I contacted All Appliance Repair in December 2023 to repair our dryer, which was not working. They came to evaluate the dryer and after just a few minutes (and a $100 charge) the repairman (Mike) informed my wife that we needed 4 new knobs, and indicated that they would order them from GE, and that we would need to pick them up from their shop to avoid an additional charge (although I’m still not sure why they could not have the knobs sent directly to our house). They Indicated to my wife (who was home at the time of the service, but does have some processing issues because of her history of brain cancer) that the cost would be $187.88 for the 4 knobs, and collected immediate payment. When I heard of the cost, I thought it seemed truly ridiculous for 4 PLASTIC knobs and immediately went online and found the exact same compatible knobs for just $14 on Amazon. I ordered the knobs and received them and they worked fine. I called All Appliance and asked them to return the knobs and issue me a refund, which they refused to do, insisting that all purchases were “final”. Seriously? It would cost them nothing to provide reasonable customer service but instead, I got a rude, inconsiderate, and nasty receptionist, who was completely non-accommodating. When I asked to speak with the owner, I was told he was not in, but they passed me onto the service man who performed the service (Mike), who was equally rude, and made a nasty and insensitive comment about my wife’s brain cancer, and then hung up on me. I called back and asked to have the owner to call me back when he got in…and who did ultimately call me back the following day. He (Larry) was a bit more accommodating, agreeing to return the GE knobs and issue me a refund, but only after a 30% restocking fee (Seriously?) and $30 fee to FedEx the knobs back to GE. He likely agreed to this, only because All Appliance clearly made more money ($) on the restocking fee than they would’ve on the markup of the knobs. Clearly this company is ONLY interested in their profits and not at all in customer service. I should’ve read the multiple reviews before using them, but had used the before without an issue. My bad. Buyer beware.
