Strong's Appliance Service Ltd

My wife made the mistake of calling this guy to come and "repair" our dryer.

He told her "he could fix it no problem" for $150 and she took him at his word. At no time did he explain how much it would cost if he couldnt fix it.

Of course, when he uncovered the problem-- after fifteen minutes if having me turn the breaker on and off about 20 times-- he found out the part was discontinued and the dryer could not be fixed.

Strange that HE couldn't figure out it was too old of a dryer to find parts for before he showed up at the house, considering the two repairmen I had called previously BOTH warned me not to waste my money on a house call due to the old make and model of the unit.

My wife wasn't so lucky when she called him. Sorry folks, that'll be $80 please.

Naturally, he left the dryer drum and control panel he removed strewn about the bathroom AND refused my wife's request to clean it up and put it back when he was done. He said he would do it for $10, however.

Shady, irresponsible and underhanded. Give this guy a call if that's what you're looking for in a repairman.

I recently contacted Strong's to repair a Kitchen Aid gas stove. He arrived, took a quick inventory of the parts needed and left. Two days later, he called stating that he could not locate the parts, and by the way you owe me $80. When i asked for an invoice to determine and confirm that he actually attempted to locate the parts, he replied that I would just have to take his word that they were unavailable. Upon searching the model # on Kitchen Aid's website, interestingly enough there was a listing of all the parts that were available. Canadian distributor too! This guy made no effort or he doesn't use the internet to locate parts.
