I was a Burgesons Customer in the area for many years, and Now I'm a A-Avis big Fan / Customer. No doubt about it. I had great immediate service, and great customer service. My technician within less than a minute fixed my Mothers Heater that Burgesons would not even touch, according to them their was Liability issues? Huh? That Burgesons tech, did not even make an effort to look at the problem, had to call his manager and he even said no don't work on it. Well, back to A-Avis, they fixed my Mothers Heater in less than One Minute, and in the process serviced the Heater by cleaning

Max Ledesma is an amazing representation of your company A-Avis/Service Champions. He made me want to use your company with my future AC/Heating needs. He was polite, knowledgeable and personable. Just overall a very kind person. Will recommend anyone needed service to request this person.

In the past 10 years I have spent over $30k with this company and for the most part very happy with the service. Today it was horrible. We woke up this morning at 0500 and discovered a leak coming into our bedroom on the second floor. Called twice before finally receiving a callback 6 hours later. I had to shut off the water to the house. About 1300 Paul showed up and didn't want to do the work. Said I should call my insurance company. I told him with my deductible it would be better for me to pay out of pocket. I showed him the leak and he said "I guarantee this is where the leak is

I just want to say how pleased I was with first time using A-Avis! I setup a project via Yelp specifically stating I needed my bathtub drain snaked and that no other drains were having any issues. Not only was A-Avis the FIRST to respond, but they were the ONLY plumber that responded without saying, we need to come to your house to give you an estimate on snaking your drain, which is absolute BS. They came at me with sensible price and really it was a no brainer. Now for the visit...
Carlos was awesome! Polite, humble, explained everything he was going to do thoroughly, completely cleaned

This is an update to my prior review. So, due to my last review I was contacted by Gary, the manager director of a Avis Plumbing. He called me and told me that he was very sorry about what happened. He told me that if I bought a new toilet, then they would install it for free. I bought the new toilet, and two days later Jose, was here. He was really nice, knowledgeable, and friendly. The new toilet was installed quickly, and I couldn't be happier. In addition to my updated review, I give A-Avis 5 10 15 20 Stars. Not only did they follow up quickly they were very kind and very nice. That
