They quoted me $150 to fix a 20-year-old vacuum cleaner. As I thought it was not worth the money, I did not get the job done. My interaction with them was great. I will definitely consider using them in the future.

We have had the lamp for years and very much wanted to be able to keep it. The switch to turn it on broke. Fix Masters replaced the switch. Their work and their price were excellent.

I left the food processor for repair, without asking for an estimate. When I called to see if it was ready, it wasnt. I then went on vacation, during which time he left two messages. When I returned I went up to the shop (granted without calling ahead) and he was on vacation. When I returned, about six weeks after the item was ready, and mildly said "wow" when I saw the price, he exploded, yelled ( I mean really yelled, not just as it is used today to mean "scolded") at me, saying he couldn't afford just to have items lying around unapid for, etc. I was very disappointed, since he has done other work for me before and I always had a good experience and admired his ethic of repair rather than replace. But this was not an experience I care to risk repeating.
Description of Work: I had a non-functioning food processor/blender repaired.

I called to ask about bringing older/vintage floor lamp for re-wiring; received instructions about hours of operation and location; brought floor lamp to store-front shop. And, I was given information about replacement wiring and recommendation about improving function of the 2 hanging light sockets of the lamp. Price was quoted and expected time that floor lamp would be ready for pick-up. I received call when lamp was ready (within expected timeframe). I paid the amount due ($60.00) and returned home with a perfectly functioning floor lamp.

The work was done well and the lamps are now straight and work well. I was told they would be ready in 2 weeks. I didn't hear anything from Fix Masters after 2 1/2 weeks, so I finally called them and was told they'd be ready the next day. I'm thinking he waited to do the job until I called. Didn't seem like a job that would take 2 weeks. $50 is what I was quoted and what I paid, but it seemed a little expensive. I didn't get other quotes, though, so I'm not sure. Also, just so you know, they only accept cash or checks - no credit or debit cards.
Description of Work: I had 2 brass candlestick-style table lamps that had crooked sockets. Fix Masters replaced the sockets and the insulation and also replaced the worn cardboard socket covers with new plastic covers.

The work is excellent. You would never be able to tell that there is a section missing. I know that it's a bit shorter but, because it sits on top of a bureau, the height, to me, is still more than acceptable. And the price was beyond reasonable at only $20. He promised it back to me within 10 days and he was right on target.
Description of Work: I dropped and broke a crystal lamp that sat on a bureau. A mid-section completely shattered. I brought it to Fix Masters and we agreed that he would just shorten the lamp as opposed to trying to find a part to replace the mid-section that shattered (which he very nicely offered to try to do).

I appreciated Joseph's honesty and prompt attention. I will definitely use his service for future repairs.
Description of Work: I wanted to make sure that an old Osterizer blender I had, which had not been used in over 20 years, was still in good working condition. Joseph was not able to take apart some parts of the blender due to their age. He cleaned what inner workings he could get to and charged me only $10 for that service, saying I would likely get another 4 or 5 years of use out of the blender.
