Sears
Charged $30 for Repair Estimate on a Lawnmower Pull String

Shops, Products, Services

Check this out & ever buy something from these folks. Well I bought a lawnmower last year and when a few weeks ago the pull string broke on it I called the Sears to get an estimate on cost of repair.

These retards told me that in order for me to get a price that I could:

1. Have a repairman to the house cost 30.00 trip charge, then 30.00 for an estimate - then cost of repair parts and labor.

2. Bring it in to store - 30.00 for estimate plus labor and parts

After I picked up my jaw from the floor I asked if the cost of repair was under 30.00 minus parts of course would this be refunded. & I was told a BIG NO!

I sent an e-mail to customer service about my displeasure and was given the standard chain letter response.

I took the spool of the lawnmower (4 screws) and took it to a local repair shop and was charged $5.47

I am no genius but I think they need to look at their practices. After I got my mower fixed I called once again to sears letting them know how much it cost for repair and they still defended the policy. To that I vowed to never buy anything from Sears again and told them that on the phone and in an e-mail. They didn't care

Last week I bought for my kitchen a new stove, frig, and dishwasher. Not only did I save money (about 150.00 per appliance) but I e-mailed them my receipts with a copy of my previous e-mail of NEVER buying from them again

Hope they listen. But I'm sure they don't care
