appliance repair team

The Appliance Repair team gave me an initial quote for $80 to do a service call. Upon arrival, the technician informed me that to properly diagnose the problem, he would have to open the machine at a cost of $295. I gullibly agreed and signed his form, not realizing at that that this is not a standard charge for repair companies. This is unique to this company.

After diagnoses, he informed me that a part would need to be ordered for $417. He confirmed that after this my machine would be in working order as it is a Blomberg machine. I reluctantly agreed. On August 6, 2024 I paid $482. I looked up the part and saw that it was under $100. He said that the websites were incorrect and that I would never get the part on time to get this repair completed.

On August 20, 2024 the technician came to put in the part. After which he took the final payment of $322.56. He forcibly had me sign a document that said that it was standard protocol that the machine was in working order.
After he left I turned on the dryer and the dryer still does not heat up and clothes do not dry. I've kept the part that he replaced and the part that he removed from my machine was not damaged. He actually put a wrench through it to damage it. The marks of the wrench are on the part.

On August 21st the technician came back and said that I needed to pay more for another part and more repairs and was forcing me to sign a document. I asked him to leave my house. He would not leave and then I told him that I would call the police. He left.
