Terrible experience

Booked an appointment to have our microwave looked at. They told me $80 service fee. The repair person came and said it's $290 for them to do any work. Said he would have it fixed for that amount plus parts. I asked the cost of the parts and he said he didn't know, but probably something small and would be included.
20 minutes later he said it was $985+ tax for part and then additional labour charge.
Told him to leave and he would not budge on the price.

They are not honest and I would not recommend anyone ever use them as you can see by all of the terrible reviews.

dishwasher

the tech came to my house and did absolutely nothing and left. i was not home and my wife paid him. i called him on the phone and they quoted me 480$ to do the work and did not want to tell me any details. he told me that he will leave a quote and will be valid for 48hrs and he did not. when i called they said no he did not say any of that. Unfortunately i did not see other reviews before request their service. complete worst service i ever see. pay attention and avoid these guys at any price. complete rude,

Beware of this company

My fridge was not cooling but freezer was working fine.
I called Appliance Repair Team, and they sent the technician. After his investigation, he said the motherboard needs to be replaced, which is going to cost approx. 900 $. After few days, he came back and installed the motherboard. After installation of this part, the fridge didn't work at all, not even freezer which was working before. He said, try start after 2-3 hours.
After 2-3 hours, it didn't start. Then I followed up, and they said over the phone, now I need another part which is 700 $.
I asked this lady over the phone, how the technician is sure it is going to resolve the issue, he was saying different thing when he was here. She says, "you have to trust us and buy the part, you have no option". So basically I paid around 1100 $ to them already and they are not even willing to listen to me. They just want me to buy that part.
Not sure if that is their real business, Beware...the way customer service spoke sounded like she was asking for ransom...her exact words "We already installed part and that is yours", working or not?? Where is the warranty?
BEWARE OF APPLIANCE REPAIR TEAM..

Dryer repair- TERRIBLE

We booked them for a dryer repair - dryer wouldnt stop spinning. He fixed the problem but only gave a 30 day warranty- of course it broke again after 2 months. Called the company about it and booked them to come back but then didnt want to waste our time so called back to cancel they are demanding 80 dollars more for a visit they didnt make. After we already wasted 600 on a dryer repair that didnt work! Make a smart choice and google the company before you book them.

Dont use this company!

About an hour ago I had a technician come to service and fix a clicking sound on the igniter of my range stove. This is my first experience working with this company and so far, the booking and process has seemed very positive. Within a half an hour of investigating he let me know the problem was resolved by soldering a wire. He demonstrated it and it seemed fixed. I gladly paid $280 dollars and he said if in year or so if it happens again I will need to replace the part. After they left, I tried to use the stove and the same exact problem happened so I called and spoke with customer service thinking they would send the technician back to properly fix the problem. She did not offer any solutions other than that is how the program works. Now as a customer I feel like that was a complete waste of money. What did I just spend money on? I can not help but feel I have been had here.

I asked to speak with a manager to which the CSR responded that an email will be there in two minutes. That email never happened. This place should not be in business.

Avoid this company at all costs

DON'T TRUST THIS PLACE
First off, I am a 70-year-old senior, a perfect target for these types. Everything worked other than drum turning and with a simple belt change, I have fixed them myself in the past when I was younger and more agile. So the tech shows up to fix my dryer, with the line you don't have to pay the $90 service call fee that you already agreed to, just to get me in your door, and instead pay me 3 TIMES that amount for the labour that he claimed was required to install a $170 Dryer Repair Kit. $170 Dryer Repair Kit? What even is that? It could be anything. Or nothing at all. I thought the price for I don't know what it was outlandish. The tech sheepishly agreed with me and his responsibility deflection response was regrettably that's just what the company they get their parts from charge. BUT as luck would have it, I have one that fits the year, model and make of your dryer in the trunk of my car!! Imagine that!!. I saw nothing exchanged. It didn't fix anything if it really was something anyway so the $299.60 including tax labour cost to install was wasted too. All in with tax, the bill came to half the original price I paid for the dryer when I bought it new. Over $500 wasted. Insanely too much money for a simple repair I know, but acceptable if the dryer works if I cant afford a new one on my government Old Age pension. But it didn't work. He performed that worthless work on May 29th in a little over an hour. I paid more to him for hours labour than I pay my lawyers for an hours work. At least they do their job. The dryer never worked again after he left, so another service call was booked a few days after the original repair date on June 2nd. Why they were all insistent they were doing me a huge favour not to charge me again for the second trip is beyond me. The guy did get the drum to turn but 9 days later it is not working again. Though the tech never said a word to either my wife or myself about it, he secretly wrote a quote for a new motor for approximately $550 with HST on a piece of paper he left behind to prove he was here. Now I would be spending more than I did for the dryer when I bought it brand new. PLUS at least another $300 for labour. And no guarantee it will even work. How is it this company has not been criminally charged? I usually do a little research first before hiring anyone to do anything but I was so rushed at the time I didn't do that. Companies like this are the reason I do research so as not to be taken advantage of. Now looking, I see everything negative on 6 different reputable review sites, social media sites including a negative BBB report with an ALERT not to do business with them as well as a CTV segment featuring multiple victims and their stories.

Laundry

Over the phone the quoted $80 for the technician to come look at the problem and then that the fee would be waived when the service begins. So the technician arrived and said it would be $320 to START looking at it.... Okay 320 is cheaper than a new machine I thought.. after he proceeded to tell me the water pump needed replacing and it would be $175 for that... After I paid he quickly left and I ran the machine to find that it still was not functioning. Called back to ask for the contractor to return only to be told they couldn't return until 5 days from now

Dryer Repair

Appliance Repair Team advised it would cost $80 to diagnose the problem with our dryer and they would provide ALL THE TOTAL COSTS to repair the dryer before conducting any work. The technician advised the only issue was our rotator needed to be placed back on track and the total cost of the dryer repair including labour would be $285. If we proceed with the repair, then the $80 diagnostic would be waived. The $285 seemed steep, however, we were in need of the dryer and proceeded with the repair.

Shortly after the technician advise the motor belt was broken (we were not present with the technician at this time). The motor belt cost would be $196 which seemed very expensive considering GE and other retailers only charge $50 for the part.

We were disappointed as we were suppose to be provided with the total cost of repair prior to any work being completed so we can make an informed decision. Had we known this total cost upfront as promised, we would have chosen to purchase a new dryer rather then complete the repairs totaling $527.

In discussion with the company's customer service, they would review the excessive cost of the part after the work was completed. In good faith we proceeded with the work and paid the technician. The company afterwards refused to reduce the cost.

Fridge Service

Tech came out assessed the issue and quoted $290 to get the Fridge up and running. I agreed to the service. After the service he indicated that down the road I will require a new compressor 3-6 months as the fridge will most likely fail again.

It was very clearly indicated that the fridge would be up and running with the $290 service of the control boar and cooling system.

Next day, Fridge is as broken as it was before the Tech showed up.

Customer service was of no help. Stay away from this company! Look at all the BBB complaints, something I failed to do.
