DU legal eagles. I need advice. I live in Vegas and my recent AC comprssoer... [View all]

installaton has failed after less than six months. I called a new AC as I wasn't going back to the same guy who ntalled the one that just failed. In Vegas AC is a must.

The new guy quoted me a much lovwer price to I feel I got ripped off.

Shoould I call the old guy and ask what kind of guarantee he stands behind and aks him to fix it? Or should I tell him I' going to contact a lawyer, maybe go on Yelp and lodge a negative complain on his business?

Help. What should I do.

Well, you can post a BBB report on the firm, but my big bit of advice is to just move on. Sure, you got ripped off, but SWBTATTReg Jul 20 #3

You have to give the original installer the opportunity to fix it under warranty, assuming there is one. MichMan Jul 20 #4
