Do It Yourself Home Repair

You were paying him for his knowledge, which was crucial in the repair. Thinking about it that way always helps me.

It is an appliance help forum: www.repair2000.com RE: Do It Yourself Home Repair Post By Ronsan (Guest Post) (04/04/2005) My personal experience in this area tells me you are so right on! My dryer, all of a sudden, started making the worst thumping noise you can imagine and I checked what I could, but found nothing so called the repairman. He was in my house not one second more than 5 minutes and charged me $45. What did he do? Took the front off my dryer, found my husband's carpentry pencil careeing off the drum as it turned, and removed it. I could have cried I was so angry as this is the guy who put in all of our appliances and services them. His home is less than 1/2 mile from here. I don't expect people to work for nothing, but when it is that trivial and you are a pre-existing customer, I guess I would have thought customer service would have been more important. In my business, I always go the extra mile or two for my customers ~ I guess he missed that class.
