I gave my laptop IdeaPad S145 to Pretham Computer Solutions in Bangalore. It was a small problem with the circuit. but the technician kept for a day without touching & next day when I called he quoted Rs.4850 to charge the Video card IC circuit, which was never the issue. It wasn’t turning on at all, the power light was blinking though. I denied it and asked him to give it back.
The next day I called him asking what time he will deliver. Later, he said that the part he had removed, if he places it back the motherboard will be destroyed and I won’t be able to repair it anywhere else. He asked me to pay 4500 to get it in working condition. He knows that I won’t be able to go here and there asking for a technician during the lockdown.
In another instance, my friend staying in the opposite flat booked plumper. The person broke the pipe for fixing the leakage, then demanded to pay for a new pipe. He never showed a proper bill charged double the amount than MRP.
