Although very busy, Roy said he'd try to "squeeze us in" between noon and 2:00 today. Kevin, the man who did the work arrived at about 1:45, quickly diagnosed the problem with the non-working refrigerator. He had the parts in his truck, cheerfully performed the repair, gave us some tips on operation, accepted credit card payment, and was on his way. This will be our "go to" appliance repair provider from now on. Great work!

I called on Thurs and wanted the work done on Friday. They were able to work me in (which I really appreciated). Kevin was very punctual and professional and super nice. Kevin checked the dryer vent and removed any pre-existing lint build up. He then rearranged the washer and dryer like I wanted but first made sure all connections were good and that the dryer vent would not be kinked or obstructed in any way. He hooked up the dryer vent and all worked just perfect!! I was very delighted he could switch the washer and dryer placement as this has made doing laundry much easier. He also offered to show me how to check the outside vents for the dryer to make sure there was no build up on the little louvre doors to the vent. It was the first time any repair tech had offered to do that and I really appreciated being informed on how to keep the vent clean. Kevin was very informative on what work he was doing all the way through. They are now my go to for any appliance repairs. Thanks KEVIN!!!
Description of Work: Just moved into a new home and needed to have my dryer vent connected and possibly vent cleaned; also would like to have the washer moved into my dryer's spot and the dryer into the washer's spot due to the fixed doors on the front load washer and front load dryer both opening to the right..making the door to dryer in the way when transferring wet clothes from washer into the dryer.

It went great. Because we had a leak we asked if they could come out the day of the call and they were here within 3 hours of the call. Matt was very professional, did a good job of explaining the problem and fixing it. He was here for at least one and a half hours but the price was still reasonable. I would call them again if I had an appliance problem.
Description of Work: Repaired side by side refrigerator. It had been freezing up and leaking. Also Matt took the time to help me take the drawers apart so I could clean them. I had not been able to clean behind the drawers since I bought the refrigerator. You could tell he really knew what he was doing.

We have an older model washing machine that stopped working. I researched A Arnie's Dependable Appliance Service, read some of the reviews, checked the company's history, and decided to e-mail a message explaining the problem. I provided the name and model # of my unit. Then, about 5 minutes later, I thought, "Might as well just call their office." A gentleman, by the name of Roy, answered the phone and told me that he had read my message and was already in the process of checking out the serial # of my machine to see whether the parts were still available (since the washer was at least 13 years old). Then, Roy was more than happy to provide trouble-shooter suggestions and answers to the many questions that I had. Long story, short...although we opted to replace the old washing machine, rather than service it, I was VERY impressed with the professionalism and knowledge provided by a member of this company and I would definitely call them again if their services were needed.
Description of Work: The comnpany provided an immediate and informative response to an inquiry.

When I called to report my refrigerator was dead they reworked their schedule and while they said it would be late afternoon they sent someone right away so my food would not be in jeopardy. He was personable, professional and found the problem quickly.
Description of Work: Replaced a fuse in my refrigerator
The service tech called ahead to verify I was available and give me enough time to take care of my dogs as to not be in the way.. which I greatly appreciated. Upon arrival he reviewed the description of the issue with my dryer to better understand the symptoms and then performed troubleshooting and discovered the cause of the issue. While the dryer was disassembled he did a thorough cleaning of the inner workings of the dryer and also performed a cleaning of the dryer exhaust. Once complete he reassembled the dryer completely, knowing it would need to be reopened again next week. Throughout the service call Kevin was very courteous and responsive to questions while providing details as to the actions he was performing and why. As one of the issues was a bad fuse, he recommended for safety reasons to not use the dryer until the correct parts had been installed, which again I appreciate the fact it was Christmas Eve and everyone wants to be home with their family yet he was giving me the time and information necessary and not being 'in a rush' . Plans are for him to return after 1/3 once the parts are delivered and do the repair in addition to performing preventive maintenance (greasing, cleaning, etc..) of the dryer. Overall an excellent experience!
Description of Work: Provided quick response to my dryer not heating. The service tech (Kevin) was prompt and professional in listening to me , performing the necessary tests to verify and provided options for a solution. Unfortunately he did not carry the unique parts (Samsung dryer) and immediately placed an order and scheduled for a follow up next week. Since it is the holidays, the supply company could not fulfill the order until after the 1st of Jan. .. acceptable.

My dishwasher had stopped getting the dishes clean. The dishwasher is not that old so I decided to call for an estimate to get it fixed. I sent an Angie's List message on 12/10/2014 for A Arnie's to contact me for an appt. They called me back the same day and set up an appt for the following day. The service call fee was very reasonable and I could apply the fee to work performed. I also printed a coupon from Angie's list for 10% off. I was called when they were on the way. They arrived on time and in the time frame given to me. Jim arrived and went right to work. He was very professional and friendly. He determined the problem and gave me a price. He took the dishwasher apart and cleaned it all up. He didn't tried to sell me anything I didn't need. He cleaned up his mess when he was done. The dishwasher is now getting the dishes clean like new. I would definitely use A Arnie's again.
Description of Work: Dishwasher- Disassembled pump and removed all debris. Cleaned residue from spray arms and cleaned element.

