I called because I had a $25 off magnet coupon and my garbage disposal was leaking. I asked for a price quote over the phone but they wouldn't give me one, even though they only have 2 types of garbage disposals. I thought that was a bit odd but, I figured, well I am sure the prices are probably pretty comparable to other places and so had them come that day to install a new one. There was a $43 upfront fee, which is fine, and then the serviceman told me their least expensive garbage disposal was $509.00,,and that was after the $25 coupon was applied. I thought, wow,,,that sounds really expensive, but I am a single gal and don't really know garbage disposal! I thought maybe at the most I would be paying $350? So i agreed because I was already tied in to the $43 fee and like I said before, figured it must be at least pretty comparable to other businesses. I researched this exact disposal online while the tech was putting it in and found one for retail at $90. After I had paid,and the tech had gone, I called Bode Plumbing and asked for a quote for the exact same disposal, which they kindly gave to me. They would have charge only $300 to replace and install the exact same garbage disposal!! Wow!!,,,,I was more than disappointed and learned a very hard lesson that if a service place will not give you a quote over the phone, do NOT assume they have decent prices, even if you do have a $25 off coupon!! I could understand a price increase of maybe $75 more...but $209.00??? DON'T buy your garbage disposal from here,,,it is an outrageous price!!! Mickie McConkey
