Josh was in and out in a very short time and we have not had a repeat of the problem.
Description of Work: Ice was forming on the bottom (inside) for the freezer compartment of our KitchenAid French Door refrigerator. Josh Skipworth identified the problem with the refrigerator drain line and replaced it with a revised design part. Josh told us that this was a problem identified by KitchenAid and they had extended the warranty to two years for this repair and, therefore, there be no charge.

We had a less than satisfactory experience with the "factory" technicians, and took to Angie's List for someone who would be able to take care of us in a timely fashion and professional manner. My sister-in-law was the first to use Guinco for an issue with her fridge, and gave a crucial thumbs up. I have to say the folks were great. They got a technician to our home in a reasonable amount of time, their technician, Joe, was great, and they fixed our fridge. The repairs were expensive, however, that was driven by the cost of the parts, which I knew would be the case going in. We were treated fairly, the issue is fixed, and Joe was great to have in our home. He was professional, cleaned up after himself, was very polite, and was very patient as I watched him perform some of the repairs. We would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We had a number of things which needed to be repaired on our fridge. The ice maker stopped working, as well as spring operated flap inside the door broke. Guinco replaced both parts for us, and we are now up and running.

The touch panel on my dishwasher was frozen. The tech diagnosed and reset it, but went far beyond and checked all the 'guts' and made some suggestions for operations that have made the appliance more effective. Very pleasant. I was particularly impressed with the communication. Email confirmation of my appointment, call in advance so I could meet him and lose minimal work time and good follow-up. Great to find an excellent service company on Angies List.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and reset the electronics on my dishwasher.

Response from Guinco Service
I appreciate your comments. After looking into your concerns I noticed the prior repair you mentioned was 3 years earlier. After discussing this with the technician, he mentioned it was working perfectly after the repair 3 years ago so he found no reason to charge you for a handle when tightening up seemed to fixed it. Had he known it was gong to break 3 years later, I'm sure he would have replaced it. He was trying to keep your costs down. I also noticed he looked at 2 other appliances while in your home at no charge. Again, I appreciate you keeping us on our toes but I feel the technician went above and beyond as he usually does. Thank you for your business.

A couple of disappointments: Their office did not followup on calls, tech was running late and caused me to miss work time, and no actual service was done, just gave me helpful info on machine, and they still charged me $100.
Description of Work: My washer tub was misaligned. Tech said it was due to heavy load, although the machine is made for that.

Response from Guinco Service
I looked into your concerns. Our system shows you needed an appointment time due to your work schedule. We had you scheduled for a first call on 9/13 since that is the only time of day we can guarantee a time of arrival since we don't know how long the technicians will be in homes during the course of the day; sometimes it's just 20-30 min, other times it's an hour +. For this reason, if we guaranteed timeframes later in the day, we would often miss those appointments and upset a lot of customers. What we do is give 2 to 3 hour timeframes with an email confirmation the day prior and and automatic call when the technician is on the way. Many of our customers prefer this so they can go on with their day until receiving that call. Our records also show that you called the day prior to your scheduled appointment asking if we could run the call a day earlier. We called the technician and he very kindly offered to add your service request to his already full day. Someone with the initials CJ confirmed a 3-6 appointment. Our automatic call went out at 5:30 and the tech arrived soon thereafter. Since you requested "late as possible" the technician thought he was dong you a favor, but I do apologize if we didn't make it more clear. Once there, he discovered your washer was not level, resulting in an unbalanced load. He balanced the washer at no charge and then charged you the $99.95 trip and diagnosis fee only. I can understand if you don't agree with our charges. We are a professional service company and charge accordingly. We also quote these prices while you are booking the service call and record those calls. I will be glad to send you the recordings on this one if you like. Thank you for the time you spent to fill out a survey.

The technician was prompt, courteous, and took the time to cover his shoes so that he didn't track anything in on my floors. He was very polite and worked quickly. Absolutely no problems at all! I kind of feel bad giving Guinco a C on price. They charge $99 just to come out, which I figure is pretty standard. No issues with that. But several hundred dollars for a circuit board?!? Wow! I don't think that Guinco has a whole lot of control over that, but I was still surprised by the cost. When I can buy a complete motherboard for a computer for less than $100 at the store, I wouldn't have thought that a circuit board for the ice maker would cost so much. Like I said, I feel bad giving them a C on price because I don't know how much control they have over what they charged for the circuit board. I still give them an overall rating of A and would use them again.
Description of Work: The ice maker in my KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer stopped working. The service technician correctly diagnosed the problem as being a circuit board that had failed. He replaced the board and everything is working fine now!

Please don't feel bad. I appreciate the time you took to give an honest review. I don't blame you for giving us a C in pricing, for the reasons you mentioned. It's often embarrassing on our part, what we have to charge these days for repairs. As you mentioned, we don't have any control over the part prices. Again, thank you for your survey and we appreciate your business! Jeff Guinn

Josh Skipworth (our technician) arrived on time. He was very professional and informed us what the problem was. After receiving the 'go-ahead', he was able to complete the repair (all work done in a single call). My only comment (and this is NOT directed towards Josh) is that it appears that Guinco either can't or won't work off of the 'message provider', as I sent 2 messages (12/22 & 1/3) and received no replies. It was only after i called Guinco that I was able to establish contact with them.

