"Michael came to install 4 ceiling fans, a Tesla charger, and a new outlet in the bathroom. He gave me a good price. Saying I had to write him a good review. I got busy with personal issues at home. But I knew I might call him again for more work around the house. And I'd write the review later. He quotes me almost triple the price, this time. Saying his prices have changed. And badgering me about how I didn't write the review. He says he's thinking about adhering to the same price as our first job, if I write the review. I write him a nice review.Show it to him. He tells me, I should've written the review two months ago, and he won't change his pricing. So here we are. I don't like people who manipulate for a review."
