    Lost my mixer, had to take them to Small Claims Court

    I would never recommend them. If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I took a mixer in to have a worm screw replaced. I got a mixer back 3 weeks later, but another month later discovered that they gave me some else's mixer as my accessories/bowl didn't fit the unit. When I asked them about this, they somehow had lost my original mixer. They never found my original mixer as there was no way for them to track down where it had gone, as they didn't log the serial number into their database. They thought that replacing it with another mixer would be sufficient, but that mixer was made up of a variety of other mixer parts, mislabelled to appear more powerful than it actually was, and furthermore missing the attachment hub, requiring further repairs. That being said, I had to take them to court to pay for a brand-new mixer to replace the one I originally brought to them, and even then they were very slow to react - it took over 3 months for them to finally pay me. I will never deal with Repaircare, Quick Fix Appliances, or their parent company Paramount Home Services, ever again.

    Answer from pro:

    The customer is absolutely right in that we did give him back the wrong mixer. The mixer he got was in the original state that we received it (mixer was made up of a variety of other mixer parts, it was mislabeled which the customer assumes that we mislabeled it to appear more powerful than it actually was and the mixer was missing the attachment hub which was why it was in for repairs. We accidentally gave the customer a mixer that had not been repaired yet. In our attempt to rectify this error we offered the customer what we thought was a fair compensation. We offered him the difference of what we quoted him for the repair of his broken mixer (which he agreed on) and the cost of purchasing a new mixer. He was not satisfied with that as he wanted us to pay for a brand new mixer and was not going to settle for anything less. He was not willing to compromise in any way and said he would take us to court if we did not buy him a new mixer. He was totally unreasonable. The court awarded the customer the same compensation we offered him before he went to court. It did not take us 3 months to pay him back. The whole process of trying to work out a reasonable solution, the customer realizing that we were not going to be bullied into meeting his demands and then him going to court and then receiving payment took about 3 months.

    Service

    We would not recommend this company to anyone. They didn't do what they promised they would do on their initial call. It is better to deal with a service person directly who can do the work, and describe what work and parts they will need.

    Answer from pro:

    When a request for service is being discussed it is our policy to provide full disclosure for the costs for repair at all times. We offer a flat fee for repair which is disclosed at time of booking and that parts are additional and will be quoted on site. As we cannot make a diagnosis over the phone to know whether a part is required or not. We received the call saying that we did not quote that parts were additional. To resolve the dispute we offered to play back the recording to make sure that we did provide full disclosure to the client. I told her it was our policy to give full disclosure and that we would pull up the recording if she like. She kept insisting that she was not told that parts were additional. Again we offered to pull up the recording and she said "no thank you" and that" I am going to post a bad review" and hung up. The customer was unwilling to listen to the recording which would have easily clarified that we did in fact provide full disclosure to our pricing. It is unreasonable of the customer to expect a diagnosis over the phone and for us to describe the work and parts that would be needed without looking at the issue and Instead of resolving the matter diplomatically the customer preferred to bash our company instead.

    Great service and repair

    Our washing machine was ripping our clothes. Our technician was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He fixed the program within 1 hour. I would recommend this company and I would use them again.

    Washing Machine

    My 27 yr. old Maytag washing machine was not draining properly and I was imagining I would probably have to start looking for a new washing machine. Called Newtech to set up an appointment and within a couple of hours Paul, one of the technicians called to say he could come the next day. Paul arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem as being a worn out belt. He ordered the part right away and arranged to come back the next day. He arrived early next day with the factory certified part, installed the belts, tested the machine a few times and I had my washing machine back up and running. I was very pleased with the service provided by Newtech and the professionalism and skill shown by Paul. I would recommend this company to family and friends.

    Repair Care was quick to respond to my request for service and had a technician out within 24 hours. It was necessary to order a part. I requested a rush. The part was here in 3 business days and the technician came the following day.
