Alleged coercive refund tactic: offered partial refund for $1,317 incomplete job only if customer changed review — operates unethically per reviewer
“We hired ABC for a shower cartridge replacement and tub clog. We paid 1,317. The service was incomplete and our problem remains unresolved. When we requested a refund, they offered far less than what we paid and tried to coerce us into changing our review to get it.”
Red flag
surprise_fees=2; charged $2,687 for one small pipe section after quoting for multiple pipes; $79 diagnostic fee followed by $1,500+ minimum to begin work

Red flag
Rude phone staff documented: receptionist hung up repeatedly when customer called back; phone escalation impossible
“I called at 5:30 with an emergency repair and the receptionist went over what the emergency fee would be and told me someone would be calling me back and they would send a plumber tonight. I received a call back at 8pm and they said they weren't sending anyone this evening and they had no record of me saying it was an emergency.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Horrible customer service. I called for service and the representative hung up in my face. Not once, but twice.”
“My mother was given an estimate IF the main water had to be shut off by the city, which it did not! He charged her as if it was much more complicated than the actually work he did - to simply replace a valve. The nationwide average for this type of part + labor is $200-300 max! I've asked numerous times for a manager to call me and the invoice to be itemized to justify the inflated price gauging; both of my requests …”
“If I could leave 0 stars I would. Had my AC and heating pump system installed back in December. Ever since it was installed I've had issues. I waited until now to right this review because I was hoping this company would rectify the issues I've had. First the heating pump kept activating the emergency shut off inside of the unit. I kept calling and having people come out - which btw they don't give you a time frame …”

“I met Zay when he came out to check my AC, and he was very polite and professional. He took the time to explain what was going on with the system and informed me about a few things I didn’t know. He even gave me a cool light which was a nice touch. Overall great service — I’ll definitely be reaching out to Super ABC again soon.”
“I have to let Super ABC Plumbing, Air & Heat know what an asset their technician, Chris McNab-601, is to their company! My AC system was not blowing cold air, Chris showed up late afternoon on a Saturday and after a thorough inspection, he found a leak in the system, obviously I had lost the refrigerant. He let me know that he could repair the leak however he did not have enough refrigerant with him in order to …”
