Eric was the technician sent to my home Tuesday, April 22. He ascertained that the igniter was the issue with my gas dryer. He had an igniter with him, but it was broken. He was going to order one and thought he would be back the following Thursday to make the installation. When I didn't hear from them Thursday morning I called to find that I wasn't on the schedule at all for that day. They called me back within the hour to let me know the part had arrived and they would be out that day with it. Eric came back and was able to get the part installed and test it to ensure all was working fine. He was very courteous and did a great job. He did tell me that if I wasn't happy to say that Chris was the person who made the repairs. LOL. The only thing I would change is removal of Saturday hours on the web page.

I paid for the service and on contacting the company was notified that they did not service appliances in my area. They refunded the payment. They were courteous and knowledgeable. Angieslist, however, was unable to remove the "NAGGING" screen which demanded a review of a service never negotiated for a transaction made in 2011. This despite 2 calls and a couple emails explaining the situation. Filling out this form evaluating a non-event appears to be the only way to remove the NAG screen from my Angieslist account.

Thank you for taking the time to send in a review. We are sorry that we do not service your area. Did our company receive a "C" rating or Angie's List? From your review I am not sure. I understand your issue with the Angie's List review request. I am also a Angie's List member and receive those same calls and emails requesting a review on a company that I looked at on the web site. Unfortunately the majority of time I am looking at my competitors Angie' List information. Ethically I cannot do a review my competitors, so I just have to delete the emails. It can get annoying. . Thank you, Lance Kimball

My dryer stopped heating. I called Appliance Repair Specialists and told them the problem I was having. I told them what I had checked. They asked for the serial number to make sure they had the right parts on the truck. Chris arrived on the front side of the arrival window. He went right to work and diagnosed the problem and gave me an estimate. I had him do there repair. He finished pretty quickly. Everything was put back in place and we could start drying clothes again. The estimate was exact. Chris was very nice. I will use Appliance Repair Specialists in the future if the need arises. I highly recommend them.

A couple years ago, I contacted this company from Angie's list and have called upon them whenever appliances in our properties need repair. They have always performed superbly. On this occasion and by coincidence the washing machine, refrigerator and dish washer needed repair. I called and was scheduled an appointment within a week. Two technicians arrived as scheduled and immediately knew what and how to repair the items. The washing machine had a bra underwire lodged between the inner and outer drum. Refrigerator had water building up on freezer floor and was leaking. The dish washer side brackets were not mounted correctly which made the door opening loose. Completed all repairs were expertly and expeditiously. The technician were courteous and professional.

The only problem is that they do not have much experience with LG dishwashers. They did tell us that LG only has 1% of the dishwasher market. They were first thought that the pump needed to be replaced so we had to wait a week for it to be delivered from Jacksonville. When they went to put it in they found out that there was nothing wrong with our pump. I give them high marks for their honesty. They then ordered a control board. We were again told it would take a week for it to arrive. . When we did not hear from them after a week we called. We found out that the control board was in but some other part was ordered from Las Vegas and they were waiting for that. This was a simple mix up and the part was not for us. They then came out and repaired our dishwasher by installing the new control panel.

The kid, Tyson, that was going to do the repair stormed in our house, grabbed his toolbox and hollered, "I don't work for free!" He left our front door WIDE open, he is lucky our two small dogs did not get out. How rude is this kid! I cannot believe that with this economy they are trying to overcharge and disrepect their customers. $109 plus tax to remove front panel and pull drum forward, NO THANKS.
Description of Work: We have used this company 3 times to fix our front loader dryer...never had an issue until today. Today the pompous young guy came in, looked at the dryer, quoted almost double for the repair, which did not even need a part. He said the drum was off and it would take him 15 minutes from start to finish to complete. My husband then called the so called owner "Lance" regarding why we were being charged so much for no parts. Lance told us that the last guy that had fixed our dryer was undercharging the customers and that is why he is no longer with the company. Lance did NOT apologize for his immature employee's behavior. WHAT A JOKE!

