AAmco

AAmco is worthless.  They do shoddy work, will not stand behind their work.  If you have your transmission rebuilt by them, you had better set aside money to have it redone by someone else because you will have to.  And you won't get your money back from them either.  They are a total rip off.

Terminix

I took out the contract with Terminix last spring.  They charged me almost $1200 because there were termites in the neighborhood.  That included and inspection, treatment and 2 years of inspections.  It also guarenteed that if I found termites, then terminix would be responsible for repairing the damage.  Well, I found termites.  I contacted Terminix.  The tech came out, looked at the hole in my sheetrock, said he didn't see any live ones.  I took down half the wall and asked if he saw any now.  Oh, yeah, there they are.  After him standing around and looking at them for about half an hour, I asked if he was going to treat them or not.  His repy, well I guess I could spray them.  Ya think!  This was on Wednesday, December 19, 2012.  On December 21, I again called the local office.  I asked if anyone was going to come out and assess the damage.  I was told that she would pass it on to the proper person but if I did not hear from him that afternoon, then it would be after Christmas.  I did not hear from him them, nor did I hear from him after Christmas.  I fired of an e-mail to their headquarters.  I got a call from a woman telling me she would be out to look at the damage on Jan 9 between 12pm and 2pm.  Nope.  I work from 8-5 m-f.  Well, can't you take off?  Nope.  Can't do that.  Well how about between 5:30 and 6:30 pm?  Ok that is doeable.  She was supposed to show up on Wednesday, January 9.  It was raining and cold and I was not going to get off till 6pm.  I called and told her we would have to reschedule.  Ok, the inspector did not want to do it today because of all the rain.  She would call me back.  Well, it is the 18, on month since this started.  On the 21, I will email the company headquarters and tell them that I am hiring someone to asses the damage and get it repaired and I expect them to pay for it.  If they refuse, I want my money back or I will be seeing a lawyer to sue for breech of contract.  Will not be using Terminix again.

Terminix

I bought a termite package from this company back in March.  I was assured I did not have any termites.  I paid a huge amount for this inspection and treatment.  It came with a guarantee that Terminix would come back and treat again and repair any damages if I found termites.  I did find termites.  They built a condo on my sheetrock.  I called.  They sent someone out.  He looked at the hole in my wall where they had eaten through and said, "I don't see any termites."  So I took down a huge chunk of sheetrock and showed him the termites.  He just kept looking at them.  So I asked aren't you going to treat them?  Yeah, I guess I can.  I'll have to bring the hose through the house.  So I finally got him to treat the termites.  This was on Wednesday, December 19th.  On the 21st, I called the local office.  I told the voice on the phone that I had a contract and the company was to repair any damage.  In a very uninterested voice she told me she would pass that on to so-and-so.  Well, will I hear from him today?  I am off during the week between Christmas and New Years and I would like to get this taken care of.  Her answer," I don't know and if you don't hear from him today, it will be Wednesday after Christmas."  I heard nothing on Wednesday after Christmas.  I heard nothing at all during the week I was off.  Terminix sent me a survey to my email account.  I filled it out and told them exactly what I thought of the company.  Well, I then got a call from supposedly the district office.  She took the information and told me she would get back with me.  Ok, but I won't hold my breath.  Well, she called me at work and wanted to come and inspect the damage on this Wednesday between 12pm and 2 pm.  I work and I can't do that.  Well can't you take of.  Then I lost it.  I pointed out that I had had a week off and wanted to take care of this mess then.  Ok, can she come out between 5:30 and 6:30.  Yeah, I am going to work all day and then put up with strangers trapsing around my house.  Not a happy camper and if they won't do an inspection and repair all the damage, then they are going to refund my money.  At this point, I have no faith in them.

Alka-Selzer Plus

This stuff is great.  I picked up two boxes this morning.  I have had a raging sinus infection for a week.  My throat was so sore I could not swallow. I drank a cup of the Day time Alka-Selzer Plus.  It worked great.  Hopefully, the night time one will let me get some sleep.  Doesn't taste too great, but really works.

Tidy Cats

Tidy Cats kitty litter has a new litter out.  It is called Duel Action odor control.  It has a sick sweet scent and stinks up the whole house.  It is really worse than smelling the dirty kitty litter.  Why mess with a good thing?  I like the original Tidy Cats.  I won't be buying any more of that duel action kitty litter.  My advice, before you buy it, open the container and smell it.  If you like it, more power to you. 

AAmco

I have written AAmco asking that my son's money be reimbursed.  We will see if they are honest.  I doubt it. 

AAmco

If you need transmission work, I would suggest you take your car anywhere but to AAmco.  My son had a transmission rebuilt in his 1994 Chevrolet 2500 Diesel.  He picked it up, drove it out of the lot and got about a half block and the transmission dropped down onto the drive train.  He got it back to AAmco.  They apoligized.  Supposedly fixed it.  He picked it up again a few days later.  He got as far as my house, 3 miles, and the transmission contents just gushed out of the transmission.  They had stripped the plug.  Ok, back to AAmco.  About a week later, he picked it up again.  This time it would drive, but would not shift from 2nd gear.  He took it back.  They then told him it was the torque convertor.  He knew better, but he took it to Chevrolet.  The transmission mechanic told him it was the transmission and it could not be rebuilt.  So then he is trying to to save the money to buy a new one  and at the same time trying to get the money out of AAmco that he paid them.  They wouldn't reimburse because they held that it was the torque converter even though two other transmission mechanics had said otherwise.  Also, he could not even find an attorney here that would even talk to him.  So he finally saved the money to get a new transmission to the tune of $3500.  All in all, this transmission has cost him $6300 with AAMco stealing $2800.  So, like I said, unless you enjoy being screwed, stay away from AAmco.
