Pete Black only wanted to ensure another service call with me. Each service call costs roughly $180.00 whether or not work is done. Here's what happens : the plumber shows up for the first service call and inspects the situation and in my case he installed the two shut off valves that supply my bathtub. Plumber decides that parts need to be ordered. When the parts come in, another service call is made and the plumber decides then that these new parts won't work or that more parts are needed and or his work is not done professionally and he needs to come back and fix a leak for example. Remember, his goal here is to ensure another expensive service call. I sent a check to only cover the first service call. He sued me for payment in full. In full in my case means that he wanted to charge me $180.00 for the second service call. His second service call was simply show up and say, ""nope these parts won't work, I should have taken a better look in determining which parts to have you order."" Magistrate ruled in favor of Mr. Black. Magistrate and Mr. Black were fraternizing during my trial, huh. I appealed and a judge ruled in my favor one hundred percent. Pete Black has over twenty case files in the Livingston County area over the past seven years. Most of Mr. Blacks cases were settled out of court and that is extortion via undue legal process. I certainly would NOT recommend this plumber. Also this plumber was a no call no show for first scheduled appointment and his arrival was late when he did show up. During my initial trial the case immediately before mine was between Pete Black Plumbing and a man with a leaky $850.00 O'ring consisting of six service calls because it kept leaking. This man appealed too and he eventually settle out of court. I spoke with the O'ring guy and it was the same scam. During prep for my appeal I was able to speak with another person that Pete Black had sued and sure enough he tried the same scam on her too. She settle out of court as well.
Cons: Can cause you hypertension.
