1.. Too expensive. Service charge (to just show up at door) at least
double that of local appliance repair shops.
2.. Service not timely. Wait time almost one week.
3.. Operator couldn't give me labor charges (per hour).
So I immediately found a local repair shop in the phone book. Spoke with the owner, no less, who could tell me over the phone what the problem was. End result: spending about $120 for repairs. Had I gone with GE, I'd be waiting until next Tuesday for some clown to show up, with the repair costs probably nearing $300.
THANK YOU AND HAVE A STAR GIRL DAY!

I've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need are chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to me about being intelligent. I will think for you, my recruit. Don't forget it, or I'll have your ass for supper!
