Unprofessional and Rude
March 10 marked 3 weeks since my dishwasher had been broken. I called Mr Appliance to come out and diagnose the fix. It turned out it was a repair that needed a new part. Over the 3 weeks I called the maker of my appliance and Mr Appliance 3x, going back and forth. Every time I called Mr Appliance, I was told something different (we submitted the paperwork and are waiting to hear from the company authorizing your repair but they would order the part so it was on hand, then, we resubmitted everything they wanted and they have approved the warranty, then I couldn't even reach them by phone). The third time, when I couldn't reach them by phone, I was on the phone with the manufacturer. The manufacturer also could not reach them. The manufacturer gave me a code authorizing the repair, due to the inconvenience I had been experiencing. I called Mr Appliance and *finally* got through to someone. I was told they did not have the part on hand (which I'd been told earlier that they did) and would have to talk to someone else in the office, and that they'd call me back by the end of the business day. I made an appointment for the following morning, via their website, for the repair. Two days passed. I did not get a phone call, and I did not get an email. I received a call from Mr Appliance two days later to schedule service for my repair. I patiently asked to be referred to a supervisor, since I wanted to leave a complaint, and had never spoken to the person who called, and did not feel they deserved my ire. I was connected with the supervisor, Jane. I explained calmly that I had to move on with a different company due to an inability to contact Mr Appliance, and that I would like my diagnostic fee back due to the inconvenience I had experienced due to Mr Appliance's negligence in correctly filling out paperwork. The supervisor was condescending ("I'm sure you can understand we can't just do repairs for free, can't you?") and extremely rude. While she did apologize for downed phone lines, on the day I couldn’t reach them, making it hard to contact Mr Appliance (I got through only that one time), she refused to apologize for anything else. She also tried to guilt me, saying she thought she was doing me a favor and that she was doing "a good thing" by ordering the part immediately for us, while she was working from home. This falls flat on its face considering I'd been told the part was already on hand, and that this was during *normal business hours.* This is absolutely unprofessional. A business should not guilt its clients, insisting they are doing them a favor by *doing their job.* She insisted that my narration of my experience had not happened ("I was in the office when the girls called you, and they didn't say that") and that she had called several times and left me voicemails (she has not, neither I nor my partner have any record on contact) and that they had communicated with me to cancel the appointment that I made (they did not). She used a raised voice to speak with me, frequently interrupted me, and kept insisting that unfortunately we were at an impasse and just couldn't understand each other. The latter insistence is preposterous. I am a customer whose appliance has been out of service for weeks, not a friend with whom a disagreement is being had. I continued to insist that interrupting your customer, gaslighting them, and speaking condescendingly to them in a raised voice is not a professional course of action. The supervisor then snapped "fine, I'll send you your hundred dollars." And proceeded to hang up the phone on me. I have given Mr Appliance a grace period of two weeks in which to refund me the cost of my diagnostic fee, and have not received it. So I am now posting this review. While I had a positive and speedy repair with Mr Appliance in December of 2022, and would have recommended them then (as I chose to go with them for this repair), I would absolutely caution anyone against working with them. It was a horrible experience and I am badly shaken. I am also out money that my family sorely needs.
