They were good. They did a good job. I think my appliances was just shot, but they did a nice job. It was a recurring problem, I don't think that they completely fixed it, but they gave good service while they were there.
Description of Work: They tried to clean and tune my dishwasher to see if it would work better than it did.

Mike the repairman showed me exactly what was wrong and explained the issue clearly. He repaired the machine by replacing the part and even returned the same day with the part when he thought it would take two or three days to get it.
Description of Work: Washing machine was making noises. Turned out it was a faulty gear system.

Not good I feel they were ripping me off. They wanted $170.00 for a $51.00 part.. then when I told them I'd order the part they went from $130 for service call to $190.00. I will now call Sears to diagnose and fix the problem and pay again.
Description of Work: Dishwasher was making a grinding noise and smelled like an electrical fire. They Diagnosed problem incorrectly said it was the pump, I order a pump, they wanted me to pay 3 x's the costs for the part.. 2nd visit the original part was working, miracle.... they reset my electrical outlet and it worked. Put in original part but didn't fix the problem.. and left. Wanted $190.00 for not diagnosing or fixing problem.. I pay $130.00.. Dishwasher still makes the noise the guy couldn't figure out why

My refrigerator was no longer cooling, so I called American West Appliance because I used them in the past. The receptionist asked clear questions about my refrigerator, explained the cost to come out to take a look. The technician was prompt and respectful. He checked the fridge and said that it was the starter relay. In less than an hour my refrigerator was back in service. Price was very fair for his job.

Then we called Helen from "American West Appliance Repair" then Mike came to repair, he did something and said if it doesn't work he needs to replace valve. he will charge me $140 more. as soon as he left, it started overflowing, so i called him and he again said he is going to charge me 140$, and he said that's business, this is not his problem, its my problem. I said if you would had fixed first time we won't have this issue. he said he cannot guaranty on parts they go bad, so i will charge for labor which is $140.00. "Please do not use him".

I called and was able to get a repairman out within a few hours. (Fred) He determined the motherboard was not working and therefore the compressor was not getting power. He left and returned with a motherboard within half an hour. Then he said the power was getting through but the invertor to the compressor was not working. He had to order the invertor and would call me the next day to schedule the install. He said he wouldn't charge any more labor at this point. The next day he came back and got the job done. He even looked at my dryer at no extra charge and gave me tips on more efficient drying. He was very friendly and did what he could to keep the cost down for me. I would recommend this company and I would use them again.

Mike came out to check our stove. He was on time and friendly. He seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy. He quickly diagnosed the problem with spark module, had the replacement part on his truck and fixed our stove right away. He was very careful with our marble counter and cleaned everything afterwards.

Phenomenal response time and to be able to diagnose and repair in such a short time is just way above expectations. The technician's many years of experience were obvious. He was very knowledgeable of my appliance and gave some tips how to maintain it in the future. The entire experience was great from start to finish.
Description of Work: Our Kenmore dryer stopped heating. We called American West Appliance Repair at 10am on Tuesday and we were told that the repairman would be onsite by 1pm. He was knocking at our door before noon and had the dryer running by 12.15pm.

We've had good luck with American West in the past, but this time was not a positive experience. We will not use these people again.
Description of Work: We had a problem with a bad refrigerator computer card. They came out and replaced it, but that didn't fix the problem. They came out again and put the old card back in, tweaked the card and that fixed the problem, for now. When I called for a refund on the card, they refused.

When I called this business they made an appointment for someone to come out the very next day. The serviceman was on time. He was professional, honest and informative throughout. He fixed the machine in a short time and charged me fairly, giving me the Angie's List discount. I recommend this service and would not hesitate to have them back again.

We called American West Appliance Repair on a Friday afternoon after find them through Angie's List and was pleasantly surprised to hear that they could be at our house within 30 minutes. About 20 minutes later he arrived and was able to determine why our washing machine wasn't draining within a few minutes (unfortunately, it wasn't a clog). He had a new pump on his truck and provided me with updates on his progress and showed me what broke on the old part and offered for me to watch him install the brand new part. The entire repair was completed in an hour and he tested the machine twice and cleaned up any water before he left. I will definitely use them for any future repairs and highly recommend their work.

I received a telephone call today, and was told that the parts were ordered, but incorrect ones were sent to them by Viking. Those parts, I was told, were sent back and correct ones were reordered. When the correct parts were not received by this vendor, they quoted that Viking told them that the parts were on further back order, but this was all too much of a problem for them to deal with, and that they had decided they wanted to only refund my money since it was a hassle. I then called my real estate agent to update him, and I learned that he had been contacted by this business before I had. They told him a different story, stating that Viking didn't make the parts anymore, and they could not complete the work. ( These appliances are less than 5 years old). This is an incredibly unprofessional organization that has shown that they are unwilling to do the work they are hired to do. They lie to customers. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY REASON!
Description of Work: I contacted this business to do repairs on a Viking Refrigerator and a Viking stove on a home I was selling. They came out, investigated, quoted repairs, and stated that the parts may take some time. The home sold and closed, and the new owners were aware that the repairs would take place after they moved in. My real estate agent agreed to coordinate the repairs after the closing.

$864

Response from American West Appliance Repair
The required parts are not available, they are factory back order items, the date of shipping is uncertain. We could not keep your $864 deposit indefinitely. You have forgotten to mention that we had refunded full amount back into your credit card on file. Your real estate agent did not have patience to listen to our explanation, he started to yell immediately after we called him. There is only one explanation - Viking factory does not have the required parts and we can not fix appliances without spare parts. Age of appliance does not matter. Many parts are discontinued by manufactures after 5 years. Viking and Whirlpool are among many others. Best regards, Bob.

Steve the repairman was clean and professional and showed up within the 3 hour time frame. Explained everything in detail and showed me the possible source of the problem and why it created the noise, which was ice around the fan. He did say we should keep an eye on it over the next few weeks to make sure there is not another source of the leak and to call again if we notice water buildup in the freezer or leaking from the ice maker. He did do a number of tests and water seems to be going where it is supposed to, so hopefully that will be the end of it. The noise is gone. Overall, I was very pleased with his service and professionalism. Will call them again if the problem re-occurs.
Description of Work: Frigidaire / Electrolux refrigerator was very noisy and leaking some water from cold water / ice dispenser. Ice inside freezer. Found drain plug frozen over and coils iced up. Possible ice maker tube displacement. Cleaned, de-iced, adjusted water feed tube.
