Report
The secretary sounded confused when I called (after she finally picked up). I said hello twice and she genuinely sounded liked she didn't understand why she was getting a call? She didn't even say the name of the company and I had to confirm I had even called A3 plumbing after 30 awkward seconds on the phone (legitimately thought I'd called someone cell phone by the way she answered). I mentioned that we haven't had water in 2 days and she swiftly told me they have too many clients right now and didn't want to bother putting me on the wait list. Told me to just "keep calling back" I realize you

I have been dealing with this company since we moved to Nelson 19 years ago. Their service has always been outstanding, reliable & reasonable. We now live in Salmo, still use A3 & the service is remarkable, even when dealing with older systems. Thank you A3 Plumbing.

Asked a3 to fix our frozen water line. Thought they would take a look and give us a number for the work but after two hours said they had no idea how to fix the problem and gave us a $480 bill. We had another company review the issue, give us real advice and a price for $90. A-3 is a joke. When I complained they sent my bill to collections. No justification or negotiating. Sent my bill to collections for $480 for unfinished two hours work in town. Thought plumber rate was $85 per hour but if they charge $140 a hour for town work don't be surprised
