Want a ripoff? Call Southwest.
Friday, March 13, 2009
Its hard to understand how these guys sleep at night. In my case, I needed the main sewer line snaked ... it cost me roughly 200$ (from a different company a few years back) that charged by the hour. I then thought, I may as well call southwest since they bid the job upfront. After requesting a bid, they came up with a 900$ proposal, including a bunch of services I didn't want or need.
I negotiated to a reasonable price of 250$ which I needed to find a coupon to get.
Bottom line, I knew beforehand what I wanted to have done, and an expected price. What I got was a couple of untrustworthy dudes trying to rip me off.
