ALERT customers, I'm a victim of Boss-Joug Electronic Repair Inc. Can't Post

Boss-Joug Electronic Repair Inc.
1449 Flatbush Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11210-2330

Alert, alert, customers. Short - long story - quick fixer in need of been fixed first.

Joseph, The TV repairman with license No: 814168 is promising me to fix my TV for over a week, we set up an appointment every day and he never shows up and he always has excuses to avoid complying with his duties.

This is Joseph the TVRepairMan on his own words:

1.- 10/5 My Magnavox 52" TV went kaput, it has no image but sound (out of warranty).

2.- 10/9 I called Boss Joug Electronic Repair Brooklyn New York from http://www.tvrepairman.com list.

3.- 10/9 A guy Joseph is ready to take the challenge to fix my TV.

4.- 10/15 at 6:00 pm. We agree to meet in my premises for the diagnostic.

5.- 10/15 8:00 pm he showed up.

6.- 10/15 6:00 pm. His excuse for been late was because he got lost.

7.- 10/15 8:00pm. He visited my place, opened up the TV cover, took out the T module.

8.- 10/15. Date of initial diagnostic.

9.- 10/15 I paid $40 for diagnostic.

10.-10/15 he indicated that the labor will be $100 and $250 for the new T module.

11.-10/16 11:00am date scheduled for reinstalling the new T module in my TV.

12.-10/16 12:00pm he called me to indicate that he will be late.

13.-10/16 1:00pm he called me back to indicate he will not make it due to a mechanical problem in his car.

14.-10/16 2:00pm he called me back and said the transmission of his car is broken.

15.-10/16 he also stated that he has some family issues and is really a problem to finish his job.

16.-10/16 he also indicated that he has the T module but does not have the T module available. (he is a hyper talker).

17.-10/16 he had lots of problems with his dog, wife, car, got lost, his brother...he will do anything to be on time...

18.-10/16 I wasted my all Saturday dealing with Joseph from Boss Joug Electronic Repair Brooklyn New York.

19. 10/16 he indicated me that he will call me back as soon as his car gets fixed he promised he will come to fix my TV.

20.-10/16 he never called me back as a courtesy. (He made me wait for 8Hrs)

21.-10/19 when I called him he stated that he was waiting from my call, he wanted to finish this job.

22.-10/19 I called him and he spoke all the time with more excuses, promised me to come on Wednesday at 6:00.pm. (He made me wait for 4Hrs)

23.-10/20 6:00pm I'm waiting at home, Joseph called me to indicate that he is on his way and late 15.min.

24.-10/20 8:00pm he never showed up or called me.

25.-10/20 9:15pm I called him 2 times and he is not answering my calls. (He made me wait for 4Hrs)

26.-10/21 9:50am I just called him again no answer. His shop P# (718) 434-0340, his partner answered: "he went to pick up his car and will be back in 2 Hrs. and he does not have time for me. I said thank you.

27.-10/21 12:15pm I just called Joseph, as usual I called him but I can’t stop him talking: I tried to go to your place at 8:00pm the taxi wanted to charge me $80 round trip, my car was not ready yet because it needed oil in my transmission and the mechanic had a problem getting oil and was getting late to make the change so I did not take the taxi because I would lose money because the mechanic is charging me $700 and believe me this is the first time ever is happening to me, tomorrow (Friday) morning I'm going to fix your TV... I'll wait till tomorrow. I just want to see how far this guy Joseph will go with his excuses. (I called him, he did all the talk and he said I have another customer, I have to go and he hanged up my call). (He made me wait for 8Hrs.)

28.-10/22 9:55am I called Joseph, I need to know what time he will be coming to fix my TV as he promised, of course that was yesterday. He is not answering my call...

29.-10/22 10:42am I need to work too so I called him again: He said he will do it today he's got the car, the oil is ok, his transmission is ok, he needs the money, he needs to work, his dog is ok and is coming with a helper and will be in my place in 2 minutes...(I got the picture right, he lives in Flatbush and normally will be one hour from his place to my place and he still is in his shop) the 2 minutes is over.

30.-10/22 11:50am the 2min expired so I called him back and his partner answered my call and said: what is your name? …and your telephone number? I said you have it in your phone because you answered with my name damn it, I asked for Joseph and he said he will call me later, also he said if I can leave a message for him.

31.-10/22 1:01pm Joseph just called me he said he is stuck in the highway and can’t do it today, he said he will do it tonight. I said I have been waiting for you all this morning and for the last week and you can’t schedule my time and I have to work tonight. He said he will do it tomorrow Saturday early in the morning. (He made me wait for 8Hrs)
32.-10/23 11:20am Today is Saturday and I have not heard from Joseph yet.
(I’m waiting for 8Hrs as per his request)

33.- 10/23 3:30pm I decided to call Joseph, he does not who I am (I think he is drank or he's got a short circuit in his brain) he can’t articulate anything that I’m saying, and I can’t understand his pronunciation, a woman quickly picked up his phone and she said that they are coming and will be in my place in 45 minutes depending on the traffic conditions, she said she has no control of it. Will see, I think this is getting very creepy with 3 jerks: Joseph his partner and the un-identified woman.

