Ant Banks

I would give 0 stars if possible! Set up a repair on December 2nd to have my dryer looked at, on December 6th the repair technician came out said he knew the issue and would order parts. Come the end of December still no contact from repair company and when reach out I’m told parts are on order. I wait another 2 weeks and reach out and told the same thing “parts are on order” so I give it another 2 weeks and this time I request to cancel my warranty or give me a different company to fix my dryer. Long story-short there are no other companies they contract with and try to reorder parts after 2 months. I ended up cancelling the warranty and working on getting all my money back. This was the 1st attempt to file a claim and would never recommend to anybody in Tucson area.

I would give them a zero if I could. What a complete waste of time. The "service pros" that they hire are completely incompetent or over charge on their service such that the warranty is useless. I had a dishwasher break in October 2024 --it's January and still not working. On multiple calls, I asked them to send a different pro and they refused. Finally, after 4 trips the "pro" sent the ticket to another "service pro" because per AHS they weren't familiar with our brand of dishwasher---but they were when they first came out? We'll see if the other "pro" is able to fix it --he did realize that the first pro had actually put in the wrong part. Now, trying to get the microwave fixed that the first service pro made worse and because past 30 days -they want to charge another service fee, even though I had made multiple calls noting that it wasn't fixed either. I've escalated twice, it's not worth the hassle. They literally do everything they can to avoid honoring the warranty. The interesting part is that if you do a search for reviews, they are hard to find --they have managed to address any search engine from showing the customers reviews and instead highlight the paid reviews which give the company much better rating. All in all, not worth the money to have the plan. Will not renew.

This is my first time dealing with this company. My washer is not working and I called them and they sent a very nice guy out and he said, the control board is not working and he ordered the part and put it on. Yes, I was able to wash the following Saturday but only one load. When I added the second load the washer made a humming noise and all the lights came on and it stopped working. I unplugged it and tried again and the same thing happened. I called and called until finally I got a RUDE guy with a nasty attitude. I asked him why is he so rude and he said I am not rude you called. I went into the elevator and the call was cut. I called back and I spoke with a very NICE lady and she said “ the note says can’t reach customer “ which is a bit fat LIE, because I spoke to someone. I wish I could leave half of a star. POOR customer service I will cancel my order after they resolve my washer. This company is not worth it!!!

Ritchie Vaughan

Very disappointed in this company. First time I called them for an HVAC repair, it turned out they don't cover my repairs, so I paid their guy $550 out of pocket to charge the system. I would rather have found my own HVAC technician because that was way too expensive. Second time I had to call AHS for my fridge, it took their guy 8 days to get to my house. He then showed me the fridge and explained that it's a sealed system that is not meant to be serviced. It took AHS another 72 hours to process his report.... at which point AHS told me that the system was serviceable but was missing a part, so it was outside of my warranty. Then they told me that, for another $45, the part could be installed and the fridge could be fixed. I told them that, yes, of course I want to spend $45 to fix my fridge. They never sent the technician. So I called again, got the same lecture, and was told a technician would come out for $45. Once again, nobody followed up. So I called a third time. This time, AHS told me that I was outside of the warranty, so the HVAC company would not come out and would not install a port... but that I could pay AHS another $100 for a second opinion. At this point, I've been without a fridge for 3 weeks, and it's already been diagnosed as a sealed system that has no port for charging. This is clearly just a scam meant to make me go away so that AHS doesn't have to replace my broken fridge.

AHS American Home Shield aka Frontdoor Name is confusing, isn’t it? But that’s not the only thing… I have been with the Shield for more than 2 years, used the service multiple times and I have some serious comments/information for those who want to know. For all your in-home repairs, the company pulls from their pool of contractors and assigns them to you. You have no choice in the matter. Their selection is based on those firms who have plenty of availability. Who has plenty open slots? Those companies with a low number of appointments. Why do they have few commitments? Because they are not that good, not that professional… and that is the service you end up with - companies with low review ratings. Repair parts are ordered through the AHS system. The parts will be same (or lesser) quality. There is never an upgrade in this process. Especially true for HVAC parts. If you think AHS will replace your entire system, forget it! They will only replace the part that is broken. The parts are ordered and the wait will start…with you in the heat (or in the cold) in the meantime. I just canceled my contract since I could not see the value of it. Since you cannot cancel your contract online you need to call the customer service phone number. This painstaking action took 45 minutes. First you talk to the first line of customer service agent (billing) where the agent will try to keep you as a customer by promising you one month a free service. When not agreeing, the call is transferred to member resolution where you are confronted with same questions and speels. Here I would get two months of free service - go figure. When I finally could get to a cancellation agreement, I was immediately charged a $9.45 cancellation fee. That fee is nowhere mentioned in the contract. Should I sue for that? Of course not. I am just relieved that from now on I will avoid the useless recurring monthly fees. AHS is out the Backdoor…
