A & B Malibu Plumbing, Heating & Electrical

These guys have are a very experienced SCAM operation going. Yes they know Plumbing and they will use that against you.

Typical Scenario: One or two guys show up....cannot fix it because of some good sounding reason...need to go back to the office and/or speak to their boss to determine how to fix your plumbing problem (If you situation is urgent expect everything to slow down at this point, they are just softening you up for the big $$$ scam repair coming next since you are now desperate). Then the boss/Closer might call you back to tell you the bad news and some outrageous amount for the repair. He will be very good at gaining your trust and speaking to you like he is on your side. He is not.

If you are a Senior or Elderly they will definitely try to scare you as much as possible about your plumbing problem and then delay fixing it so that you will stress out and then finally pay whatever they ask.

Again these guys are highly competent plumbers that have decided to become criminal and scam you out of as much money as possible.

If this happens to you please contact the Sheriffs station in Malibu to file a complaint and also contact the California Contractors license Board.

We have used A & B for plumbing &
electrical issues for many years.
They always show up on time, assess
& fix the problem as quickly as possible,
spend time on the phone beforehand to
understand what will be involved so
they can show up prepared. The work
is professional, and they are kind. I am
completely comfortable recommending
A & B without reservation.

why Yelp don't have 0 stars or -5 starts, GUADALUPE VALDIVIA CASILLAS how this guy has a license to operate A&B plumbing? unreal, we ask them to come to our property in Malibu
they never perform the job they took the credit card up front charged for a job never performed never issued receipt or invoice and fake our signature, we got the same job done in fraction of the price he said he will do the job, he did not even show up, this is modern mafia

Liars and more lies. There was a clog or stoppage . I asked them to snake the drain they refused. They insisted on it being a septic pumping that was causing this. They charged several hundred dollars and left. 30 min later I called and spoke to Lupe and said it is no difference I told you I needed the drain to be snaked. He said no it needs to be pumped again. And pay again.
I told him to send someone back out and snake the drain lupe insisted on pumping which it never needed pumping from the beginning . After demanding to get someone back out there I called the regular plumber in malibu to see if he could please break away from what he was doing to snake the drain. He said ok. A&B and the malibu plumber showed up at the same time . The A&B guy was insisting on pumping a dry septic tank again and charging again. The Malibu plumber said NO that was ridiculous that is not the problem the drain needs to be snaked. So the Malibu plumber snaked the drain and it worked. A& B wanted to charge me for coming back out when he never fixed anything from the beginning LUPE IS A LIAR . ITS A SCAM BUSINESS. ITS TERRIBLE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY. ITS A SMALL TOWN AND EVERYONE TALKS .
BEWARE THEY WILL MAKE YOU THINK YOU HAVE PROBLEMS YOU DONT EVEN HAVE. Call A RELIABLE LOCAL PLUMBER
IN MALIBU AND DONT LET A&B COME NEAR YOUR HOME.

STAY AWAY! I repeat STAY AWAY! I should have written this review sooner. I called A&B plumbing and told them about the problem I was having in my house, and asked that they come to our home for a repair. They showed up, told us that we had a leak, and left! They charged us $75 and didn't fix a thing, they claim the $75 was to diagnose the problem, and that we would need another appointment to actually fix the problem. We had to call another plumber to come and actually do the work to fix the leak.

Big mistake contacting these guys. Called on a Monday to have a plumber look at two issues. Was given a 1-3pm window when they would arrive. 330pm I get a call asking if I still wanted a plumber that day. I told A&B I need a plumber that day no matter what time they show. 630pm and still nobody shows so I call back but by then everyone went home. No communications whatsoever. Tuesday morning I called and A&B wants to know if I still want a plumber. I said yes. 5 minutes later I get a call from the plumber who doesn't want to enter an empty house. I told him we would no longer require his services. Horrible communications. More concerned with how they are getting paid.

Had my Septic Tank pumped and Milton came out, same day and did a great job and reasonably priced. They also snaked my main line to the house. They saved us from having a house ruined by sewage! Will use them again.

One star is even too much for this establishment. They are liars and scam artist. When questioned why they need payment before the work is completed, they bully and threaten to leave the job without completing it. Unscrupulous and dishonest. DO NOT use them under any circumstances!