Service man arrived within the specified time frame. Spent a minute discussing the symptoms. He got to work. Within a few minutes he had jimmied the stuck motor/driveshaft loose and it was up and running right as rain. Awesome!. He just as easily could have told an unsuspecting person that the motor was bad, and replaced it for a lot more money. I respect integrity above ALL OTHER THINGS in dealings such as this. Guinco's service man has it in spades. YES, I will use them again! YES, I will recommend them to all my friends and acquaintences.

It went great! They called me approximately 30 minutes after you contacted them on my behalf. A service rep from Guinco made an appointment for 2 days later & the rep arrived on time and was polite and very effective. He assessed that the thermomister needed to be replaced along with a gasket that seals the air between the refrigeration compartment and the frozen drop for ice. The Whirlpool refrigerator was freezing everything in the refrigerator compartment. He came back in 2 days with parts and replaced the bad parts and it's all fixed! I would totally recommend Guinco to anyone. The price included the service call, parts and labor. Guinco communicated with me daily via email and it was a totally great experience; they also asked that I complete a survey afterwards.

iExcellent. Michael Marks is our service technician. This is not the first time he has come out to service one of our appliances, so we knew we would be in for a treat! Michael is thorough, diligent, knowledgable, punctual and absolutely pleasant to have in our home! And....of course, he does excellent work. Once Michael's fixed a problem....it is fixed!

From the first call to Guinco until the technician left our house, the service was professional, responsive, and very easy to use. The technician was knowledgeable, had the part ready when he arrived, and fixed the dryer in under 15 minutes. Truly great service and they warranty the parts and the labor. We will definitely use them again.

Called and left a message the night before when I smelled a burning smell coming from the freezer. They called 30 minutes before they officially opened, and had someone here before noon! I lost very little food to thaw. Dustin came and fixed the refrigerator within 30 minutes. Replaced 2 burnt out relays. He was professional and very helpful. This is the third time Guinco has come here and we love them. Thank You Guinco!

Love this company's very nice way of communicating - always sends an announcement email telling you when to expect the tech with a photo of the person who is coming to your house! The email also asks you to confirm the appointment. The tech calls before he comes out and today he was 30 minutes early, diagnosed the problem, did the repair, left his card if there was a problem, charged my credit card via his smart phone, emailed me the receipt and was out the door in much less than an hour! The only draw back is this company is not cheap, replacing that broken plastic bracket cost $243.18.

I was amazed when I called Guinco Appliance first thing in the morning and the serviceman came to our door @ noon. I selected Gunco after reading all the positive comments stated on Angue's List and I couldn't wait to write a review. My husband and I were particularly impressed by our serviceman, Alvin Rios. He was very professional and courteous.

Received name of company from Angie's List/called and told that there would be a $99 charge for the technician to evaluate the problem and the charge would be applied to any repairs done. A time & date was set up and I received a call when the technician was on his way. Alvin, was very courteous, used covers over his shoes and explained that a part had to be sent out and repaired. I received a call when the part was in and set up another time & date. I found Guinco Appliance Repair Company to be very professional, punctual and the charges were very fair. Since all my appliances are older I expect to need repair service again and I will definitely call Guinco and ask for technician Alvin.

Good national and local appointment by extended warranty company, then contacted by Guinco repair service, made appointment, they confirmed a few days out, then a phone call the day of service saying Tech was just leaving the appointment before me, Tech showed up only about :10 minutes after warning call, nice guy, professional, clean. Made rapid repair, and gave me tips on operating dishwasher better. Great experience! will use again.

I made my original appt through Whirlpool. However, when the company gave me a couple options of companies, I first checked out Guinco on Angies List before confirming. AL rated Guinco extremely high, so there was no reason to look further. Two people showed for the appt. They quickly evaluated the washer and refrigerator problems and determined the repairs needed. The repairs required ordering parts. So Chris returned the next week with the parts and installed them. In addition to the great job of diagnosing and repairs, I was very impressed with the company's communications. I received emails to confirm appts. I also received calls with an estimated time of arrival. Both were automated. But if this automation keeps me well-informed, I don't mind that I didn't talk with a person until they arrived. It's always a little unsettling to me to invite strangers into your house to work. That's why I swear by Angie's List. But now I also have one company (Guinco) to call when my large appliances need repair.
Description of Work: Guinco repaired a front-loading washer that I bought from Costco in January 2012 that was still under Costco's 2-year warranty. It had been making LOTS of noise when spinning. Since I had them out for the washer, I also asked them to look at my Kitchenaid refrigerator that hasn't been very cold for years.

First visit repair guy couldn't get frig from cabinet. Recommended I get carpet guy to come cut the carpet. Luckily, before resorting to that, I asked sons to come over. They screwed up frig feet and got it out. Second visit, repairman came with another guy, but work wasn't completed. Third visit repairman ran out of fuel for torch, had to go get some & didn't finish job. Was leaving for vacation the next day so I had to wait another week for him to return. Finally finished repairs on 4th visit and then presented me with a bill for over $800! I had been quoted $400.....this fix not include any parts as it was under warranty and Sub-Zero sent needed parts at no cost. Contacted the owner with these comments before posting them here, but received no response.

I called and they came first thing the next morning. They were very punctual, dressed in uniform, and looked very professional. He was a very pleasant man and explained it would cost $270 to repair the machine. He suggested I replace it because it is fifteen years old and no longer energy efficient. I took his advise and purchased a new washing machine. I thought the price was reasonable for the work performed and I would definitely use them again for an appliance repair.
Description of Work: I had a Whirlpool washing machine that had a broken water pipe. He said he would look for that particular part because they no longer make it for that model.
