Complaint Review: A-1 Well Drilling & Pump Service

I was taken advantage of because I was with out water for 2 days.He new I was desperate because my wife who has multipple illnesses needs water for elimination.

He wrote down a number of $950. making me think that was going to be the price,so I authorized work to continue.

After work was finished he comes up with a price of $3750.

I found out later the going price for what was done ranged from $950. to $1,275.He charged me 3 times the going price for that service.

I started to read his terms, he said you don't have to worry it's a standard contract. I believed him because he has a very disarming personality. So I signed & found out later, after a friend of mine said "you were ripped off."

I called several other contractors to find out the going rate for the Well service I had.

One contractor laughed when I told him what I paid,he hung up laughing. Please help.
