provider falsely showed there were many transmission service businesses in the area i was looking in, but said i had to "sign up" to see the list. so i signed up and turns out there was only ONE transmission service listed and that was for JAGUAR cars. WHAT A MISSLEADING RIP OFF.

He called me at home and told me he wouldn't touch the job for less than $25,000.00 I told him I needed a quote in writing. In the mean time I called around and received two other quotes. He had a week to get the quote to us before our membership meeting where we had to vote on hiring a contractor. In the mean time we did receive other written quotes before our meeting. We decided on a local person who was going to take care of us. I received his quote 2 days after the meeting. He called me the next Monday and I told him that his quote arrived after our meeting and we hired someone else. He started cussing to me on the phone that we were nothing but liars that we promised him the job. He told me never to call again he would not help us again. I stated that he was paid $150.00 for4 the service and time he put in the job. He laughed and stated that went into his gas tank for coming up to our place 4 times. He was never called 4 times to come to our place. Ifr he came he came on his own accord. Besides a 40 mile trip does not cost 150 dollars. He is on the web stating to call for a no obligation quote. So he is false advertising because he is saying that we owe him $300.00 for his time to make a quote. We did not sign a contract so we refuse to pay him for a quote.
Description of Work: Shut off one burner on boiler to give us Temporary heat. Lasted one day it was a waste of time and money. We asked for a quote for a new boiler, he said he would get back to me. We told him we would be getting other quotes, we are required to get at least 3.

Our company does NOT offer no obligation "quotes". We offer no obligation "inquiries". People really need to read an comprehend what is plainly written.

Provider came to my home to quote installation natural gas pipe and to convert my furnace. He said could probably do the job for about $300.00. After DTE came out and installed the gas line, I called the provider and said I was ready for the pipe installation. He said "I think I quoted you $300.00 and that should cover most of the materials...well ya know after I run the lines inside I'm gonna have to wait around for DTE to come out and hook the meter up and with the permit and the time I'll spend waiting; and then you may run into unplanned expenses...we're looking at about $750.00 and you want a line run for the stove...do ya get what I'm saying" I said "no I don't want a line run to the stove I want a capped off T". He said "oh see there you go changing your mind already... Ya know I'm gonna decline this job". He gave me a verbal quote $300.00. Increased it to $750.00 and then decided he didn't want the job. He wasted my time.

Response from Angies List is a Fraud!!!
An initial estimate quote is just that--an estimate. The estimate was based on the customer's initial call, but after more information was finally forthcoming the job was more extensive than first presented. We pride ourselves on being fair, and we generally do not give free estimates, which this customer was given. We have the right to decline any job as we didn't have a written contract, and from the attitude of this customer, we used our right to discontinue discussion. We've been burned by too many customers who hem and haw, change their minds, and then want more and more for the first quoted price. This person also contacted four other contractors at the same time, so was not left without options. This rating by her is uncalled for, and this venue only serves to allow clueless people slander businesses at their whim.

One can assume the "no" response to hire again was a typo?