Response from Appliance Repair Specialists
I do apologize that we could not meet your expectations and I understand that you feel our pricing is high, but our goal is to give our customers the exceptional service they deserve. Unfortunately we cannot do that at the price you want to pay. All of our technicians are factory trained and certified, drug tested, and background checked. Our technicians are our employees. We do not use outside independent contractors to do our repairs. Our company carries general liability, commercial insurance and workman’s comp insurance. We offer all this so every one of our customers is fully protected and hopefully receiving outstanding service, but all this comes at a price. Our company needs to at least cover our cost and hopefully make a little profit. That being said, Tyson did offer you our lowest labor rate that meets this goal. I demand that all of my employees respect our customers, but I can only hope that our customers give my employees the same respect. After discussing the situation with Tyson, I understand you did not show respect for him. You berated and talked down to him. When you called and discussed the situation with me, you used foul language during our conversation. My employees and I will respect our customers, but in return, we do ask that our customers give us that same courtesy. Tyson informed me that as he was exiting, the front door was blown open by the wind but he did turn around and close it. I am sorry I was not there to witness this. I do apologize. Being a dog person myself, as is Tyson, I am glad they did not get out and are safe. I understand Appliance Repair Specialists is not the cheapest company in town, but my goal is to exceed customers’ expectations. That is why I love Angie’s List members as customers. They want exceptional service, but they understand that it may cost a little more to receive it. I am a firm believer in “you get what you pay for”, especially in regards to service. As the saying goes, “good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good”.

The price was very appropriate for the service call. He was clean, did everything he could, and then left. You couldn't ask for anything more.
Description of Work: He came when he said he would. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wasn't able to complete the job, so he put me in touch with someone who would be able to do it, and honor the Angie's List discount.

Service tech Mario was courteous and professional. Offered repair by ordering new hose part. Declined service due to simplicity of fix by to repair existing hose. If I had been unable to perform repair, I would have asked him to provide service. I had originally ordered the service call by using their on-line service request. The request was answered in a timely manner. Other companies I have dealt with in the past seem to ignore their on-line and email requests or monitor them very rarely. Good experience.

We purchased a new washer on his recommendation, only to find that the dryer didn't work as he suggested it would. We had to replace that as well. It was probably an honest mistake, but if he had been more thorough with his inspection, we could have either serviced the dryer or replaced both units at the same time saving us time, expense and extra aggravation; not to mention an extra trip or two to a laundromat!
Description of Work: he told us that we needed a new washer. He suggested models and specifications that would work well for our family. He didn't check the dryer, thinking that the washer wasn't getting the rinse job done, so that was probably why the dryer didn't seem to work. He was wrong. The dryer had to be replaced after we got the new washer. I wish we had known that when we purchased the washer, but he didn't really check it.

Thank you for taking the time to send in a review. I really do appreciate the feedback. I am sorry that our technician did not diagnosis the problem with your dryer. I wish appliance technicians could use the term "Practicing" like doctors and lawyers. These two professions are smarter and tell their clients they're practicing if they make a mistake. Unfortunately appliance technicians do not have that luxury. I am sure the technician was doing his best with the information he had at the time. Thank you, Lance Kimball President

I joined Angie's list because we needed a service provider we could depend on after a bad experience with another provider who could not diagnose the problem. I found Appliance Repair Specialists on your recommended list in our area. I Called and they came the next day. The gentleman was polite and diagnosed the problem promptly. As mentioned previously he called ordered the part, it arrived yesterday and they scheduled for him to come today and switch the parts out. All seems to be going well.
Description of Work: Replaced the damper. He showed me that the damper was iced over and the motor full of ice. He thawed it out and tried to see if it would then work. It did not. He called the company, ordered the part and replaced it a week later.

Mario, the technician arrived as scheduled. He immediately diagnosed the problem a a bad thermal fuse. He had one on the service truck so was able to repair the dryer the same day. Mario was very professional and knowledgeable. He seemed to be uncomfortable with the cost of the repair but stated that he had to go by the service guide that was provided to him. I found it odd that the part was waranteed for 90 days but the labor only 30 days, especially since the part was less than 1/20 of the cost of the repair. We are now in to the third week since the repair and everything seems to working perfectly.

They were totally professional from start to finish. Mario showed up as promised & went to work right away. Within a 1/2 hour, he had determined the problem. He also gave me the option of being able to save money by allowing the refrigerator to defrost on its own rather than having him do the job. I agreed to do that since it was going to save me $80.00 on the cost of the job. By the next day (Sunday) I was able to plug the refrigerator in & it started working fine right away.
