phelan from Oshawa

Had another company fix dryer, ripped off. Had Appliance Doctor come in, did the repair for less than 1/6 the cost, including the part, which cost less than 1/10 what the other company charged. Courteous, friendly, fast. On the way out, the repairman glanced at the fridge, which i was going to have him come back to repair, but hadn't mentioned. He told me how to fix it, free, and sold me a cleaner for the vacuum for about $20 that took care of the problem. Terrific service.

Tech came and "repaired" dryer belt. Cost $316. It then worked for about 3 seconds when i tried to use it. The tech told us that he had repaired the old belt, if it didn't work call back and they'd install a new belt, with no charge but the cost of the belt, about $40. Called S4A back and was told that a proper repair would cost another $380. Had another company come do the repair, he showed me how the previous "repairman" had deliberately stuck the old belt together with a piece of electricians's tape so it would fail within seconds. Repaired the unit properly, charge $115. Then i found that S4A have 77 active complaints about them with the BBB, using a similar pretense in many cases. Avoid this company like the plague.
