yup, and thats only if they will actually sell you the parts. Hope you got
the correct parts, because electrical parts are non-returnable, and anything
that is not installed by their tech has no warranty.
Gotta love it when somebody comes in here, doesn't give any *USEFULL*
information about the system with the problem then expects us to have xray
vision/clairvoyance to be able to know what make/model/serial number,
installation configuration, and service/repair history. Then they get their
panties in a wad when they don't get the answer they wanted..... how to fix
it for free and without having to call somebody that actually knows what
their doing.
FWIW, I got 6 calls this morning from folks that had broken systems (not 1
was one of my regular customers). Their systems have been broken on the
average of a week or more. They expect me to drop everything, and come
running on SUNDAY MORNING to fix it because now they figure its "an
emergency".
They get pissed because I have the audacity to charge for OVERTIME for
Sunday callouts and repairs.
None of them wanted to wait until tomorrow morning, none of them have called
back to schedule an appointment. I expect that I will get a call or 2 in the
morning where they want me to come right then to fix their junk. Sorry, I am
booked out until Thursday, but they could have scheduled for Monday, the
FIRST time they called.
