LET THEM TAKE CABS To Lbe Editor: Re: Blais-Greniet's two trips costing more Get everything in writing removed and ask.for a written agreement tbat no repairs will be made *itbout your consent. You should also as k the service persan to com- mit to a completion date. Slow service, sloppy work and unexpected charges are some o! the most common problems consumers bave with appliance repair com- panies, Allan says. "'You can protect yourself to some extent by asking a lot of questions and getting everything in writing," she says. "But tbe Most important thing is ta find a reputable corn- pany by getting recom- mendations from retailers, manufac- turers and friends. Also cbeck up on specific companies witb tbe Bet- ter Business Bureau." It is illegal for a com-, pany to make un- necessary repairs. if you feel you bave been disbonestly or unfairly treated by the repair shop, contact a local Consumer Services Bureau of MCCR. The Bureau can act as a mediator in disputes over repaira. Dissatisfied con- sumers are also welcome ta complain ta CEASA, says Wbite. The assocation will bring your problem ta the attention of upper management at the company involved. he "The purpose of tbis association is ta im- prove the quality of ser- vice in the marketplace and Lo improve tbe image of tbe industry among consumers,'" be says. CEASA bas publisbed two brochures offering consumer advice on handling appliance break downs and listing brand names associated witb specific manufac- turers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. For free copies, write ta CEASA, P.O. Box 157, Don Milîs, Ont. M3C 2S2. To obtain a complaint form, caîl tbe association at (416) 447- 2511.
