I needed someone to check our Gaggenau oven so called Gaggenau and was given three local, certified repair companies. After reading through the reviews, I decided to give Ace Appliance Service a call. They were able to schedule an appointment within a week. On the day of the appointment they called to update me on the time and promptly showed up as scheduled. They charge $250 to come out and take a look which is fair since I don't expect them to drive to your place and work for hours without getting compensation. Justin was very knowledgeable and took the time to fully explain what was going on with our oven. Fortunately, it didn't need any repairs and we now have a much better understanding of how it works. read more

I needed help with our brand new Bosch dishwasher and contacted Ace because they are an authorized service partner with the best Yelp reviewsp. From my first phone call with Lynne, customer service and communication were excellent! I like that they send reminder confirmations the day prior to the appointment. Justin came out to service the dishwasher and was able to diagnose the problem right away. He was very informative and professional in his approach and extremely knowledgeable. We needed to order a part for the repair and his return visit went very smoothly. He even caught something that I would never have noticed about the dishwasher door. He fixed it and everything was perfect. I would not hesitate to contact Ace Appliance Service for my future needs. read more

Ace Appliance Service is responsive, reliable and highly competent. I've used Alan 3 times for subzero refrigerator repairs and each time he diagnosed the problem quickly & accurately and then proceeded to repair it efficiently and correctly. He definitely knows his craft, very careful, thoughtful and indeed efficient. His wife who does the scheduling is very nice, returns calls and follows up with reminder text for appointments. I STRONGLY recommend Ace and only Ace for Subzero Repairs. Lastly, they truly provide value service with honest & fair pricing. read more

Very professional and knowledgeable.... Appointment was scheduled and show up on time, help located parts for repairs. read more

Our almost new Bosch dishwasher stopped running suddenly last week. Lights flashed, it would start a cycle, but then it abruptly stopped. The user booklet suggested several things to try, none of which worked. So I called Costco's warranty service line. They were very professional, and walked me through several suggested fixes. None worked. So with the Costco service rep serving as intermediary, we received a service authorization number from Bosch, which then provided a lists of five companies authorized to do service work under the Bosch warranty. Two of the five are on a different island, and one of those was reported to be out of business by other Yelpers. Of the three remaining, I noticed that Ace Appliance Repair had the most reviews, so I went with them. I spoke with Lynn in their office and got our service request underway. There was a little glitch setting it up, and Lynn was so pleasant to work with. She was good humored and I enjoyed working with her. In the end, we arranged a service call at the beginning of the week. Today Justin arrived right on schedule. He was pleasant, seemed very knowledgeable, and shared why it was taking him a while to run the diagnostics. But it didn't take too long for him to figure out that something had sent our dishwasher into "demo" mode. He said an electrical blip could do it, but other things could trigger as well. After several tries, he was able to get it out of demo mode and running properly. He then wrote out the instructions for what to do if this ever happens again. All in all, I give the company, and Justin, the tech, very high marks. I mentioned to Justin that I had enjoyed his mother's good humor. "That's my mom," he said. So it's a family operation, not a corporate giant. That's a plus in my book. If we have problems with other appliances that they service, Ace will be on the top of my call list. read more

"Alan came to fix my Miele shocks, and it now runs smoothly. He's one of the few certified to work on Miele appliances." I have called on them for several years and they have been timely and efficient. read more

Lynn recognized my phone number on her ID caller and called me. Unfortunately they do not service the brand of my dryer. However I appreciated that she took the time to call me, even if I did not leave a message, and suggested places I could look for new appliances should I need to get a new one. Genuine aloha still exists! Thank you, Lynn! read more

