The Truth About 'Free Service' Coupons in Thane Local Classifieds
Published: Apr 28, 2026 by Lourds Editorial Team
Watch out for flyer advertisements offering free servicing. Learn how these bait-and-switch offers lead to bloated repair bills.
Many local pamphlets distributed in Thane West advertise 'Free AC Servicing' or 'AC Wash at ₹99'. While these baited offers look attractive, they are often designed as bait-and-switch scams.
The Bait-and-Switch
Fly-by-night technicians use these low-cost checkups to gain access to your home. Once inside, they will dismantle parts of the AC and claim your compressor capacitor is failing, copper pipes are rusted, or gas is leaking. They will charge you inflated rates for parts and refuse to reassemble the unit until paid.
Fair and Upfront Rates
Professional servicing requires specialized equipment, anti-bacterial sprays, and travel costs. Reliable teams charge fair, transparent service rates (typically ₹600-₹850 for a wet jet wash) with no hidden diagnostic markups. Call Lourds Aircool for honest, upfront pricing.
