AmeriGas Rip Off and Bad Service Kent City, Michigan
I
smelled a leak at the tank and asked the man filling the tank to check
it. He told me it couldn't be leaking that it was fairly new and
installed not that long ago. A few years later i demanded a leak check
they charged me $100.00 for the leak test. As soon as the man came and
opened the lid he told me it had a big leak and had been leaking for a
long time. He said he could tell by the fill valve it was all black and
quite thick. He said the person filling the tank should have noticed
the leak. This goes to show that they do not care about the customers
safety I had a 1,000 . gallon tank filled the day before the test and
had paid for it.
He disconnected the tank until they could replace
it. It took them 3 weeks to exchange the tanks they replaced my 1,000
gallon with a 500 gallon tank this was in Dec. I live in Mich. They
told me they would be back in the spring to level the tank and bury the
lines. I have called 4 times they still have not finished the job in
2 yrs. They come out and tuck the lines under the tank. There is about 4 ' of line laying on the ground.
I
have contacted them several times only to be told they would return my
call not once did they return my call until after I contacted the news
media then within 15 min. they called me back. They promised me and the
news station they would make it right wit me they still have not this
why I am writing this.
After they installed the 500 gallon tank they
pumped out the gas from the 1,000 gallon into the 500 gallon tank. The
1000 tank leaked 280 gallons in that 3 week period. Then they
send me a bill for $ 4.29 a gallon and I had already paid for the gas.
I called and their solution was they would reimburse me what I had paid
for earlier $ 2.29 a gallon and then I could pay the $4.29 a gallon. I
told them No that It was an even exchange and that they owed me gas
from their tank leaking for years.
I was going through over 2,000 a
year now about 350 gallons when I contacted them again they just give
me the run around and said they do not understand how I was going
through 2000 + gallons before and now only 350 I told them because
their tank was leaking. They have no intentions of making this right. I
have all the paper work stating it had a large leak etc and am send in
all information to the attorney general. I suggest that if anyone else
has had any problems with amerigas to do the same. It's the only way to
make them be held responsible for their actions.
I have been a customer of amerigas for over 10 yrs. I will be buying my own tank or going with another company I'm not sure yet until I do more investigating. Everyone that has had problems with amerigas needs to file a complaint with the ATTORNEY GENERAL To get anything done about amerigas!
