" My built in oven was not in use past 2 yrs as I use my unit as a staycation during the pandemic.
My new tenant has just moved in and told me that the oven keeps tripping.
It was a Sat morn and the product consumer hotline was closed on weekends.
I googled and found Darren of Mexif with good reviews. I called him to enquire and he was available earliest on Wed. I confirmed with my tenant and watsapp him the details same night at 9pm and he replied me! I also asked if I can just PayNow him on Wed so I need not go over and he replied, Sure!.
He liaised with my tenant and called me after checking the oven and found that it’s the faulty circuit board.
He told me that the new upgraded circuit board is good even if the oven is not in use for a long time and quoted me the price and it comes with a 1 yr warranty.
Later my tenant watsapp me that he has left and the oven is working perfectly. I PayNow him and he sent me the invoice. It’s mutual trust! Nice guy! "

" Darren came over to fix my oven and microwave which were causing a power trip as it they have not been used in a while. He does his work quickly and seems knowledgeable and the service was done quickly. But it is ridiculously overpriced. He charged me $290 for the oven and $390 for the microwave + $50 transport fee, making it $730 in total for a 20 minute job. The same person worked on two appliances so I don’t see why a discount wasn’t offered. You can’t justify $730 for 20 minutes in my opinion. I had asked him for a rough charge over the phone and explained the issue, but he didn’t want to give me one over the phone even though power trip seems to be quite a common problem. The customer has already paid $50 for transport and in desperation, pays the rest to get these appliances to work. They tell you there are two options, one being more expensive than the other and the cheaper option being “just as good” so you go for the second. Truth be told, the second option is still unreasonably overpriced. I can understand paying in the low hundreds, under $500 at the most, for a professional quick fix. But $730 for 20 minutes, come on, that’s daylight robbery. Not justified at all when it’s the same person who fixed both appliances in such a short time. "
