On 4/12 I called Anytime Plumbing (free estimate) because the shower faucet was leaking. They came out on 4/13 at 9:00 & this is the conversation: "You have a Moen brand & It needs a cartridge in the valve. If I have to go thru the wall to the outside, it will cost $1,300, but I can rebuild it for only $259.00." "And how long will that take?" "About an hour." "So that's $259.00 an hour then." "Well, we pay for the part." "And how much is the part?" "About $80.00." "GET OUTTA HERE!"
I then called Home Depot's plumbing dept. & explained the above. I was told this: "Oh, jeez, you don't need a plumber for this! Get your handyman; it'll take him 20 minutes. You can get the $20 or $40 Moen part." So I called John our handyman who said he'd do the job for a total of $60-- which he came to do after picking up the part. He spent 15 minutes fixing it & explained: "I spent too much time at Home Depot looking for the Moen part because the
plumber was wrong-- it's made by PFISTER."
This company has a serious problem & should be reported to the right entity. Not only are they highway robbers, but can't even figure out who made the part?!
