[Resolved]  Ample Technologies — Complaint Regarding Unjustified Charges at Store Visit

Address: Ample Technologies B J Arcade, Site No. 436, 27th Main Road, Sector 1, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka
Website: retail.imagineonline.store/imagine/bengaluru/hsr-layout/imagine-apple-premium-reseller-in-hsr-layout-bengaluru--1f12658b-98f5-476f-9d93-c14f39ec73f5/home

I visited your store today regarding a charging issue with my device. The technician cleaned the dust and confirmed it was working fine, stating that dust accumulation was the only problem.

When I inquired about the service charge, I was shocked to learn that the amount quoted was ₹999 — solely for dust cleaning. I asked again to confirm, and he repeated the same amount. I would have understood this charge if any parts had been replaced, but charging ₹999 for just cleaning dust is completely unacceptable.

To make matters worse, the technician then suggested that I purchase a product from the store, implying that the charge would be waived only if I did so. This felt like a forced and threatening sales tactic, which is highly unprofessional.

I later received an email stating that for any discrepancy, I should contact the store — which prompted me to raise this complaint.

It is disappointing that a reputed company trains its employees to exploit customers over minor issues like dust cleaning — either by overcharging or pressuring them into unnecessary purchases.

I had trusted your brand enough to travel 20 km to visit your store. This kind of experience feels like cheating, and it has severely damaged my confidence in your service.

I request that this matter be investigated and appropriate action be taken.

Hi Team, Thanks for your support. I received a call from Ample Technologies regarding my concern. They listened to my full experience — being asked to either pay ?999 for dust cleaning or purchase a ?599 product instead — and apologized for it. As a resolution, they refunded ?300 and assured me this will not happen again. Thank you to the Consumer Complaints team and Ample Technologies for looking into this.
