Oh no......my ice maker is on the fritz.....no ice. I google appliance repair in Vegas because my old go-to company have disappeared. Sears? Household name.....you can book online. Sounds good right?
Not so fast.
The guy arrives after a phone call to verify what type of ice maker , freestanding or in the fridge. Good guy , clean , polite and capable. On the website they say $70 for estimate.
The guy identifies a bad pump, this is where you have to trust your guy. New pump or can you clean out/fix the old one. What do you think he said?
Obvious .
"New pump and I've got it on the van"
" what a surprise!" .
He then logs into his laptop " $506" says the guy.
WTF?
The pump is $225 plus labor, tax etc!!!!!
What a joke!
So if you want to be completely ripped off by a company, Sears are highly recommended, this is not a dig at the repair guy, he just works for these clowns. The job was quickly completed and I now have ice but my goodness, I think I could have flown to the Arctic circle with a cooler, chipped some ice out of a glacier and flown home for less money. BEWARE.
