Gary was in the area and came to our house to look at the problem. He did some preliminary tests and told us that he never did any service on the ice maker of this particular refrigerator model Sears Elite 51773. He recommended another company. There was no charge for his visit. We highly recommend his professionalism and his fairness (no charge). Thank you Gary!

Gary was great. He called me right back after I left a message on a Friday evening. Tried to get me in that Saturday, but our schedules didn't line up. Showed up on Monday, was very efficient and had the needed part on hand. I was very happy with his work.

It went well. Learned how long our freezer should last (~20 yes); it cools through surface of “skin” so we shouldn’t lean things against the sides or pile things on top; what we needed was a new mother board.
Description of Work: Check to see why freezer stopped being cold & if it was worth fixing. Gary came out within 1/2 day & was cordial & shared info about the freezer. Part needed to be ordered & was installed the next day.

Gary came to our house right when he said he would. After taking a quick look at our fridge he explained what the problem was, how he was going to fix it and how much it was going to cost. While he was working he explained what he was doing and gave some tips on how to make our refrigerator last longer. He was also kind to my preschool daughter, who wanted to help 🙂 Gary was quick, efficient, professional and experienced. We’re very happy we called him.
Description of Work: Our refrigerator was leaking water all over the floor. We called Gary on a Wednesday afternoon and he was able to come by the next morning.

When I first called General Refrigeration Services, the time for service was estimated to be in a day or two. That was fine, as my problem was not an emergency. But later that day, Gary called and said that he could actually come today if that was convenient. He was prompt, friendly, did a great job, and explained what he did. He actually fixed a couple of issues that he discovered while he was there. His pricing was very fair. I would be happy to hire Gary again, and give him a strong recommendation.
Description of Work: I needed repairs on my refrigerator with a broken shelf bracket, and the door gasket.

I called Gary, who was referred by another repairman who couldn't come out right away. My refrigerator had stopped working over the weekend when I was away from home. I called Gary at about 7:30 in the morning. He came out within the hour and fixed the refrigerator. I was SO relieved, as I had thought I might need a new refrigerator. His rate was reasonable and he was very professional and pleasant.
Description of Work: Gary repaired my refrigerator after it stopped working. He put in a new starter and it worked right away.

I called in the morning and Gary came by a couple hours later. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly. He had the part so was able to fix it same day, rather than having to order the part and wait. I have a Whirlpool side by side and is about 18 years old, first time I've had a problem. I have been thinking about remodeling and this would have been a good time to buy a new fridge rather than repairing. But did not have time to research and decide what I wanted so just went ahead with the repair. He was in/out in around half an hour. Not sure how much the part was, but the total amount paid seemed like a lot for just a half hour of work. Amount paid did a include a small Angies list discount. I guess I can't complain since he came by same day, gave excellent service and now the fridge is up and running.
Description of Work: Refrigerator not working. Motor was not running.

Since he had seen this problem before and had it resolve itself, his suggestion was to give it some time to correct itself. If it doesn't he will order the part and replace it.
