    I called ********* when my refrigerator broke under warranty. They sent out Bill from Fast Appliance. He didn't even check the temperature or have a thermometer. He just stared at it and said the rubber gasket was loose. I questioned him because it was the temperature. Everything in my refrigerator was frozen. Then he decided to replace the entire door because "sometimes" they are defective. That didn't work. Everything in my freezer defrosted. Only then did he decide to check the motherboard. It would not go into service mode and decided it needed to be replaced. He just guessed.They told me they would come out as soon as the part came in because it was an emergency because I had no diabetic meds. When it came, I called and specifically asked them if there was anything I needed to do. They said no. That day, I had a medical emergency and needed to get to the ER since I had no diabetic meds (they were frozen). I called them and told them and asked if they could come out any sooner than 4:30. They said he was not willing to. He eventually called and said he would be at my place in 15 minutes. He then, and only then, told me everything had to be out of the freezer and if it was not, I would need to reschedule. They said to go to the ER and they would schedule for the following week. When I called them, they were not willing to come out for 3 weeks! I was upset and they said they were dropping my job, leaving me with no frig. I told them all along that I tried to find someone else through ********* who knew what they were doing, but they told me there was no one else. Fast Appliance told me numerous times that ********* was lying. ********* said they couldn't find anyone else. I called my own repairman and he told me it was not the motherboard. It was the compressor. I didn't even mention Fast Appliance and they knew who I was talking about because of their reputation. He said ********* knows there is a huge problem with their compressors and this was what it was.

    Absolute scam. Clearly just making money off of “diagnosis”, which consisted of the “tech” coming in our house, asking us what the error code was, him googling that (like we hadn’t thought of that already, duh), and doing nothing else. Literally did not touch the oven. Instead, was on the phone about another matter. Then asked us to pay upfront for a part that may, or may not, have solved the problem, per Google. Told us that it’d be 3-5 days for that part, then we could actually reschedule for the repair. Here’s the deal: we already told them when we scheduled it was an F10 code on a Frigidaire oven with the model number. So…. Why not prepare with the part already in your truck??? Because…. Then you can charge us again for a return visit to “repair” what should have been repaired on the first visit, which we actually thought was going to be done on the first visit. Silly us. Do. Not. Use. And companies need to not certify them either. Complete scam.

    Hello KI. Our technicians travel and do a diagnosis for a flat fee. Once they have confirmed the issue, they ordered any needed parts. We do not warehouse parts. He quotes the labor needed to install the part. That is what is paid on the return trip. There is not an additional trip fee as your review indicates. We are not a scam. 95% of our customer surveys are returned with a 97% or higher rating- 100% being perfect.
