@!! They say there coming back to finish the job and never show up, will not answer the phone or when they (owner Vickey Lafountain)do; lies to you that they are coming or hangs up on you?!
On June 30, 2015, the owner & her son came out to put a new fuse in my electric clothes dryer & unhooked the vent from the back of the dryer; inserted my leaf blower into the tubing as to blow all the lint out. I'm starting to write the check out for service, when the owner's son (Tom) notices my Thule 4-Bike Hitch rack and asks if we can do an even trade for services? I thought strange but actually was delighted because that meant I didn't have to take out the $200.00 from July's mortgage, as a single mother of two children and no child support my budget is tight to say the least. No sooner did they pull out of my driveway, when I went to turn the dryer on and it's not HOT? Immediately I called & texted them as their Business phone (860) 482-7354 is a cell phone.
July 1, 2015 (they don't return phone calls) I had to call & spoke to owner Vickey that my dryer was not working...she stated she had order another fuse and that they would be out to replace the fuse & take down all venting to clean the piping thoroughly per Vickey an hour job=on July 3rd Friday at 5pm. My son waited for Teds repair to come for over 2 hours; 1st NO SHOW! NO COURTISY CALL AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING!!
July 6, 2015 I called & asked why they didn't call or show up per the owner Vickey, she had no answer for me??? She re-scheduled for them both to come out on July 8th.
They finally showed up on July 8th, replaced the fuse & told my son that Tom (owner's son) was leaving dryer unhooked for 2 days???? For us to call back within 2 days to see how dryer ran, and if it was running ok they come back out again to clean vents & hook up didn't have time that day?! WHAT??!!
July 10th called spoke to owner Vickey, she stated they'd be out July 15th @3pm to take down all venting to clean the piping thoroughly & hookup dryer up to the venting; only an hour job. I gave her my son's cell phone # & asked her if there are any issues call him. WELL.....on July 15th my son waited another 2 hours!!! 2nd NO SHOW!! NO COURTISY CALL AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING!!
July 16th I texted & called back Teds repair service & appliance spoke to owner Vickey again. Asked her why they can't even have the common decency to call...gave excess "one of them was sick". RE-scheduled for July 17 at 10am. 3rd NO SHOW!! NO COURTISY CALL AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING!! Sent a text @2:33pm saying her son Tom never showed up? Called business line 860-482-7354 (which is a cell phone) left voice mail to please return my call, left my home, work & cell phone #'s. NO CALLS EVER ACKNOWLEGED OR RETURNED EVER!!!!!!
July 20th, 2015 I called owner Vickey Advised I was not happy with the 3rd no show....I gave her my Thule 4-Bike Hitch rack as payment for their services & that the job needed to be completed. She scheduled next appointment for July 22, 2015 at 4:45pm.
July 22 4th NO SHOW!! NO COURTISY CALL AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING!! OF course I left a voice mail message on machine to please, please return my call. NEVER HEARD BACK!!
NOT AT ALL BUSINESS -SAVVY TO SAY THE LEAST & SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TREAT THEIR COSTOMERS THIS WAY!!
They had my $500.00 Thule 4-Bike Hitch rack as payment for their services & I had two fuses put in that totaled $40.00!!?? How is that fair? SCAMMING ME ALL THE WAY!
Next I called NBC CONNECTICUT'S TROUBLESHOOTERS and spoke with AJ Walker. I advised AJ of what was transpiring all of the FOUR NO SHOWs and NO RETURN PHONECALLS OR ANSWERS TO MY TEXTS.
AJ walker from NBC contacted Vickey & arraigned for them to come out to complete the service on July 29, 2015 @ 4:45PM, in which the arrangement was for them to have 2 men come for the service appointment in order to clean the venting & hook machine back up. They never showed!!
I phoned Vickey @5:20pm to ask where they were? She responded I know I told AJ Walker we were coming but, now we are NOT! THIS WAS NOW THE 5TH NO SHOW!!
On July 30, 2015 AJ Walker of NBC CONNECTICUT'S TROUBLESHOOTERS went to Teds repair service & appliance of Torrington, CT on 391 Migeon Ave to speak/interview with TV camera rolling to the owner Vickey as to why they did not show. Then AJ Walker & her camera crew came to my residence to shoot an interview.
They already have an "F" rating with better business bureau, but consumer's need to be aware of the crooks! THEY NEVER FINISHED THE JOB!!! read more
