1 /5 Bethany Borjas: On June 28, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. I took my lawnmower to be examined by Liberty Small Engine Repair in Hinesville, GA. I verbally at time of drop off and in a written email stated that I only wanted the mower to be diagnosed with the problem and wanted to know what was wrong before I decided if I wanted to invest the money into repairs. I was given and I agreed to an invoice of $35 to check the
compressor. After that the employee said he would CALL ME and let me know what was wrong with the mower. I explained the mower was already old and I didnt want to put a lot of money into repairs so I requested a phone call with an estimate before I consented to repairing it.
After calling twice, at opening business time and again 39 minutes before closing time, on Friday, June 30th, I was told both times it was not looked at yet and would not be until the following week. During both phone calls the employee said he would take a look at the mower and call me back to let me know what the problem was. I did not receive any phone call. Later that same day I wrote an email stating not to touch the mower and I would come pick it up. Went to pick it up on Saturday only to find the business was was closed. Even though, they are listed as open on Google.
On July 3, 2023 Michael replied to my email claiming he fixed it without my consent and that I owed them $116.86. I never received a phone call, email or text informing me of the issues and was never given an estimate. I only agreed upon the $35 charge of checking the compressor. Now Liberty Small Engine Repair refuses to give me back my mower without paying $116.86, that I never agreed to.
I do have documents of phone calls and emails.
My husband, whom is currently deployed, even phoned them to settle the dispute. Micheal told my husband that I was lying and never called them or emailed them.
Micheal then hung up on my husband. Extremely unprofessional and childish.
I strongly encourage people NOT TO USE THIS BUSINESS!! If you have been through what this man illegally did please file a complaint with Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General of Consumer Affairs.
