My complaint:
I am soooooo furious right now – I booked a fixed price appointment to add 3 outlets. The guy Zeets mobile mechanics showed up at 9 not knowing that I didn’t have parts (I said upfront in the booking that I didn’t have parts)
So he went to buy parts, got a burger, came back an hour and a half later with only half the parts. Left AGAIN to buy the CORRECT parts this time, got a Starbucks. Finally came back to get started at 11:30.
Took his time, worked in a leisurely manner, joking with the other guys onsite, I figured, well, it’s a fixed price job, if he wants to waste time, that’s on him.
He finished and told me I owed him another $275. So much for fixed price. I gave him my credit card, and he billed it $361!!
I am so furious with this bait and switch. Fixed price is a ripoff with these people.
Buyer beware – if I would have understood that I was handing him a blank check I never would have let him work on this job. $1128 for 3 outlets literally 4 feet away from the existing outlets – plus he stole the rest of the $90 roll of wire I bought!!! Unbelievable.
Suggested solution:
Buyer beware. Tell them I do not authorize additional hours Plus watch any of your stuff that isn't nailed down, it will walk away.
