Appliance Tech Repair LLC

Exactly what we are all fear when calling a repair tech. Called to have a GE Profile cooktop ignitor repaired. Was told there is an 80 dollar fee for the service call if parts were required they would be extra. If it took longer than an hour, additional labor could apply. Ok, sounds fair.
The technician came out and gathered the model number and did some quick parts searching stated it would be a $ 500 fix at minimum. The cooktop was an $ 800 cooktop so he recommended against it. 15 minutes and he was gone with a payment for the visit.
I did 2 Internet searches by myself. The GE site listed the repair as «easy» (15 mins with basic skills) sounds like me no skills and a day off. :) I order the parts. ($ 31 dollars) They came with basic instructions, which I I followed and 15 minutes later, fixed.
Very disappointed that there are people that would run their business like this… Shameful
