Exorbitant prices for motion sensor replacement. Technician was in and out in less than 5 minutes to replace my motion sensor (labour $77) and charged me $210 for the cheap plastic sensor that I found out later could be bought online for less than $100. On top of that there was a "minimum fee and/or travel" charge of $128.50 and HST of $54.20. Grand total for approximately 5 min of service was $469.52. Wow.....what a money grab. When I booked the appointment over the phone, was told that "it shouldn't cost more than around $200" as it is a simple job to replace the sensor. They never give you a firm quotation, even after the guy has finished the job. He doesn't know how much it is, and then you get a whopping bill in the mail later. I can't even switch monitoring companies because Chubb has their equipment locked so nobody else can access it.
