      Today, August 24, 2023, Jenks Well Service came out to check and see why my water wasnt working after a power outage. They claimed that the pump and check valve were bad and quoted $3500 to fix it. They charged $200 for this visit. I had a friend come over and look at it. They primed it, and everything is now working fine. This company wanted to charge me A. for the visit ($200) and B. $3500 to fix a problem that didnt exist. They completely tried to take advantage of my lack of knowledge and charged me to do so. I would not recommend this company.
