Ari Appliance Repair

Called Ari to repair a washing machine. A techinician came and said it needed a new computer.

About a week later they show up Nd replace the computer, and the machine still doesnt work. A second technician comes and decides the machine needs a sensor replaced. A week later someone shows up to replace the sensor and finds out they have the wring part. They claim to put a rush on the replacement part but it has now been another three days and they have no clue when they will get it.

Meanwhile they charged in advance for everything.

I have now asked them to put back the original broken part and forget the whole thing, and to credit everything they charged. They keep saying "yes" to everything and then do whatever they want because your money in advance.

DO NOT CALL ARI FOR ANY APPLIANCE REPAIR.

Appointment scheduled from 11-1 timeframe. Called to say it will be closer to 2:00.

Showed up at 3:00 and did not have the proper leads for troubleshooting a electrical problem. I borrowed him my leads. Spent one hour and told me it is hard to troubleshoot problem and says that the part he needed to replace may not fix it. $500 plus for a hood that cost $899.

Spoke to Mike the supervisor and he stated "I'll talk to him" wasted money. Not going to spend $500 when they are not sure it will fix it.

Disappointing at the very least. Unfortunately the reviews seem to correctly reflect their business.

Worst ever appliance repair experience ever!! Called to get a repair on our washing machine.

They charged a $95 fee to diagnose the problem. The gentleman (Chad) that arrived spent just a few minutes pressing buttons and then indicated that the parts will cost $477, including the diagnostic fee. They had to order the parts, so we had to pay all of the cost up-front. They said that it would take 3-5 days.

After 5 days, we called and after another day, they indicated that it would be another 5 days. They never call, we have to keep calling them.

They still have not fixed the washing machine after 2 weeks. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

We paid $89.95 to have Chad Garner come out on 5/3 spend 7 minutes looking @ our fridge. He did hardly anything, but he sure was able to quote me $384.95 to fix our fridge. We were not ready to spend almost $400, we decided to get a 2nd opinion. We had another company come in and they fixed it for $110 total! Telling us that everything Chad told us was incorrect except that we needed to defrost our freezer!

Never never never never never never call these guys!

How about sending me my check for $89.95 back!

I searched online for a repair company to fix my washer. The ARI Appliance Repair website stated they were fairly priced.

I called and they agreed to come out for an $89 fee, which would be applied to the work needed.

They showed up on time, looked at the washer and then gave me the staggering news of $431.95 to fix it. What???? This washer was purchased in 2004. I was surprised it would cost this much to fix.

So I called Sears. The part to fix this washer is only $56.45.

Can anyone explain to me how a company that is going to fix a $56.45 part, that doesn't take that long to fix apparently, as confirmed by Sears, could charge $431.95?

Sears would charge $319 for a service agreement which would includes all parts and labor up to $500 and also would provide a year warranty on the washer for ANYTHING that needed fixing, up to $500 per visit.

I am bummed that I got suckered into believing that there are refutable companies out there that will fairly do business.

Never again... next time I'll wait patiently for Sears so I don't get ripped off.
