Len the Plumber
Ridiculous pricing

I need to get the wax ring for my toilet replaced ($1.95 part cost at Home Depot). I called Len the Plumber and made an appointment. As money is tight I called back to get an estimated price for replacing the wax ring and re-setting the toilet. He skirted around the price issue the whole time we talked stressing the quality of work and comfort of having a large company doing the work. He asked me what I thought it should cost and I said $100-125. He chuckled and said feel free to call us back if you want it done right. I then said..."so, you are not going to give me a price". He said to have a nice day. RUDE The plumber came out and within 5 minutes gave me a price of $255.00... REALLY. He said it was the industry standard and showed me the pricing book. I spoke to 2 other independent plumbers and both said it was a $100 job at best. I went on line and watched a video on how to replace the wax ring and completed the job myself for $5.97 (the cost of a new reinforced wax ring and new closet bolts from Home Depot). My suggestion: call anyone but Len the plumber and if you are up to the challenge view a video or read a book and do the job yourself and save money
