“I hired Appliance Surgeon on June 15 to fix a dryer drum that did not spin when running. The technician arrived and completed the work without discussing diagnostic fees, labor rates, or part costs beforehand, only providing the $350.00 price total after the repair was already finished. He then required payment on the spot via Zelle before writing out a handwritten carbon-copy receipt. Exactly 14 days later, the repair failed completely with identical symptoms, and upon inspection, the replacement belt had broken again. When the new belt snapped, it whipped around the inside of the cabinet and damaged the machine's internal wiring. I called to request a refund since their repair failed, but the manager became combative, refused the refund, and abruptly hung up the phone on me. Ultimately, I am out the $350 for a repair that didn't last 2 weeks and I had to replace my dryer entirely due to the damage. The company has not responded to communication attempts. Edit: Company referenced July 1st correspondence was in spam filter. Matter is being discussed via email. Edit 2: Management has formally declined to issue a refund for this failed service. The company maintains that their standard procedures were followed; however, they have been unable to produce any documentation of pre-work authorization or a estimate demonstrating that pricing was disclosed prior to the completion of the repair--relying only on their technicians unsubstantiated and disputed claim of verbal authorization. Because the replacement component failed within 14 days and caused significant electrical damage to the unit's wiring harness, the appliance was rendered a total loss and required complete replacement. Management has denied my refund request leaving the matter unresolved. Recommend avoiding Appliance Surgeon as I have been very dissatisfied with my experience.”
