I got a call this morning from someone who told me a local appliance company tech. was extremely rude to them, and the customer asked him to leave, and the tech. refused, and the police were called out to remove the tech.

Now this is really extreme, but I have been noticing in the last 10 years or so a pattern of this unacceptable behavior from appliance companies & appliance techs.

We need to put a stop to this, by listing the appliance repair company that does this or who employs a tech. that does this. So others can avoid calling these appliance repair companies for service.

I agree 1oo%, it only takes one bad service tech. or one bad appliance company to give the entire industry a black eye. This business is hard enough without having rude tech's or crooked companies making it harder. I believe more and more people are buying new in lew of a repair because they are affraid of being ripped off,not because of any thing that happened to them but what they've heard happening to someone else. I watched a top refrigeration company go from "king of the hill" to "building for sale" because of dishonest techs. When one person hears of a discourtious or dishonest service tech. they automaticaly assume we all are.

Yes, exactly Rick, I hear of so many complaints from our local residents here of poor service with some of the less reputable appliance repair companies, even when I worked for Sears and Wards, now I'm hearing alot more now that I have my own appliance repair business.

But when I heard the police were called to remove a local tech. from a local appliance repair company here, from a customers home I was in shock, so I decided this would be a good place for people who have had unacceptable appliance techs. come out to let the local people know who NOT to call for appliance repair service.
