He said he could give NO price quotes of any type (including travel to site of repair and diagnosing) until after diagnosing. I had heard this same pricing scheme from a couple of other repair services so I went with it at first. Then I feared he may quote a "mere $3,000.00." Decided to ask him again for more specifics about pricing when he called to say he was on his way to my home to work. If he refused to give more specifics, I was going to cancel on him. He arrived without calling. I asked him. He said that it depended on the job. Let him work anyway. The bacon and hot dogs in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator were frozen. He adjusted the openings of the air vents from the freezer side, of this side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, to the refrigerator side and declined to charge anything. Now I felt bad for him driving all the way out there, being honest, doing a service, and leaving with nothing. Then we agreed on $25.00 to blow out the condensor coils with a CO2 tank and hose. Then he offered to let me have the money back if I was up against hard times. I give him, "Harry" permission to tell you my response.