33.- 10/23 5:00pm Boss (Joseph’s partner) and Susan came to install the T module, he installed it and it does not work. Boss does not speak English and (he says is from Haiti) the woman left as soon as they came.
After he installed the T module there is an internal crack in the left center of the screen when he turned on the TV and said I do not know anything. When Joseph did the diagnostic he said straight the T module is busted.
I think I lost my TV, $40 for the diagnostic, 40Hrs of my time at $45 per Hr. and a lot of aggravation.

Son of a gun, he switched my busted T module for a much older and more damaged T module. This is outrageous!

He left my premises causing more damage to the TV than repairing it and without making any comments had the guts to tell me call Joseph.

At this point I’ll not call them anymore and I’ll see what the BBB can do for me

Wish me good luck with this case

JFB

I payed him $40 for the diagnostic and he also has my T module from the TV, he was supposed to come back with the new T module and replace it, never happened.
I need to make this case public that other customers do not get trapped with this kind of disgraceful service
He is protected by the License and he can do whatever unless the authorities can hear my case.
Thank you for your response.

Just a little FYI;....

He is protected by the License and he can do whatever unless the authorities can hear my case.

A license gives him NO protection at all....
A license gives him the privilege of doing bussiness & registers him in that state..
The state can revoke his license with cause....
I've found the BBB to be fairly impotent in matters such as yours...
I would suggest you contact a Consumer Fraud department in your state & file that report you have here....
Also , look at your area's TV stations News reports....
Some channels have a consumer help service (Free) & they broadcast stories & cases they have helped &/or solved...
If he does nothing , they broadcast his name , etc , & the bad publicity can (& did here) put him out of bussiness...
Reporting him there may put a fire under his @$$ & get you results...
My area has one & they are magnificent....
INSIST on getting your $40 & the board returned....
Worth looking into...



GOOD LUCK......Sly......

That is exactly the channel that I need to follow.
One last thing, how do I broadcast this case?. I do not want money from anybody, however this kind of licensed technicians shall be out of business and give the opportunity to the real professionals.
I very much appreciate your suggestion.
Thank you

Ron,
I have the log in my phone (in coming calls and my calls)
I have the receipt that he left with me when he started the work.
Today is Saturday and he has not called me back yet, yesterday he said that he will be in my premises.
Last night I place my complain to BBB because he got upset after I said: When I talk you listen and when you talk I listen. I mentioned above that he is a hyper talker.
I live in Astoria, Queens and his shop is in Flatbush, Brooklyn (USA)

Re: [magnavox2] Help me please [In reply to] Can't Post

magnavox2;....

FYI:....
The BBB is ONLY a rating service....
They can NOT enforce ANY laws OR license violations...
They basically bark at a violator but can NOT bite....
Customers are encouraged to go to the BBB & see what a bussiness rating is & if they have any complaints resolved or unresolved...
Then decide whether or not to do bussiness with them.....
How many times have you done that before you shopped somewhere ???
I already know the answer to that one....
Case closed !!!

Well , when you are ready , lets re-start here....

As soon as you give me the info , I'll give you some possible ways to put this guy out of bussiness or at least get your board & possibly your $40 back......

Re: [Ron.M] Help me please [In reply to] Can't Post

Yes, any technical issues is like a horror movie year round (not only in Hell-o-ween), specially when you deal with the jerks so called EXPERTS like:
1.- Dodge-Chrysler dealer.
2.- Dry cleaners.
3.- Time Warner Cable and...
4.- Boss-Joug Electronic Repair Inc.
My nightmare came true last night: Boss and his mother came to my premises to make sure that his boy is in a safe place and to re-install my busted T module (the boy is a 7'-0", 300lbs. and with no apparent skills to work in the electronic field, I'm 5'-2" and 125lbs).
I was watching him doing the work from the distance and he missed 2 screws and the power cable got stuck in between the base of the TV and the TV, he had to re-do it to get it right. I asked him if that is new T-module, he replied "I don't know, I don't speak English..." ask Joseph.
When he turned on the TV a spot like a shattered glass in the left side next to the frame popped up, when Joseph checked for the first time it wasn’t anything like that, so that is a new addition to my FLAT MAGNAVOX TV 52MF437s/37.
The expert left my place quickly without giving me any explanation…I think the voodoo is working very well on my TV as their wish…
What info do you need?
Thanks
JFB
By the way, the technical support (like Boss-Joug) here in USA is becoming a burden instead of a help, we are going down the drain much faster than I thought...

New York WNBC NBC 04
New York WABC ABC 07
New York WPIX WB 11
New York WNET PBS 13
New York WPXN PAX 31
New York WXTV UNI 41

It may be too late for this since the 300 lb gorilla with his mom came back & put the board in.....
But , the TV is apparently now worse than what it was before he came over...
So you may still have a shot....
Of all the chans you gave me & the ones I looked at , ONLY WABC had a Consumer Help Service.....

Scroll down the left side till you see "7 On Your Side"
Click on it & you get this;=>...
