ARS Rescue Rooter in Tacoma, WA replaced a toilet and a single handle kitchen faucet with sprayer and 2 stainless steel basket strainers for a senior citizen discount of $ 960.70!! This was represented as a " great deal " by the technician, Dan Carmichael.
Upon checking with 3 other licensed and bonded plumbers in the Tacoma, WA area, they said this was an outrageous rip off, and I should have been charged anywhere in the range of $450 to $700 max! The toilet cost was $135.00 and the kitchen faucet with sprayer cost $49.97 retail price.
The basket strainers cost $11.97 each. (itemized as a $180 fix to replace, and Dan said this was a " 2 for 1 " deal!) An angle stop value selling for $4.99 was itemized as a $100.00 fix because he had to go into my basement and turn off the main water supply to my home and replace, which took all of about 15 minutes!
I talked with David, his supervisor and he said I had the typical case of buyers remorse.
Well, yea Dave, once I found out you overcharged me!!! A general contactor I have been using for various remodel projects also stated that ARS Rescue Rooter has a history of being outrageus, so PLEASE avoid these band of theives!!!
