Our GE refrigerator was making a noise so I call a neighborhood company for repairs. Was told it is $35.00 just to give an estimate and this is waived if they do the repair. The tech comes out and in two seconds knows what it needs and then tells me the cost is to be $375. after a 30% discount. I pay him his $35. and call another neighborhood company to get the estimate of the repair costs and am quoted $250. Then this tech calls me twice in a 15min. window and comes down first to $290. when I tell him I have someone else coming to fix the frig he then says he will meet that price. Why would you want to do business of any kind with someone who runs a company like this. Instead of being honest in the first place instead of a scam of just going out and charging $35. and then giving people an outragous price for the repair.
