I called this company on a referral from my appliance store where I bought my microwave. First the woman who owns the business suggested that I go to a certain website and order the part she believes is the problem(had a problem prior to this with a button for the door). I went to the site decided that I wasn't the one to order and fix it. I called her back and asked for an appointment. It took over 3 weeks for someone to come out. The young guy showed up at my door unexpectedly (no call which I had asked for and he said she never told him)with his GIRLFRIEND! I was apprehensive at first but had them come in. He didn't even know how to get out of the cubby it was in nor did he know how to open the back of the microwave, I had to show him. He tested it and then I told him that we had a problem with this button for the door and that his boss told me to order it and replace it myself. He was astonished! He told me that if I had tried to fix this myself and even though it was unplugged I could have gotten electrocuted or killed. He said it stores enough power after being unplugged to do that. I was very irate. He couldn't fix it and gave me a bill for $85.00. I then called his boss after speaking to my insurance company for her to give me a letter explaining the problem and it is irrepairable. Oh she would send it right out. After going back and forth with her, not returning my calls, nor answering my voice messages I had to turn to the appliance company in Tawas to see what they could do. This went on for 4 months! Finally they gave up trying and sent me a letter and it was taken care of. To say the least Advanced Appliances will not give out referrals nor give them a good recommendation from this appliance store any more.
Description of Work: The company came to my home and inspected my microwave expecting it to be a problem the owner said it was. Opened up the back of it, looked at it, and put a tester on it for power, which I knew it didn't have and he didn't even know how to open the back up. And he wrote up a bill.

Response from Advanced Appliance Repair LLC
first of all when (removed member name) called in she stated that she new what was exactly wrong said it was the door switch and did not want to pay a service call. so she was told to purchase the part her self if she wanted, which she then did so then called for us to come out and install, when tech went out he installed switch which did not fix the problem tech then checked out microwave and found out that main control board was bad . she then wanted us to write up an invoice stating that she had a power surge so she could turn into her insurance, she was told at that time we could not prove that and that would be insurance fraud and we would not do this. it funny that the tech didn't know how to open the back of her microwave but she did, but yet she didn't know the capacitor could hold power and kill her, also the appliance store she says she called and states that they would never refer us anymore is false we do all there warranty work and still do at this day may 2015
