I was charged $320 for shower washers to be replaced. The moment the plumber pulled in the drive he hit "arrive" on his GPS and stated charging at almost $50 per 15 minutes before he had even checked he was at the right address or contacted tenant. This is on top of a $70 callout... before GST. Arrival time was to be between 4pm and 7pm. The tenant had just gone over the road and it took 20mins before the plumber rang her, charging the whole time. She was home in 8 minutes after being contacted so when the plumber walked in the door the bill was already over $170. My tenant informed me when the plumber left which was less than 30 minutes later. Almost 10 minutes later the plumber rang me to tell me work was completed and he was about to stop charging. I said "You left 10 minutes ago". He replied "Yeah, but I'm still in the driveway".
KEEP CLEAR OF THESE PEOPLE.
