That Yelp reviewer was right about the HVAC guy in Decatur, wish I listened
Three weeks ago I ignored a 1-star review warning about a $2,300 quote being a scam to upsell a new unit, called them anyway, and now my compressor is dead after they "fixed" the refrigerant leak, has anyone else dealt with these bait-and-switch repair shops around Smyrna?
and honestly that sounds exactly like what happened to me over in Marietta last summer. I got the same runaround, they found a "massive leak" and quoted me $2,800 for a whole new system when all I needed was a $40 valve. I let them do the "repair" anyway and my unit froze up two days later. The worst part is they charge you for the diagnostic fee AND the fake part they didn't even put in, so you're out $150 before they even touch anything. I called a different company out and they showed me the old part still sitting in there, they literally just sprayed some dye and called it a day.
