The biggest scammers are the repairman that come to our homes to fix something. Our generator estimates started at 2500 dollars, to someone trying to sell me a new one. I finally found a mechanic who fixed it for 600. Retirees are sitting ducks for price gouging. Compare & get estimates for AC, car, washer or plumbing repairs. Don’t hire the first guy.