Our 12-year-old Whirlpool refrigerator/freezer recently starting giving us problems. Although it still works, ice crystals would form inside the right side of the freezer, and food items in certain areas of our refrigerator would freeze. We had a hunch that maybe it was time to buy a new one, but wasn't sure if it would be just a simple problem to fix. Who can we call? We checked Yelp and gravitated toward Ace Appliance Service (AAS) with a 5-star rating of 57 total reviews. Then, just so happened, my sister-in-law mentioned that she was pleased with Ace Appliance Service, whom she called from her friend who referred them to her, that fixed her dryer. I then researched the business and was satisfied with what I could find. With both testimonials and research, I anxiously called Ace to make an appointment. AAS is a family-owned business that has been operating for the past 7 years. The Tsugawa Family has Lynne taking care of appointment scheduling and the processing of payments, while husband Alan and his son, Justin, as well as a son-in-law that make up the technical team that does the repairs. We found the entire process seamless and were very satisfied with the end result and highly recommend AAR! Calling to make an appointment was easy peasy! Lynne was so gracious and understanding of our situation as I gave her our refrigerator brand, model no., and serial no. She noted that there is an automatic $99 charge for the house call, that they are normally busy, and that the next appointment available was about a week away; however, if there were any cancellations, she would call me. And she did! Someone had cancelled the next day, and I happily rescheduled for a two-hour block from 1p to 3p. While I mentioned to Lynne that I had a dinner reservation at 5p and was concerned that the repair guys could be still working at that time, she assured me not to worry, as she would note my commitment on the appointment. On the day of the appointment, Justin calls at 12:50p to tell us he's on his way. So prompt! He arrives, and COVID requirements in compliance, as he wears a facial mask and gloves, and social distancing in place. He quickly goes through the process of diagnosing the refrigerator/freezer. He noted the following: door gaskets torn and need replacement causing ice buildup with the leakage of air; thermostat control and sensor were stuck and needed to be replaced; plus labor. Total estimated cost to repair was not feasible as compared to just buying a new one. Justin presented us all the options and his suggestion, but ultimately, the decision was ours. We decided to purchase a new fridge, as our existing one was already 12 years old, and cost wise, it was more practical to buy one. We then asked Justin our many questions: what brand he would recommend, comparison of brands, where to buy, what to look for, whether to get the extended warranty, refrigerator life, etc. He also noted that major appliances such as fridges don't last as long as they used to, as environmentally friendly materials are now used which may compromise the durability of parts used in them. He patiently provided us with so much information that it made it so much easier to narrow down our choices for our next fridge, which we did purchase and will be delivered in a month. Justin then noted that because we paid $99 for the house call that can be applied to repairs, he offered to melt all the ice crystals in our freezer and grout our gaskets to seal them as a temporary fix until we get our new fridge. He stayed for another hour just to do this, as well as answer any further questions that we had. Just $99 and nothing more! We were so pleased with the service that Justin provided! He was well trained by his father and very knowledgeable about fridges. What was important to us was how honest and genuine he was, as we trusted him with the info that he provided us. He was professional, reliable, helpful, polite, and humble in his actions. Loved that he was on time and worked quickly and efficiently to diagnose the problem. And the price charged for what was done was very reasonable. AAR services most major household appliances, including clothes washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves and ovens. They service the following brands: Kenmore, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Electrolux, KitchenAid, Amana, Maytag, Bosch, Miele, Wolf, Gagganao, Subzero, Thermador, and Asko. However, they do not repair the following brands: LG, Samsung, GE Monogram and Fisher Paykel. Service area is from Pearl City to Hawaii Kai and Kailua/Kaneohe only. Hours of operation are 9a to 4p, Mon. to Fri. If repair work is done, there is a warranty of 30 days for labor and 1 year for parts. We're so glad to have found this reputable business that can address our future household appliance repairs! The 5-star Yelp rating is legit and well deserved! Thank you to AAS for the amazing service that they provided! read more

Ace Appliance Service - Justin checking our fridge - Appliances & Repair Near Me

See all

Not a customer supporting company. They are only interested in their benefits. They don't work on home protection related work. They fix one thing and wait 24 hours to see if the job they did work or not. If it doesn't work, then they come back to fix more. It is so inconvenient and costly. read more

I believe this is a family business. The woman I spoke to in order to create the service appt was very nice and responsive to vmails I left. Justin arrived for the appt and was also very nice. He had to order a part. Once the part arrived, he and his father both came to complete the repair. Both came equipped with everything they needed, removed shoes, brought in blanket to protect my flooring - none of which I had to ask for. Very nice and respectful family. They will be who I call if ever I need my appliances repaired in the future. read more

I have repeatedly used Ace Appliance for repair of kitchen appliances and found Justin to be a highly professional technician concerned foremost with fixing the problem, whether that be repairing the device or suggesting that purchase of a new item through an independent vendor is the better option. In addition, he provides detailed explanations and answers all questions thoroughly and patiently, all for a reasonable fee. An overall excellent service that I highly recommend. read more

