The person that answered the phone was very friendly and said she could send a repairman out this morning. Danny called to let me know when he was on his way. He was there about an hour after my original call to the office. It only took him about 10-15 minutes to fix the washer. He was very friendly and left the area clean and neat. I would definitely call them again.

Manny, the repairman, had an attitude issue. He did not even tighten the console down on the dryer when he finished. He said that their was nothing wrong with the dryer, but it did not dry clothes after he left. I called to tell Twin Cities owner, Dennis this but I had to pull teeth to get him to call me back. Dennis did not even say he was sorry about the way Manny acted. I don't think that I would use them again.

We schedule between 8 and 12 and 12 to 5. I apologize, but sometimes schedules run ahead and sometimes they run behind. I pulled up the day that your service was scheduled. The job before yours was scheduled to take 45 minutes. That job ran over 2 hours. The tech, Chuck, is very good about letting us know when he is running behind. I am sorry that you did not get that call. We have changed office personnel since that time. As far as the floor goes, this is the first time that I have heard anything about this. The tech's have cell phones to takes pictures and I have no entries from either the tech or office personnel about this. We are a family owned business and both my husband and I are available here at the office Monday through Friday. Please give me a call.

The serviceman was pleasant is the only reason I gave them a "D". It's okay to be wrong. You can make it right. Dennis and Sarah Broughton neither one cared to make sure our appliance was repaired. They were smug about this whole situation. Again beware.
Description of Work: Called to fix my fridge. It was freezing up in the back and defrosting and leaving pools of water below the crispers. The serviceman arrived and could do nothing with it because the back wall of the refrigerator had some ice build up. So had to make another appt. they came back out and the repairman wasn't sure if it was this part or another . Nonetheless it didn't fix it. Got my bill in the meantime and they charged me two service calls. I talked to Sarah and Dennis brought on about this. When I called I stated what the problem was and was not advised to take everything out and defrost the refrigerator. I am not a appliance repair person and some communication here on their part could have saved me another service call fee for a two minute serviceman to come and leave. I called another company and had it fixed the first time. Plus the technician that fixed it said he wasn't sure why they replaced the part they did as that would not have fixed my problem. Beware of management here down

Response from Twin City Appliance Inc
For Clarification: Our House Call (trip charge & diagnosis) is good for 30 days. We only use original manufacturer's parts. If we replace a part, our labor is guaranteed for as long as manufacturer of that part guarantees it. In this case, we replaced the defrost bimetal and element on April 5, 2012. Samsung guarantees their parts for 90 days and we guaranteed the labor to match for 90 days (until July 5, 2012). The problem that the customer originally had was that the unit was not defrosting every 6 - 8 hours so that the evaporator iced up and the unit quit cooling. Had we misdiagnosed it, the frost would have accumulated again within 5-7 days and the unit would have quit cooling again. The repair corrected the problem. He called August 29, 2012 and wanted a free repair. As this was almost 2 months after the 3 month warranty expired, we were not able to give him a free repair and Samsung was not willing to give him free parts.

Six visits later, two water valves (1st one installed was defective), and a cleaning with a strong chemical, the ice maker died. He stated that the compressor had gone out and wanted to replace all of the seals at an approximate cost of $750.00, but after the fiasco I had been through, I told him no. Now the ice maker has been removed and a new cabinet installed (another vendor) in its place. I miss the ice maker, but at that price, I can buy a lot of bagged ice. Then, I received a bill for a service call that stated the ice maker was OK. Needless to say, I called and had those charges reversed. At no point during these multiple visits did the ice maker resume working as it had before the service tech came out. He assured me that it was nothing he had done to make the ice maker go out, but he had also stated at the cleaning visit that the manufacturer does not recommend using the strong cleaning fluid, but that I should clean it this way every 6 months. When I shared this experience with a friend, she told me about a similar experience with a refrigerator. My thoughts were, "Now, you tell me." I will not allow this company back in my home.
Description of Work: The service tech was supposed to make the under-counter ice maker stop making grinding noises. This ice machine was making ice just fine before he started. It was just noisy.

