bmh Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 yes really honest , they just told my husband who cannot walk the tank wa at 21 percent, I happened to come in at the same time and check the tank a few seconds later and saw it was at 50%.. I do not know qhch man it wa but that was enough to tell me not to trust them. I alwasy trust and check and they sure flunk that test.

TelsZ4 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 It is very hard to find an honest gas guy.. I would not use Los Altoss Jose Romo every time he comes into our complex he rips people off. I buy gas by the peso amount or by the liter. ie I ask for 500 pesos or so many liters.. not sure if this the best way not to get cheated or not....

daisy2013 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Javier is honest. No discrepancy ever. Usually we fill and amount of propane needed always is correct. We call him directly not the office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 O do not know which one of the two from lo Altos lied about the tank but I do not trust people who le about something like that so they are out for me Also told me my husband had call for gaz when we do not use them, they are for ever trolling the street ringng bells tryng to get business lying here and there ...

bmh Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 can you do that from a remote location? My husband cannot go down the stars to see the meter. I have no problem checking the meter and that is how I know they cannot be trusted.. I am a fast learner, you tell me something that is not true once and after that , on to the next person. I have no use for people I cannot trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I use Los Altoss Carlos Grajeda 33 1319 8781. He speaks pretty good english and always does what he says like arriving in an appropriate time. Not that it matters but he is a very nice funny nice person. I don't even know whats up is so I can't help you on that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you call Javier these days you don't necessarily get him. Now what I do is read gage, order specific number of liters, stand around and watch, and check gage afterwards. Getting gas is a pain in the butt here and my new instant hot water unit has cut our use in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 We have used Zeta Gas for 13 years. Get 700 pesos approximately every 6 weeks. We have never had a problem. The same 2 guys have been coming for the last 13 years. I check the tank before filling and after and record that amount. I check the same day once a week to compare consumption amounts. I know our pattern and if it would vary, I would be alerted that there may be a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 The truth is they all have had scammers working for them at one time or another. Even my trusted guy had a "cousin" turn up one day with his own business card with a separate phone number. After 7 years of using them with no issues, I discovered a huge discrepancy after they left. They dutifully came back and topped me up to what I had paid. No explanations, though. So it is the luck of the draw, and we always have to be watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Be aware that mechanical gas level meters, especially old ones can be faulty. We lived with one that required a tap with something metal, it often stuck showing more gas than was actually in the tank. Advice from Oregon Chapala is as usual, absolutely correct. Juan, from Los Altos has been very good to us over the many years. He answers his cell. He can also fill portable tanks at the same time with a special fitting. I don't think he would come out just for small, portable tanks though. Here is a digital one which sends the level to a smartphone app: https://www.amazon.com.mx/El-Gaaas-Levelgas-2-0/dp/B07KCNZ3L6/ref=asc_df_B07KCNZ3L6/?tag=gledskshopmx-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=360361755357&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3905890271802243272&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=20708&hvtargid=pla-789358275008&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier used to work with Zeta Gas at least 12 or so years ago. I stayed with Zeta and deal directly with Chuy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
