Curtis is the person to go to for old fashion quality and service. He diagnosed a leak behind the machine that I thought was from the machine, but was from a clogged drain.

No service was done.
Description of Work: I called and was given some good advice about my dishwasher. I ended up getting a new dishwasher because the one I had wasn't worth the cost of getting it serviced. It really was a piece of junk. Really. I appreciated the honesty of the serviceman.

It went well. Please read above.
Description of Work: I contacted Curtis and he advised me over the telephone of my options for repairing my microwave. While he didn't service it due to the repair cost, he did provide very valuable information in order for me to make an educated decision. I ended up purchasing a new microwave as the repair costs would have been about the same. I will definitely call upon Curtis for his services in the future when needed, and refer him to other friends due to his honesty and punctuality in returning my telephone call.

Excellent service and will call Curtis again when the need arises. I would recommend his service to others. His service call price was fair.
Description of Work: Curtis looked over the dryer and I decided to replace the machine instead of put money into fixing it. He also serviced my oven that was having problems as well while he was here. My appliances are now in good working order. However, I did go ahead and purchase a new Whirlpool dryer, not a crummy GE, like the one that was falling apart when we opened it up.

Great!
Description of Work: We called Curtis today to ask him about connecting our new dryer. He told us he did not do that, however, told us the type of person we needed to do the job. We used Curtis a few years ago and he was great. He is honest and we are very happy that we got his second opinion for a repair on a gas dryer. He was much less than person #1 and also told us we didn't need a few things repaired that person #1 told us we needed to have done.

I didn't actually use Curtis. I called and he responded promptly, informing me that he wasn't a good fit for the service I was looking for. He pointed me in the right direction and provided great context to what I was trying to do. I appreciated the help and that he took the time to walk me through my request. Great professionalism and customer service.

Left a message on Curtis' office answering machine which he returned a few hours later. After describing my problem and reviewing some of the sounds and symptons he warned me that it sounded like the sealed coolant system/compressor was malfunctioning. If that was the case the cost of repair wasn't going to be worth it and I'd need to buy a new refrigerator. He wouldn't know for sure unless he saw it but wanted me to know that I might be wasting $60, his service call fee, to have me hear the same thing he just told me on the phone. Since the refrigerator is only 7 years old I felt I'd take a chance and have Curtis look at it anyway. My lucky day, it turned out to be a relay that controls the compressor and an easy fix. The complete job took about 20 minutes. Curtis mentioned he'd been repairing appliances for 27 years. He certainly knows his appliances. I'd heard about Curtis from my neighbor. I'd use him again.
Description of Work: Repaired a 7 year old Kenmore Elite double door refrigerator with bottom freezer that had stopped providing any cold air.

Great. I've been using Curtis Crater since I moved here 4 years ago and he is great. He knows his stuff, he is prompt to call me back when I call, quick to get out to perform whatever repair I need. He explains things to me and answers any questions I have. I trust him, he is honest and very reliable.
