Report
This company does not stand behind their work, they don't call you back when they say they will. They are very expensive! Over 300$ just to come out. Very poor customer service. And if you look below at they poor reviews the owner doesn't respond. but to his friend Brian he sure did because it was a five star review. just not a good company to do business with.

Report
Called and kindly asked if they are hiring and if I was calling the right location or extension. Guy was very rude and short with his answers no help at all. I probably wasn't talking to the right person to begin with but who ever answered the phone was very rude glad they're not hiring by the way they answer the phone not a company I would wanna work for

Report
Came to repair a 7 year old commercial fridge. Upon looking at the unit they said the cost of repairs would be OVER $1000. I said I was going to buy a new one because I already replaced the compressor last year which costs $1,000. The tech said ok and charged me $445 for JUST the diagnosis. Took the tech less than 45 minutes. Way overpriced just to tell me that. I will not use them again.

Report
I wanted a price to install an ice maker I had bought used. I wanted to afford these guys the opportunity to take a look at what we were asking them to do and come take a look at what the situation and equipment was. They sent a guy out, who reviewed what we had, and sent me a price that was more then double the next price we got (which was from a very reputable company). Then they charged me almost $300 for them to take a look at what we had before they gave me an estimate. Be wary of these people. I would look elsewhere.
