$295 plus tax to fix my fridge by said servicing the control board and defrost the system. He said ice built up jammed the evaporator fan. I agreed (15 mins job) once he opened the board, he said the evaporator fan motor is weak and needs to be replaced. He checked his car and luckily had the tiny fan motor. When asked its cost, he said $175 plus tax, when googled the part, found same motor for $31.00. Tried to explain that it is 500% mark up, called their office, I was told their manager is off for the next 3 days. Me working in investigations/litigation sectors, told them to leave the fridge as is and leave, to not escalate the situation, agreed to pay half of $295. Later felt bad for the tech and offered to pay the full $295 plus tax and $90 plus tax for the part, he agreed. As loyal Canadian citizens and to keep Canada the great place it is, we need to report these companies to higher government control authorities
