While Kathy seems like a really lovely person, her communications were a miss. If she'd explained the cost up front as soon as she diagnosed the issue, I'd have opted for a new dryer. Instead she proceed along the repair route and filled me in when she was ready to leave. Now I am several hundred dollars into a fixed dryer that hasn't been working right since service was provided so I'll end up having to buy a new dryer anyway.

I gave her the option of sending her control in for repair or buying a new control. She was well aware of the cost up front as she paid me 155.00 up front while waiting for her part to come. I even left her with my tester board so she would have a working dryer, and never charged a return charge to swap out tester for new. I'm very sorry you have to buy a new dryer.

She fixed it in two visits - ended up not having the exact part she needed, but she called it in right away and came back a few days later and got the job done at no extra cost.

Kathy took my phone call at 6:30 on Friday evening before Labor Day weekend. She was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and immediately got the parts ordered. She even offered to let me use some of her own freezer space if I needed it until the unit was fixed! She came out with the parts when they arrived and worked quickly. The fridge is up and running, and she even cleaned behind it! Responsive, great price, quick & efficient work, what more could you ask?

Spoke with Kathy on 09/01/17 and explained that I had had another company working on my icemaker and that it still wasnt fixed after four visits. She said she would look online at my model and call me back on 09/02/17. Called again on 09/05/17 after not hearing back from her. She wanted to know if I was ok with her entering the house without my being there. I told her I was not. We spoke about possible appointment times and she said she would call me back in 5 minutes. Called on 09/06/17 - she said she wouldn't take the job as she was going out of town on 09/08/17. Very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and having to chase soeone to give them my business. WIll never use.

Not quite how it went down. This call was dispatched to me 9-4-17. I left a message 9-5-17 at 9:28 am for the model and serial numbers, but not sure when she got the info back to me. This woman had numerous warranty calls on this refrigerator for a ice maker issue.. I was not the tech on these calls. she wanted after 4:30pm appointments. The minute after the initial call I felt I probably was not the tech for this job. I called the warranty company back and had it reassigned. When she called me later to set up an appointment time, I told he it was reassigned to another company and they would call her. She said do you mind my asking why! I said I felt I couldn't accommodate her schedule. She was upset about having to take off 4 days of work for the other techs. And told me she didn't want to take more time off of work. I said she could leave me entry or have a neighbor let me in, no options were fine with her. I think sometimes you can just tell if you are going to have a conflict with some people. I do hundreds of jobs a month. You can't win them all. Bad ratings are usually from unhappy people. She was unhappy before I ever spoke to her.

After a bad experience with a service man from a different company that same morning, who quoted us a high rate and found a reason to leave after opening up the dryer and probably not feeling like fixing it, we called Kathy. She arrived within the hour, was very responsive, friendly and professional. She explained what she thought needed fixing, and she was right. The dryer was fixed within 30 minutes, and the charge was very fair (half the quote we got from the previous company). We were very happy with her service and would definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to our friends.

Fix-it-Chick was great. She got the part I needed and had it installed very quickly. I was very satisfied with how responsive she was and how quickly she got the new part installed. I would definitely use her again.

The contractor lady came on the same day and diagnosed the issue. Then she ordered the part and came back the next day to installed it. She charged the part at retail price and only charge $89 for her service. Very reasonable! I would highly recommend her.

Customer bought a used appliance off Craigslist I believe. She called me to service dryer for a no heat situation. She bought a part but didn't know how to install it. I did install her part and dryer heated. The fuse blew again and I replaced bad fuse again. Her used dryer has some issues. She said she will replace it. When you buy used just remember you really don't know what your getting.

As owners of a rental property, our tenant's needs are paramount. Kathy was our first and only call. Her knowledge was obvious during our conversation. In addition to having great experience, Kathy was on time. And, when dealing with a rental client, being prompt to their needs is vital. Our machine is working, and Kathy also offered some valuable suggestions as well to keep it that way . W were treated professionally and courteously, and if needed, we would definitely call Kathy again. I would recommend her without hesitation.
