Appliance Repair Team Inc.

I hired this company to diagnose my washing machine after it started making a noise in the spin cycle.
They were very quick to call me and arrange a day and time that their technician could come out and assess the machine. The charge would be $80 plus hst and he would give me an estimate. If I were to get the machine fixed the service charge would be waived.
The tech arrived on time and I showed him to the machine, gave him a synopsis of what the problem was. He did not want to listen to the video that I took exposing the problem instead, he said he would run the spin cycle and listen first hand.
I went to my kitchen and 4 or 5 minutes later he called me back. The machine had been pulled out about 12” and he didn’t run the spin cycle. He told me that he could open up the machine, clean it up and see what the problem was, the cost would be $280 plus hst. He didn’t open the machine, didn’t so much as remove a screw.
The $80 service charge is simply a con so that they can get into your house and try to squeeze more money out of you. You will get nothing for this $90.40 except the feeling that you have just been conned. The $280 is the charge they should be selling but, we all know that they would get no business if this was advertised.
This was the first time that my wife or I had hired anyone without reading reviews, quite shameful considering I myself have a 99% rating on this site with 245 reviews.
Avoid this company at all costs!
