I was a given a 2 to 4 hour window for the technician to arrive. After 4 hours, I called a second time only to be told they didn't have a record of my first call. The technician finally showed up 5 hours after the initial call. The quote on the phone for a drain cleaning was $30 service call, $23 for each 15 minutes, with a minimum of 30 minutes ($76 minimum). When the technician arrived on-site, he originally told me it would be $160 plus $23 for each 15 minutes, then dropped it to $130 then dropped it again to $112.50. When I challenged his quote, he told me I must have been mistaken or given an incorrect quote over the phone. This sounds like a bait and switch to me! Keeping me waiting all day (on a Friday) so that if I didn't use their service, I would have to pay weekend or after hour rates.
