What to know
- Ask for the company name and the expected total before work starts.
- Be cautious when the advertised price is dramatically lower than every other quote but becomes much higher after arrival.
- Ask what work is actually required and why. A professional should be able to explain the proposed repair or replacement.
- Keep screenshots or messages showing the quoted price and agreed work.
- If you believe you have been misled, document the transaction and use the relevant consumer-protection or payment-dispute process in your country.
Practical takeaway
The cheapest headline price is not necessarily the cheapest completed job. Clarity before attendance is the best protection.
