Ars is the most overpriced plumbing company in the area. How is it that another plumbing contractor that is licensed, bonded, and insured can install a garbage disposer that THEY supply for $199 (look around on internet) and ARS charges $327 to install a CUSTOMER SUPPLIED garbage disposer? I mean seriously... How is that? Why does ARS charge $2300 (No, thats not an error) for a water heater? They get the heater from Ferguson for $340, and they have another $175 in parts, AND permits, and the tech. that installs it gets a lousy $50-$75 for the install. O.K. that totals under $600. So why is ARS charging $2300 for a normal 50 gallon gas heater? \r

People should know that ARS is being sued by the Attorney General of Arizona. He wants them banned from ever doing ANY business in the state again. They are being charged with unethical selling tactics and NOT backing their useless warranties. Its true, you can Google ""ARS lawsuit in Arizona"" and read the long list of charges. They teach their technicians how to NOT take NO for an answer, and to use scare tactics if needs be, to get a sale.\r
Mark Atherstone, who is the head training instructor, and whos name is brought up a few times in the Arizona lawsuit, teaches the ARS and YES! plumbing techs how to lie and con customers into a sale. \r
So if you ever need plumbing work done, I recommend calling around first......... Wait, maybe you should call ARS or YES! for your plumbing work, how else is Lance Fernandez going to pay for his brand new Lamborghini?
