New reason not to use Yahoos - spotlight on Los Angeles Treadmill Repair

SCAM ALERT!

Well, actually the reality is this is a spotlight on "Mike" from Los Angeles Treadmill Repair, if that's his real name, he seems to use more than one name in an effort to seem like a company not just a guy pretending to be a treadmill technician.

Which he's not- I've been to more than one call after him and his diagnoses are COMPLETELY wrong- when he doesn't know what the problem is, he will claim it's an expensive part and pretend to be helping you by recommending you don't repair the machine and just buy another one.

The reality is that he's just scamming you out of your money.

His main skills seem to be the ability to build a professional-looking website and the ability to con people into thinking he's a real company even though he NEVER answers his phone.

TRIED to use this place. Have to say the website looks great - very misleading. I am convinced this is a one man operation.....hard to get a callback. The phone goes to voicemail every time i have called. Eventually after 2 wks of back and forth emails got Mike to agree to a time. Stayed home from work just for Mike to call and say he couldn't make it and would email me later that day when he got back to the office to reschedule...here it is a week later and i haven't heard a thing. Maybe this is a p/t side job or dude is independently wealthy bc he sure doesn't want to help out a paying customer with an elliptical. Currently looking for another service option.

Hey Sam, give us a call- we answer by the second ring, and give world class service every step of the way after that.

We're so communicative we even call the day of the service call to give our ETA so you don't have to wait around all day. Oh, and we actually show up. And then actually fix your machine.

Best, Eric
