VERY BADLY. See above
Description of Work: Bought the Big Deal.Spoke to Keith , explained I had bought the $39 Plumbing Service Call Plus $125 Credit Toward Repairs. Told him I had a kitchen faucet to be installed, and that I didn't need any repairs, just the plumbing service. Set a date, took off work to be there, met the plumber who proceeded to tell me it would be $319 less $125 per the coupon. After me saying no, the coupon is for $39 which I already paid, he says the $39 is just to get him out there, then the charge is whatever the service is less $125.I told him to leave. This is a bait and switch which I thought Angie's List was supposed to help me avoid. Very disappointed in the entire misadventure. For one thing, it's obvious the charge was inflated to cover the $125 that was listed as a discount on the coupon. Whoever heard of $319 to install a kitchen faucet? For another, I'm to think he gets $39 to drive to work? I don't get paid to drive to work. So the plumber leaves and two minutes later I get a call from "Keith" who proceeds to belligerently tell me that he never sees any of the $39, Angie's List keeps that and how do I think he can make any money by coming out and installing a faucet for $39? Short answer Keith...you never intended to install a faucet for $39, you intended to scam me for $194.00. If you don't want to do a service, don't advertise it, talk to the customer about it and then get mad when the customer is not interested in paying you $194 more. At any rate, I got my $39 back from Angie's List after filing a complaint with them, but no explanation, no apology...nothing... just the money. Oh well, better that than nothing. I wasn't going to post this after thinking about it, that maybe I had just misunderstood. Then I got another "Big Deal" from Keith the Plumber...same thing, same wording. So I figured that since he and I had the tense conversation, he KNOWS his offer is being misunderstood and still runs it anyway, well then he's intending for the upsell to work once the guy is in your home. Scam. 7/2/15 So today I see your response to my review. To clarify: 1. Nowhere in the coupon does it say the $39 is for nothing except to get the plumber to the house. 2. I spoke to you personally and told you I had the coupon, and the plumbing service I wanted for the $39 was to replace a kitchen faucet. 3. There were NO additional repairs needed beyond replacing the faucet, NONE, NOT ONE. 4. After my experience with you...and your ridiculous quote of $319, the work was done by a licensed, bonded and insured plumber for $95. That's $95...total...no more, no trip charge to get him to the house, no extra repairs, nothing but the $95 to replace the faucet. A job that took him 42 minutes start to finish. 5. You reached out to me all right, but it was not to tell me you were sorry for the confusion. It was to attempt to chastise me for not being willing to be taken for a financial ride...FAIL!
