Many electricians would have seen the problem, flicked the switch and said call us if you need any electrical work done and tell your neighbors about us. As a good will gesture. No charge.

We were ripped off by Frank Gay. They replaced the tub faucet and it didn’t pass inspection when we went to sell less than one year later - it was as coming away from the wall. They came out and told us we broke it. Nope it was in a shower that no one used. They wanted to charge us over $300 to replace the tub spout part but would wait for us to buy the part and then install it. We threw them out.

Got a handyman to do it for $100 including the part.

Do not use Frank Gay!!

I think their technicians must work on a commission basis. That's why they upsell and overcharge. How long will it take for our local government to shut them down or at least fine the hell out of them? Spread the word to all of your neighbors and friends not to use them.

So to make sure I understand you. It was just you did not know to turn on the wall switch to activate the outlet? That's highway robbery and elder abuse. I will report them to the Better Business Bureau and I would rip them on the Villages Facebook.

Frank Gay bought out Mike Scott and can use his name. There is thousands of water Heaters with Mike Scott as the installer. Do not use Mike Scott, it’s Frank Gay and you can expect a large bill for his work.!

Noooo!! Not Mike Scott! The rest of my thoughts are unprintable…

Again, I believe we should compile a list of trustworthy individuals, companies we have experienced and post this list - any one who puts on the list The Villages Plumber or Frank Gay and the other names the company works under, and other gauging groups, gets disqualified to post because they are not being sincere.

Frank Gay bought out Kiley and Sons. I hope he didn't buy out Mike Scott. Will someone please confirm that he did not also buy out Mike Scott Plumbing!!!

I had a water filter installed by the previous owner. It developed a leak. This is when I found out that the business had been sold. Had Frank Gay's band of thieves fix it to the tune of $300+. I then tried to buy replacement cartridges so I could swap them out at a later date. Sure , the robber said....that'll be $230 for a pair. The filter took two cartridges. I owned an RV at the time that used the same size filter. I had replaced those in the RV yearly, but never paid $115 for a filter. Went home and found the filter cartridges on Amazon as expected. Bought two sets for a bit over $32.

I will NEVER use those people again.

Boy, that would be scary as hell.

Dam, are you sure about that? I was planning on calling Mike Scott to schedule a hot water heater replacement this winter. There is no friggin way I will call them if they are now part of the Frank Gay rip off machine.

Are you sure this is true??? Please post a follow-up confirmation with details of how you know.

In the end it may have turned out to be that, but I think it's a leap for the reviewer to label this business as a Scam based solely on the information they've provided here.

There are probably enough electrical folks around and I have one already with whom I'm comfortable. If I didn't, I would probably avoid Frank Gay based on this, but I'm not certain it's totally fair to them.

There is enough other bad reviews on Frank Gray

[WingedFoot78]

Me, again. Please tell me that Mike Scott didn't sell out to that friggin' thief.

[ByebyeMichigan]

I wouldn’t use this company just because of their ANNOYING radio commercials……..

WE had our water heater replaced by Scott Plumbing late last year. I did check around for pricing etc. Mike Scott was reasonable, and due to our previous work done by them, had them do the job. Very pleased with the tech and $$$. Great job and very pleased.

Then earlier this year our old water softener failed and I got a new Rheem at HD and had them deliver. Called Scott for an estimate and it was OUTRAGEOUS. Shocked. I contacted Dunstin Plumbing (after a review on TOTV). Reasonable and great job. Bottom line IF Gay now owns Mike Scott, THEY would be on the BOTTOM of my list for future plumbing jobs.
