I was in a pickle with my Electric Oven, couldn't get it to work and was convinced it would need replacing.
Rick came out at 7.50pm. He fixed it in ten minutes and refused payment. I would recommend Rick and give him five stars for his honest and wonderful service. I won't hesitate to use him again
