Mike's Independent Repair Services Inc

I highly recommend Mike Meister for appliance repairs. In addition to being a very experienced and knowledgeable technician, he was very honest and personable. He knew exactly what to do to solve the problem with my gas dryer, and his cost was very reasonable. Another important thing about Mike--he actually got here on the day he promised and within the appointment time frame he estimated! My opinion is that Mike's Independent Repair Services is an excellent and reliable source for major appliance repairs. Based on my experience, I will not hesitate to call Mike in the future.

My 1962 Hotpoint/GE stove started throwing sparks when I was cleaning the oven. Mike's Independent Repair Services was the first appliance repair service that was comfortable working on a stove that old. The stove is built into the cabinetry in the kitchen and replacing it would have required us to rip up counters and cabinets to get it out. Mike was familiar with the stove make, model and year when I called (two other appliance repair places laughed when they heard this stove is almost 50 years old). He could have come out the next day, but I made the appt. for the day after. He gave me a 2-hr window for the estimated arrival time, and was at my house within that time period. He was not able to repair the wiring to the light inside the oven, but was able to sort of tape it off and make it safe. He also evaluated the four burners on the stove top. Three work well but the fourth needed both a new burner and a new switch, and he told me those parts aren't available anymore. We turned the power on and tested both oven and burners when he was done. I am low on cash right now and am happy to have a range that works (I can easily live without the oven light and 3 burners instead of 4). My biggest concern was that the stove be safe to use, and I'm confident that it is after having Mike work on it. He and his helper arrived on time, were professional and courteous, and knew what they were doing. His hourly rate of $55 is comparable with other repair services in this area. He spent about one hour here and the total charge including tax was just under $60. He has several licenses and also works on refrigerqators, freezers, washers, dryers and dishwashers. Bonded and insured. I would DEFINITELY use him again!