This is a local family business run with aloha. Lynn responded to our voice message within a short time and was efficient, friendly and extremely polite. Justin is a wiz at refrigerators. Best of all, they provide excellent service at reasonable cost. On this occasion, our Bosch icemaker had stopped working so we contacted Ace because they had previously repaired our prior refrigerator and provided excellent service. Justin came over to evaluate the problem and provided us with our options in an understandable manner. Our icemaker is now working like new and we couldn't be happier. read more

Justin was the technician that came to repair my Whirlpool dishwasher which ran through its cycle but just didn't "woosh" in the wash cycle. I was prepared for the bad news and got it. He thoroughly explained what was wrong, the warnings, the cost and about warranties. But wait, I go to the other room to get my checkbook and "woosh-woosh"! Justin somehow, with his arsenal of equipment got my dishwasher to work. So glad I got a guy with a lot of repair experience and that he tried a technique that seemed to have surprised him that actually worked on my frozen machine. They are a busy repair company so expect a 7-12 day wait. Lady receptionist and communication was excellent. Thanks. read more

Ace Appliance Service - Smart repair man! - Appliances & Repair Near Me

Allan is very thorough with making sure everything is working. Highly recommend great customer service.

Very best experience I've had with appliance repair, ever. Dishwasher not working properly in new apartment; called Monday morning, date set for Wednesday afternoon. Justin arrived on time, identified the Bosch dishwasher as 1999 model, listened and determined circulation motor not working, took apart the minimum to detect it was frozen, was able to un-freeze it, tested and showed it worked, educated me about the machine and how and where to get a new one while he listened to it, wrote down stores to replace it if necessary. And charged me only for the show-up and first 30 minute flat rate, very reasonable. The machine is now working and I understand what to do. What a classy and effective person and company. read more

Justin was so thorough repairing and maintaining my Bosch washer and dryer. He was kind enough to share tips on what to look for to better operate the machines and I learned they only last about 7 years so it might be time to plan for new machines soon. The price was great for the time he spent. I'll definitely call again to do better maintenance going forward! read more

I was having issues with my refrigerator ice maker for some time. The ice maker wouldn't cube the ice anymore and it would come out in clumps. There were times when it would get stuck and I would need to open the ice bin inside my refrigerator to try to loosen it up so it could drop. With French doors that can't fully open because of the wall right next to it (thanks previous owners), the ice bin is rather hard to get into, but luckily my arms aren't too big and I managed to clear it out by jamming my arm in there. The condensation would also drip down through the dispenser and sometimes overflow if I wasn't home to clean up the water or leave a rag to absorb it all. While irritating, I just dealt with it and never bothered to call someone to take a look at it. But while in conversation with my building manager one day, he happened to highly recommend Ace Appliance Service for appliance troubles so I decided to give them a call. This is a family run business. Lynne (the mother of the family) fields the calls coming in. She retrieves all the pre-appointment information (e.g., model, serial number) needed for them to have an idea of what the problem is. Keep in mind that while they service most brands (Kenmore, Whirlpool, Fridgidaire, Electrolux, KitchenAid, Amana, Maytag, Bosch, Miele, Wolf, Gagganau, Subzero, Thermador, Asko and Major Home Appliance Repairs - clothes washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves and ovens), there are brands that they do NOT service (Samsung, LG, Fisher Paykel, GE Monogram brand appliances). They are pretty busy, so you may not be able to secure an appointment until a week or two later. Justin (the son in the family) came to my home to service my ice maker. He called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. While young, he is very knowledgeable about appliances. He talks you through the issues your appliance may be going through and the types of options you could look into, as well as options that would just be a waste of money and time so you don't have to bother. Basically what I learned is that no matter what type of refrigerator you buy, the life of the appliance isn't very long and you'll always run into the same type of issues (e.g. ice clumping, water freezing inside, water condensation that drips through the dispenser). So unless you have a $20,000+ refrigerator, it's probably more cost effective to just buy a new one rather than repairing it for a temporary fix. Justin took off the door of my refrigerator so he could pull out the whole ice bin and defrost it as some water had frozen over in it, which was causing it to not cube the ice anymore. He also took a look further back to see if there were any other issues lurking, but he said luckily it looked okay considering my refrigerator was already 6 years old. So while I feel like I paid a lot for him to basically clear out (which I had already been doing, but in just a harder way) and unfreeze my ice bin, I was thankful that he explained a lot of the other issues that could happen and whether it would be worth it to get it repaired or not. While I did my best to follow along what he was telling me, I will admit some of it went over my head. It was nice that he wrote down a summary of all the things we talked about on my invoice so that I would have a record of it to look back on later. He actually recommended to just turn off my refrigerator's ice maker to avoid any future problems and buy a countertop ice maker from Costco. This is my current solution to ice making for the time being. Still trying to decide if I want to make it my permanent solution, though. It's a little sad to know that no matter what brand or type of appliance you buy, they're always going to give you issues. For something that you spend quite some money on, you'd think you'd get a better value. But if you do run into issues, Ace Appliance Service is the company to call should you own one of the brands that they service. They won't try to overcharge you or try to get you to keep calling them if unnecessary. They provide guidance on what steps you should take next. Friendly, helpful, genuine, professional...everything you need when you're in need of help with things that you don't understand. read more