Looking back over the records, the bill was sent in error. I have since replaced that office worker. Unfortunately time to time, we do received defective new parts. Replacement parts are provided at no expense to the customer when this happens, as it was in this case. The water valve only allows water into the machine and has nothing to do with the machine cooling or not cooling. Unfortunately, after the water was working, the unit failed again and needed the freon, compressor, evaporator rebuilt. I wish that you had called me personally. We try very hard to provide the best possible service for each customer. I am sorry that you were not happy.

A new refrigerator was purchased at Sears but the old Kenmore refrigerator needed to be looked at before the new one was delivered. Sears has been horrible with making and keeping delivery and repair appointments, cancelling on same day of appointment, etc. If old fridge was fixable I wanted to give to daughter but I needed to know before new fridge arrived. I needed old refrigerator hauled off if it was not repairable. Twin City Appliances was able to schedule an appointment out to check out my old fridge before the new one was to be delivered. In fact, once they listened to me talk about how Sears was giving me the runaround, they were able to get someone out to see me the same day I called. Twin City Appliance was professional, serviceman called before he came, they offered competitive repair rates plus a follow-up call was made to make sure I was happy with their service.
Description of Work: Sears cancelled an appointment to check a refrigerator on the blink to see if it could me fixed.

The technician diagnosed the problem and gave me a price to repair the dishwasher. I agreed to have them fix it and someone from the office was supposed to contact me and schedule the repair. I waited a day or so and called them to schedule. The repair was done on schedule. About 45 minutes after the tech left I again got the same error message on the dishwasher. I called the office to report this and they said they would contact the technician. I waited for 2 hours and called back and talked to the office manager. She contacted the technician while I was on the phone and sent him my way as soon as he was finished with the job he was working on. He came back a short time later and fixed the problem. So far the dishwasher is working with no further problems

Our washing machine needed a new part....the serviceman came promptly and was courteous....up to the point when he ran out quickly after installing the part, leaving the machine halfway out in the hallway and a HUGE amount of water that ran out into our wood floor, causing me to spend 30+ minutes cleaning it up, making me late for an important meeting. I have no idea if the price was competitive or not, but his behavior makes me suspect everything else about this company. Never again!

This was second service call for new Samsung refrigerator that had stopped cooling (75 degrees inside fridge). Few months earlier Twin City had replaced "sensor board" when first quit cooling. Few months later, same problem when they were called second time. Didn't really examine refrigerator, spent less than 5 min looking at front of it, then told me needed same part they had replaced few months earlier, plus another part, a fan motor. I expressed my concern because $2000 refrigerator going out twice in few months time??? Same problem? I accepted that; afterall, lightning can strike twice in same place. I understand that we all make mistakes, but my problem with this company was lack of attention from office staff and owners (who wouldn't even return my call to discuss my concerns). Of course, I was not happy, but never used inappropriate language or raised my voice, yet receptionist told Lowe's mgr that I was RUDE. It is summertime, I have no refrigerator/freezer, for weeks - rude? As a retired HR manager, I would like to tell her if she can't handle an irritated customer, she doesn't need to be in the customer service field. Left message for owner/mgr to call, never received a call from anyone there. Guess they couldn't handle a rude customer either. You would think they would WANT to talk to a customer who was not happy so they could resolve it. To summarize, had to wait a week for parts to come in, then wrong part was ordered, hours spent on phone with Lowe's and Samsung. End result...FREON LEAK! If they had really checked it out during second service call, it could have been repaired first day, saving us all so much frustration. Can't help but wonder, if the first sensor board they replaced was even defective. Even after this, NO ONE BOTHERED TO CALL TO APOLOGIZE. (Service man did say he was sorry they didn't catch this problem first time.) Although this did not cost us any money since refrigerator was under warranty, I'm sure Samsung or Lowe's paid these people plenty for their incompetence. Samsung and Lowes should look closely at this company. Service person left paperwork in my kitchen on this problem when he finally repaired freon leak. Before he came back to pick it up, I noticed that the paperwork showed they had come to my house to make repairs while we were out of town on vacation. The paper showed they waited over 2 hrs in front of my house, but we were "no show." This company was notified we would be out of town if the parts came in to fix it. Glad we didn't have to pay for this, but Lowes or Samsung paid for this!

