Patel's Plumbing

I really wish I had read these reviews before I wrote this thief a check. My (useless) Home Warranty company insisted I use their guy to come to the house to evaluate my emergency situation. I explained I couldn't wait that long.....if I didn't want to risk sewage in my basement. Nevertheless, Patel showed up later in the day, after the work had been done, and led me to believe that if he "just wrote me a receipt" it would be covered by warranty/insurance. I had a feeling he was conning me (even questioned him as to why I needed to pay him for doing nothing except writing a receipt), but I stupidly wrote him a check anyway. Well.....needless to say, he obviously knew full well the warranty company wouldn't honor it. Basically, he just wants to con people into paying him $80 service fees to "evaluate" problems he knows full well will not be reimbursed by the insurance companies he contracts with. What a jerk, stealing $80 from a single mom. Cowardly. I plan to file a complaint with BBB as well.

also agree with the other folks on here these people are useless we bought a home waranty for our home and had some leaking going on and they gave us this # to call i was barely able to understand who i believe was the wife maybe and she said she would call me back to confirm a time and never heard back i had to call her back instead i have nothing else nice to say about them but people beware is all i have to say thank god i read all these reviews that you honest people put up because i called these people back and cancled with them before they got me i got them lol

I like Yedan called my home insurance company for a plumber. They sent out Patel's. The first day they scheduled an appointment, they called back late that afternoon and asked to cancel the appointment because the plumber "would be off". It was bad enough they wanted me to wait a day and a half for him to come. When I insisted that I couldn't wait two days for him, they said he would be out at the original scheduled time. \t\n\t\nWhen he came to fix the problem I told him I was having, He told me that he didn't bring the "rodder" to fix the problem. He asked for the service call fee and that he would be back the next morning at 9 am. \t\n\t\nAfter not hearing from him at 11 am the next day, I called their office. After leaving 4-5 messages and 2 hours later, I finally reached someone in their office.. They blamed it on the insurance company and said they would call me back. I never got a call back. I called the insurance company, they never received a call back. \t\n\t\nI had to call and get someone else to come back and fix the problem (and pay another service charge). I am filing a BBB report against them, as well as with the attorney general in IL. \t\n\t\nI would NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!