Very knowledgable technician, Matt, knew the problem with my Maytag refrigerator. I thought I could do a DIY and order the part. I would have replaced the wrong part as Matt diagnosed a different valve. He was thorough. Cleaned up after himself. Nice guy.

Saved us from buying a new washing machine (Wish I'd called them before I bought a new dryer!) Came the day after we called. Came early in the morning, fixed it before I had to go to work. Knowledgeable, professional, prompt and reasonably priced. Fantastic service!

I called when my dryer broke. I called to set up an appointment around 2 15. by 3 o'clock they had someone fixing my dryer. It was an easy fix. It only took 10 min. The person who came out was very professional. My only complaint was that it cost me $53. Nothing needed to be replaced the drum just needed to be realigned. Over all i was happy with the service and will use them in the future.

The repairman was very punctual and efficient. I also appreciated that he explained everything very thoroughly and showed me up close the damaged parts that needed replacing. He went above and beyond in asking if there was anything else he could help me out with while he was here. I will definitely use this company for my future needs.

After dealing with the Geek Squad for three weeks, almost all of that time waiting for the repair man to show-up on his schedule. I called Arnie's and they were here the same day and on my schedule. Kevin was the tech. and within the first fifteen minutes found the problem and he even had the part in his truck, how lucky is that. An hour later, the machine was fixed and running like new and when I told Kevin that I found them on Angie's list I received a discount. Kevin did a great job, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We even shared a few jokes. There should be more techs like him. I would highly recommend Arnie's to anyone that needs a major appliance repaired.

Five hours after calling them, the microwave was fixed. I would have rather not spent that much money, but it was easier, faster, and ulimately cheaper than buying a new one. This is the second time I've had them out for appliance work. I will continue calling them in the future for any appliance work I need.

Excellent serivce was delivered by Kevin of Arnie's Appliance Repair today! My washing machine had begun to consistently fall out of balance during the spin cycle- an annoyance that I wasn't ready to accept from a 3 year old washer. I called Arnies Appliance Repair on Friday early afternoon and was added to their schedule for the upcoming Tuesday between 9 and 11am. Since it was not an emergency repair, waiting for 4 days was not an inconvenience. Tuesday morning I received a call from Kevin to give me the 'heads up' that he woud be there in about 20 minutes during the earlier half of the time window-- I always appreciate it when household repair services extend this courtesy. Kevin started troubleshooting the washing machine issue. Soon it was getting to the point where I was expecting him to tell me that the washer isn't worth fixing. However, Kevin instead continued troubleshooting til he had just about exhausted the possibilities. He was focused on determining "why" it was falling out of balance. Eureka! Kevin found the problem and was able to fix it. Kudos to his perserverance! In addition, I had asked Kevin about the importance of cleaning the dryer exhaust tube that exits the house. He explained several things to me about its importance. He told me that he could tend to that chore during today's visit. That, to me, was a convenience. Overall, Arnie's has provided this customer with excellent service from start to finish, from scheduling to repair.

Technician did a good job, on time. Before he was finished I said I saw them on Angies list he right away said I was gettting a Angies list discount before I asked for it so I didnt get the discount. So dont say anything up front if you use them. I feel this fix was overpriced for this small job.

Response from A Arnie's Dependable Appliance Repair Service Inc
The tech should have given you a written discount on your receipt of work and payment if you provided him with a printed coupon from Angies List. ( we receive many calls from people who claim they are from Angies List but have not bought the membership. That is why a printed coupon or one shown from your membership is required) We are happy you were pleased with our work and punctuality. Please accept our apology and The office will issue you a check and mail it to you for the discount you requested.

The place that I used was A Arnie's Dependable Appliance Repair Service Inc. It was stuck in the lock position or something, my particular stove, when I read on the internet, has that problem. The guy came and diagnosed it and said it was that problem. He ordered the part, came back the next day and very reasonable priced. They needed to buy a part. The guy just shared his knowledge with us. He did what he said. They said that they would get the part the next day, which I was really surprised about. They came back. You can kind of tell the people are good people, these are very nice good people. He was able to diagnose the problem very quickly.

I wish I could tell you how it went, but they wouldn't come out to my house!!! They said they don't service homes "south of Gulf to Bay Blvd"...even though their service listing states they service Clearwater. My home is exactly 2 blocks south of Gulf to Bay in Clearwater. I wish they would update their service description on Angie's list to be accurate (perhaps state service area as "parts of Clearwater" so others don't waste time as I did researching them, reading all their reviews...only to be told once you call them that they don't cover your area.
Description of Work: I wanted to hire them to repair my freezer's ice maker.