Response from Twin City Appliance Inc
We sincerely apologize for your poor experience. Our techs are trained by Samsung twice a year and each model has a certain set of items to be checked by the technician. They are taught by Samsung to use the literature and follow procedures. The control board was replaced 4-27-12 and we were notified 5-24-12 that the refrigerator was having a problem. The Samsung checks that the tech went through the 2nd time indicated a faulty sensor and fan motor. You are right, he should have personally checked using his experience and found the sealed system problem at the time of the 2nd repair. The manufacturer of the product pays for any warranty service and only 1 trip is paid for within any 90 day period, so all the extra work cost was not passed along to anyone, but absorbed by our company. They paid a basic flat fee. There are no notes in our files concerning any rude behavior. Apparently there was a misunderstanding and we apologize for your time and tribulation. We did not perform acceptably in this repair and hope that you will use us again.

I feel the tech was great but the communication skills and people should be fired. They change appointments without notice, don't return calls, don't give messages, etc.
Description of Work: I have an air conditioner/heater combo at a rental unit. I called to have them come out. They came out in a couple of days. Unfortunately the two techs that came over didn't or couldn't do anything. It tooks over 30 days to get any kind of service or communications. As of last weeks, nothing still hadn't been done. They were recommended by the manufacturer. Horrible.

He was prompt. I called them over a week and left the message on the phone. They called me back on Monday morning and came out the next morning. His prices were reasonable. He did what he said he was gonna do. He arrived when he said he was gonna arrive and he got the part when he said he was gonna get it, and it was all taken care of. I highly recommended them.

The repairman could not find the source of the problem and was honest. Suggested that, since it was new, the best course would be to ask for a replacement, which I did.

My experience with Twin City Appliance was very favorable and I would certainly use them again. The service man even told us which brands they service most often and those they they have the least trouble with. I found that MOST helpful for the next time I have to buy a large appliance. Unfortunately the brand I have was on the wrong list!
Description of Work: Our refrigerator in the garage was not cooling or freezing. The lights were on but nobody was home! I made a call on late Friday afternoon 10/21 and a repairman was scheduled for Monday. He showed up on time, determined the issue, ordered the part (10/24) and installed it (10/31). I was very pleased with the office staff and the repairman and would certainly call them again.

Description of Work: A horrible, horrible experience with this company, though I have used them several times in the past. Our GE Monogram refrigerator/freezer went out and the fastest appointment I could get was approx. 7 days later. When the repairman arrived and found out what the problem was, he said he would have to order a part. I gave approval and he said the "office" would contact me with the next appt to install the part. The call never came. I then called and spoke with a receptionist and a manager who assured me that the part was on it's way and they set up an appt for installation. We did this 3, yes, three times. Each time my husband or I took off work for that "four hour time period" and no one ever came. Finally, after having enough of this nonsense....and this is a refrigerator much needed during the summer....I called Sears. They were here the next day (with the part) and installed it within 30 minutes. There is just no excuse for this kind of service, or should I say, lack of service. Not only was the service horrible, but the attitude of the manager was defiant and rude. I worked with them for almost 3 weeks to get the refrigrator fixed because I know that mistakes happen and people are human. However his belligerent attitude and the fact that he outright lied and said a repairman had been to the house to install the part was the last straw. My husband and I both missed work, and on each day I waited by the door - without vacuuming etc so I could hear the doorbell. We were desperate to have it fixed. A couple of weeks after Sears fixed it, Twin City Appliance had the nerve to send us an invoice for payment that said they had ordered the part and the "customer refused installation". I wrote them a letter with dates and details that explained exactly what happened throughout this ridiculous process. I finally got an invoice returned with a zero balance and a handwritten "sorry" scrawled across the top. I believe the managers and staff hide things from the owners and that the owners really need to get a grip on their company. I will discourage everyone I know from using this company.
