Description of Work: I called because when Long Fence took out a fence around my front yard several years ago they failed to remove all the fence posts- just cut them off. I ruined my lawnmower when I ran over one of the "stubs", and I want it taken out, though I realize I'll probably have to pay more. They said they would send someone out, but no one ever came.

Description of Work: Great service - - they fix absolutely ANY appliance, no matter how old it is. I have used them to fix vacuum cleaners to blenders. They always have the right part. This time I took my 40+ year transistor radio to repair. It's of great sentimental value, and they repaired it while I waited. Great place!

This is my new favorite repair shop. I used to take my Honda mower to a Honda shop in Springfield, which charged about 30% more for the same service. The Springfield shop has moved to Manassas, and they estimated 2-3 weeks to do the work. Appliance Fix-It was able to do the work in less than 48 hours! I thought I needed a new blade and new wheels (based on advice from the old shop), but was told the blade could be balanced and sharpened and the wheels were fine. I appreciated the honesty and old fashioned customer service I got from Appliance Fix-It. They even cleaned up my grass encrusted mower to a fine shiny polish. They were friendly, helpful and professional. I will bring all my power tools and small appliances here in the future. And they make keys!
Description of Work: Honda lawn mower needed a tune up and blade sharpening to prepare for first mowing of a new lawn.

Service & repair went perfectly. Most lawn mower service firms have a back log that requires at least a week to complete service. Appliance Fix-t took my mower on Friday and called on Saturday to report the mower service was completed and ready for pickup. The cost was slightly less then the estimate. With such excellent service, it's too bad Appliance Fix-it doesn't perform major appliance repair in the home.
Description of Work: Appliance Fix-it charged $131.25 and used 3.5 hours to service and repair lawn mower including: carburetor kit, oil plug, filter, sharpen cutting blade and bolt for handle.

They were very polite and clear on the phone, and made sure I knew right away that there was a fee for picking up the mower at my house, which I was fine with. Just before they brought it back, they called and told me they'd tried to start the mower before loading it on the truck and found that it still wasn't working right, so let me know it would be another day before it would be returned. That was great follow-up, and they didn't charge anything extra for that. The mower works like new now. It was interesting what they found (spark plug and air filter), because I'd had it worked on by another mower repair shop which not only didn't fix the machine, but brought it back in worse condition after two tries! Cheers for Appliance Fix-It! My parents used their services when I was growing up-how nice to see that they are still in business after all these years.
Description of Work: Checked over all working parts of the mower, particularly the engine. Adjusted the tension of the pull cord starter. Found a dirty spark plug and air filter and replaced that.

Delightful service person. Took in mower in the morning and told them had been referred by another company and Angie's List. They called that evening, telling me it was ready to be picked up. They required a $40 deposit and said they'd call if the necessary repairs exceeded $100. As it turned out, the total was $105 but they did not call before doing the repair. That was fine with me. My husband thought the charges were excessive. I don't know how they compare in the region and, since I'm the one who mows [!] and wants the mower to start easily each time, I wasn't as concerned about the cost. However, I understand that if the annual service on a $350 mower is 1/3 the cost of the mower. Still, I compare it to maintenance on my car -- do it on a regular basis, as recommended by manufacturer, and I'm still driving it with no problems whatsoever at 120,000 miles even though if I added up all the service charges over the 9 years I've owned the car, it would be considerable.
Description of Work: I took in my one year old lawn mower for a general service, e.g. sharpen blades, check spark plug, carburetor, drain old oil and gas, etc. They ended up having to replace the spark plug [I expected this] and the carburetor [did not expect this, but he said it was rusted out and had probably been exposed to a lot of moisture; this is true].

Appliance Fix-it technician arrived promptly at scheduled time, removed the microwave from the wall and took it to his shop for diagnosis. He called within a couple of days with the bad news; the GE-performed installation had been incorrectly done. The exhaust vent was still taped shut, thus the exhaust fan vented threw the microwave and back into the kitchen NOT out threw the ceiling vent. The heating malfunction was caused by a broken magnetron and diode. Since the magnetron was still under warranty, we opted for GE repair. The microwave was returned to us at the agreed upon time.
Description of Work: GE Space-saver Microwave stopped heating. Contacted the Appliance Fix-it folks for repair.

Excellent. I called on Friday at 9 am and was told that the earliest they had available was tomorrow (a Saturday thank goodness!). Instead of giving the 8 hour window of time, they gave a 30 minute window, between 7:30 am and 8 am!!! Before coming, Mike Kellmel got the dryer model number, so he could bring the parts with him. He showed up within the 30 min window, fixed the part, put the dryer back, and was done in 30 minutes. The part plus labor was $175. I don't know if it is a great deal or not, but the quick service, 90 day labor guarantee, and follow through made it all worth it.

I called Mike on the basis of Angie's list reports. Angie's list gave him an A grade. I'd give Mike an A+. I thought our dryer was gone for good, as it was so old, but Mike came, and within 30 min., he had diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Although I was a new customer and Mike's schedule was quite busy, he fit me in early, two days after our initial contact. He called me the day before our appointment to confirm and determine the model of my dryer so he would be sure to have the right parts on hand so he wouldn't have to come twice. Mike was punctual, courteous, polite, and quick. The price was very reasonable too! I will definitely use him again!
Description of Work: Our 10 year old dryer suddenly died. Mike came and replaced the thermal limiter and checked our duct work, element, and thermostat. The dryer runs like new!

My mower would start, but would shut off within 3-5 seconds. Appliance Fix-It repaired it within 4 days and it operates fine. They also cleaned the mower and sharpened the blades at no extra charge although I didn't ask for this. I was very impressed with the service.

Excellent. Store clerk advised that it wasn't worth fixing over certain general costs. They called when they said they would and had mower ready for pick up and running well within 24 hours. During the busy spring season, this is remarkably quick turnaround. They also offer pick up service for additional cost.
