Sold me the wrong washing machine, then kept money from us

I would discourage anyone from using Nimbly Appliance Repair Service. My recent experience with Nimbly has crushed any faith I had in the business.

We called Nimbly in February 2024 for a washing machine repair. Dennis, the owner arrived and after inspecting the washer, advised the cost of repair was not worth it due to the age and condition of the unit. This is understandable and not unexpected.

Dennis offered to sell us a scratch-and-dent washer that was the exact same model, but a different colour. We were not concerned about colour, and it was a good option since it was supposedly the same unit - as we were stacking the appliances and were restricted by the space of the laundry closet. As we are conscious of our spending, scratch-and-dent options are a great fit for us. We purchased it on Feb 4 2024.

After looking at the appliance, which had minor cosmetic damage, and again confirming with Dennis that it was the same unit, we agreed to purchase it. We borrowed a friend's truck and transported it home. However, it turns out it was not the same model, and would not fit in the laundry closet.

After agreeing to take the return, Dennis stated again "I swear it was the same model" but then claimed that I had damaged it in transit. He had no "before" pictures of the unit's condition prior to me transporting it, and we took care of the appliance during transport. He advised he would return the cost of the washing machine less the part required for him to repair it.

There was no admission that he sold me the wrong unit, no apology for the inconvenience caused to me by transporting the unit only to discover it could not be used at my home.

Not only that, Dennis sent me an e-transfer with the incorrect amount and still owes me money. Since February 15th, I have sent 4 polite emails asking for an explanation of the amount e-transferred to me) without response. I have also called 4 times calls - 2 of which were answered by staff who took down my info and would return my call - Dennis was unavailable, and never called me back, even when I was told I would get a response by end of day by two different staff.

Essentially Dennis misled us about the unit he sold to us, and has now kept the money that is owed to us.

Approximate cost of services:
$395.50
