Bob returned my call the same day. He came over around noon and was finished by 12:30. He was kind, considerate, and answered all of my questions about the dryer. He also noticed that the washer was not hooked up correctly, so he re-connected the hose on the washing machine and moved the plastic utility sink so that it was underneath the spigots. The people who owned the house before us had moved it over the drain instead which was about three feet away. Before leaving he checked all of my other appliances quickly. He told me everything was in good order. I would definitely call him again if I need help.
Description of Work: Bob fixed my dryer. The belt needed to be replaced and the fuse needed to be replaced.

I called Angie's List about 2 hours ago for referrals, the tech was out within an hour of my call. He was able to repair the dryer. I don't think he was here more than 20 minutes. No muss, no fuss, and very pleasant people.

They were friendly, professional and pretty much knew what was wrong from asking us questions on the phone prior to coming over. They were timely. They provided us with valuable hints to maintaining and running our dryer to help it work more efficiently. They also did not charge us for a service call and were very reasonably priced. They showed expertise with our washer and old dishwasher and offered to help us with advice in repairing, replacing other large appliances at no charge. They seem to be real honest, trustworthy guys with a lot of knowledge and we will definitely call them again when we need help.
Description of Work: Bob and Ed came out within a day of our call and were able to clean out the blockage we had that was causing our 15 yr. old dryer to not run. They also reattached securely the lint/vent tubing that leads outside your home that kept falling off.

Bob came, looked at the problem and figured out what part he needed to fix the cooling problem. He had to purchase that part and returned in a short time with it and did a very competent job in repairing. We would certainly use his service again.

I telephoned Bob Saturday afternoon and received a voice mail. I left a message and my call was returned in about 15 minutes. I explained the problem and Bob stated that he can repair the dryer within an hour or two due to a previous appointment. He arrived on time and was accompanied by an assistant Ed. They were both pleasant and knowledgeable and went the extra mile. I was pleased the service and price and I will use Bob's Appliance Service again as well as recommend the company to all of my family and friends.
Description of Work: Bob replaced a dryer belt that was broken as well performed preventative maintence work to avoid trouble in the future.

BOB IS MY APPLIANCE REPAIR GUY FROM NOW ON. HE IS INTELLIGENT, POLITE, PUNCTUAL, CONSCIENTIOUS AND VERY THOROUGH. EVEN THOUGH HE HAD TO COME BACK TWO TIMES TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, HE ONLY CHARGED ME $55.00. THE SERVICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM BOB WAS EXCEPTIONAL. THANK YOU ANGIE'S LIST!
Description of Work: BOB DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED MY 18-YEAR-OLD WASHING MACHINE. EVEN THOUGH IT IS LIGHTLY-USED AND GENERALLY IN GOOD CONDITION, I'M SURE THAT OTHER REPAIR COMPANIES WOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO JUST BUY A NEW ONE. HE REPLACED AN ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

I LEFT A MESSAGE AND BOB CALLED ME LATER THAT NIGHT. IT WAS OBVIOUS HE HAD BEEN WORKING ALL DAY AND WAS RETURNING MY CALL LITERALLY OVER DINNER. HE SAID HE DOESN'T WORK ON DEHUMIDIFIERS, BUT ASKED ME TO DESCRIBE MY PROBLEM AND THEN GAVE ME SOME ADVICE AS TO HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING IT REPAIRED, HOPEFULLY UNDER WARRANTY FROM SEARS. BOB WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNEW HE WASN'T GOING TO GET MY BUSINESS ON THIS ITEM (JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DO THAT KIND OF WORK). I WILL RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE, AND USE HIM IF I CAN IN THE FUTURE.

ANOTHER GLOWING REVIEW FOR BOB - I CALLED BOB WEDNESDAY MORNING HOPING TO SET-UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE HIM REPAIR A SQUEALING DRYER. HE SAID HE WOULD BE OVER THAT DAY. HE ARRIVED IN ABOUT 90 MINUTES. HE HAD AN ASSISTANT WITH HIM. THEY QUICKLY RESOLVED THE DRYER ISSUE. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THE HOUSE AND ALL OF THE APPLIANCES WERE INCLUDED, HE ''CHECKED OUT'' EACH APPLIANCE AND MADE MINOR REPAIRS AS NEEDED! BOTH MEN WERE VERY PLEASANT AND HELPFUL - OFFERING TIPS FOR GOOD APPLIANCE UPKEEP. THEY WERE VERY QUICK, TIDY, AND PROFESSIONAL. ALL THIS FOR ONLY $40.00! I WOULD HAVE GLADLY PAID MORE FOR HIS TIMELINESS AND HELPFULNESS. THIS GUY LOVES APPLIANCES. I WILL CALL HIM EVERY TIME!
Description of Work: RESOLVED SQUEALING NOISE IN DRYER (PENCIL HAD FALLEN DOWN LINT TRAP AND WAS CAUGHT IN BLOWER MOTOR, BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW IT), NEW KNOB INSTALLED ON WASHER, UNCLOGGED PARTIAL CLOG IN GARBAGE DISPOSAL, REMOVED EXTREMELY LARGE ''DUST BUNNY'' FROM UNDERNEATH REFRIGERATOR, ''CHECKED OVER'' RANGE AND DISHWASHER. DISCUSSED ISSUE OF THE RANGE IN WHICH A MOUSE HAS TAKEN UP RESIDENCE AND DESTROYED THE INSULATION.

I NOW HAVE A REPAIRMAN! MY PHONE CALL WITH HIM WAS A BIT AWKWARD, THIS IS CLEARLY A ONE-MAN OPERATION AND HE USES HIM HOME PHONE FOR HIS BUSINESS. WHEN I DESCRIBED WHAT THE WASHER WAS AND WASN'T DOING, HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE WAS ON TIME, PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. I CONSIDER HIS PRICING A BARGAIN. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN.

FOR THE WASHER, THERE WAS A $25 DELIVERY CHARGE ON THE BILL THAT I DIDN'T EXPECT. I CALLED BOB AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS A STANDARD DELIVERY CHARGE, BUT THAT HE WOULD REMOVE IT BECAUSE WE HADN'T DISCUSSED IT. I APPRECIATED HIS WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH ME ON THE BILL. I WILL DEFINITELY CALL HIM AGAIN!
Description of Work: REPLACED A WASHER FOR ME. PRICE INCLUDED DELIVERY AND REMOVAL OF THE OLD WASHER WITH A REFURBISHED MAYTAG WASHER. ON A LATER OCCASION, MY DRYER WOULD NOT START. I SPENT TWO WEEKS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM MYSELF (INCLUDING TAKING THE WHOLE THING APART). I FINALLY CALLED BOB. HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE OUTLET HAD GONE BAD. BOB DOESN'T DO HEAVY-DUTY ELECTRICAL WORK, SO I INSTALLED A NEW OUTLET MY SELF AND VOILA, THE DRYER WORKED. BOB DID REPLACE THE OLD POWER CORD AND GAVE ME A NEW LINT FILTER. I WISH I HAD CALLED BOB BEFORE I SPENT TWO WEEKS STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG!
