I went with Sage as he was available on short notice. He went through the available irrigation pump / well repair services. He told me that I should get the well diagnosis and to “trust him” that it was worth the $350. I later found out that this money was paying mostly for his expertise and not labor hours. I got very little information about my well, and he flushed out the water. He also forgot to tell me that he charges his $95/hr rate during the diagnosis, so it really cost ~$500 total. He wasn’t able to get my pump primed after his work. He took off some labor costs to give me a break. But he spent a lot of time talking and texting on his phone to family and other customers (>1 hour) while he was here, so it wasn’t much of a discount. He strongly urged me to replace my shallow well pump with a deep well pump. He gave me a ballpark figure to do the work. I asked him for a parts and labor quote so that there wouldn’t be any more financial surprises. He then accused me of digging for the details on the parts so that I could try to do it myself. He must have been overcharging for P&L and got defensive instead of showing me the figures. Needless to say, I didn’t use him. Oh, another company came out and found a bad, $10, seal on the pump, changed it out, and had the system going in no time. I’m so glad that I didn’t replace my entire system like Sage recommended.