This is the third time I have called Ace for one of my appliances, and they have never let me down. This time it was for my old washing machine. Lynn, the office manager, was efficient and helpful in scheduling an appointment as soon as possible, as we were stuck with a half filled washing machine that wouldn't drain, and that I was afraid it would get mildewy. Justin was able to efficiently, diagnose the issue and replace the part. The labor cost was reasonable and, thrillingly, I was able to use the washing machine the same day. Two thumbs up, and would definitely call them again. read more

The business owner came personally after "normal" work hours to help get our fridge freezer working again before we had to throw out all our food! He also took the time to explain everything and didn't leave until he knew it was working. read more

Knowledgeable, timely... Needed a part repaired on our new oven that had just left warranty, they were good about providing guidance to see if the company would still help us out, and had fair pricing when we ultimately had to cover it on our own. While I'm not as impressed with Bosch home appliances, the good news is that almost everything in our home is from Bosch - so when they inevitably break down, now we know who to call for repairs! Highly recommended - will definitely use again (but hopefully we don't need to any time soon ) read more

I contacted this family business for help repairing my gas range. For $150 service fee they came out and checked to see what the problem was. They were supposed to order a part and get back to me. They did not. I sent a follow up emails and called several times. No answer. Don't waste your $150 for nothing. UPDATE - this company made things right. Alan installed the needed and still under warranty part and my stove is working perfectly. No charge because I waited so long. Covid has all essential service providers working overtime. I appreciate Ace makings things right. read more

I wish there were more reliable and professional repair people like Ace Appliance Service. When I first called them, I spoke to Lynne who was able to set up an appointment for my refrigerator. Justin came and was able to diagnose the problem I had. A week and a half later, the parts were ordered and Justin and his Father came out to complete the repair of my refrigerator. These people are genuine, honest, and reliable. Family owned and highly recommended! read more

Our oven was acting strangely, so we called Ace Appliance, which has fixed other appliances for us in the past. When we explained the nature of the problem, Lynne suggested that repair may not be necessary. She instructed us to shut off the power and wait a few minutes. And she was right--the oven was restored to normal operation by that quick fix. She could have just sent someone out to repair the oven but put our interests ahead of business. Thank you. read more

My Bosch dishwasher stopped emptying water after a wash cycle creating a big mess and making it unusable. The DW was 18 years old but it looked and ran like new...until now. After a series of phone calls and online quote requests, it turns out only a few repair companies will work on Bosch appliances. Ace Appliance service repairs Bosch: For a fixed diagnostic fee they will come out and check it out and of course apply the fee to the repair. Expert Diagnostics: Justin systematically checked the operation and concluded the drain tube was clogged and attempted to unclog it. He gave me a quote for further unclogging efforts and possible part replacement including labor. Advice: He could repair it but it would not be cost-efficient since it was 18 years old. A new DW would probably made more sense because it would cost about the same as the repair. Long story short: Lynne, the dispatcher, communicated quickly and clearly and gave me a same-day appointment. I had the option to repair or replace. But Justin was obviously experienced and knowledgable. I should have figured this out myself...realistically any 18 year old appliance may not be worth fixing. I just couldn't accept that my quiet reliable most favorite DW needed replacement. He worked hard to try to unclog it. I'm glad I found Ace Appliance and they will be the first call I make in the future. Be Aware: There are certain brands that they will and will not repair. So check the list online. Also there are some geographic limits on their service area, Let them know where you live. Also, locate your model number and serial number for faster service. read more

I had a fridge leak that kept pooling and a quick search led me to Ace Family Appliance. Though they were quite busy, they were easy to reach and offered either an urgent or regular house call to fit my needs and scheduling. After getting the model and serial number, they explained pricing clearly and even offered to send me a text reminder the day before. Alan came by within the estimated time frame and was quick to diagnosis and immediately clear out the clogged drainage. He was very knowledgeable and clearly explained the problem and summarized what he did. He also went ahead and checked to see if I still had a warranty beforehand. Like an expert, he also noticed my gaskets needing changing before I even got to ask and was able to quote me for that on the spot. He finished the job and was gone within an hour. Overall, Alan and Ace Family Appliance were quick, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely turn to them again for future repair needs! read more

Great phone response, friendly, considerate, charged me as quoted, and did an awesome job. They were also recommended by other companies that weren't available. What more could you want? read more

I didn't realize how hard it is to find someone to repair Bosch appliances and I'm so glad I found Ace Appliance Service to do the job! Lynne was very nice when I scheduled the repair over the phone. Luckily they fit me in within a week and showed up right on time. Alan temporarily fixed my issue while we wait for the new part. I couldn't be happier and definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a repair. read more

The tech came out and diagnosed my Microwave problem, replaced the worn part and was finished in less than a half hour, beautiful!!!

I used Ace Appliance Service when a client's Bosch glass stovetop was not operating properly. I believe they are a family business. Their immediate response and excellent service is the reason they deserve a 5-Star rating. Justin came out to assess the problem and clearly explained what the problem was. Even more impressive was their complete honesty that while the stove could be repaired, replacing it would be in our best interest cost wise. Furthermore, Justin guided us to a company which offered a stove comparable to the one my client had. More importantly, he provided us with the all the measurements of the old stovetop, so that we could provide that information when purchasing a new stovetop. Because of Justin's help, I was able to easily purchase a new stovetop for my client without any modifications having to be made to the countertop. read more

Bad experience. We phoned to have them look at the 'down draft' which is a fan connected to our stove. We knew it was broken, we thought Ace could fix it. So the worker shows up. Spends an hour or so working on it. Tells us it is broken (which we already knew). Suggested may be better for us to replace it , but that he would come back to us with a quote for potentially repairing it. Nearly 3 weeks have gone by. Never followed up with a quote, or even to tell us that he is unable to fix it. So we paid $209 to have him tell us our appliance is broken, which we already knew. Waste of time and money (for us) though good deal for Ace I guess. read more

Ace Appliance services and repairs all makes and models of appliances, including the brands I have such as Sub-Zero with very detailed recommendations on how to handle my Bosch & Kuppersbusch. Appliance repair technician, Alan Tsugawa, and wife Lynne are the founders and have added their son Justin to their family business. Lynn, is warm, genuinely caring and respectful of people and understands how valuable time can be. Which is important because she is your first point of contact, handling the scheduling. Alan has come to my home on three occasions and I must stay he is very trustful, knowledgeable and pleasant. He is a genius at diagnosis, cost evaluation, repairing and resolution. On one occasion, he brought his son, Justin to assist. They were an amazing team! Always leaving the area clean, neat and with proper explanation of the work that was completed both verbally and in writing. The part about in writing becomes extremely valuable when hubby arrives home and you try to explain the details of parts etc... On the last occasion of Alan's visit, he felt like a family member. I could not be at home with him due to a work conflict but felt comfortable to leave him in my home alone, handle the payment in my absence and keep the area spotless. It's wonderful to feel that comfortable trust with service technicians, but, I suspect in the islands not unusual. On all three occasions this business has left me ecstatic about their professionalism, time sensitivity, cost and support of small business on Hawaii! . read more

Family is everything, and this business shows what a good family business can do - professional, aloha spirit, highly responsive, efficient, practical, and HONEST. Sent out a ln estimate request on Yelp to multiple companies, but Ace replied within the hour and was corresponding with me with pricing and timing for a house call to assess issue. Got an appointment, they sent me a reminder to confirm...gave me a very reasonable 2 hour window for arrival, then Justin (the repair tech) called since he was available earlier (how refreshing!), diagnosed the issue and gave me practical feedback on life of parts and recommendation to replace instead of fix while still giving me ALL my options.
