My first experience with Dean was when my now 32 -year-old Sub Zero quit working. It had been repaired umpteen times and I've always dreaded the day I would have to replace it. It's built in and I would have to buy another Sub Zero of the same dimensions. A new Sub Zero like mine (single door refrigerator plus freezer drawer) costs as much as a slightly used Honda Accord. Dean triaged me with a next day appointment. Not sure what magic he did, but he fixed it for $95! If I had called the manufacturer's recommended company, I would expect it to have cost 5 times as much. It has worked perfectly until this year, when lots of ice started forming in the freezer. Tyler, who had been trained by Dean came out quickly and recommended I put Vaseline on the gasket, at least until they could order a replacement. It has worked PERFECTLY, no ice, correct temperature. The trip fee was reasonable. Petroleum jelly, $2.68. I can't tell you how happy that makes me as I've been seeing this SubZero as a bomb that would go off one day and wipe out my bank account. They have also repaired my built-in microwave/convection oven that would cost more than $1200 to replace (plus a new trim kid. I didn't know anyone repaired microwaves anymore because they're so cheaply made. (My Sharp Carousel from 198 lasted 22 years, weighed a ton and was repaired a few times.) The cost was $135. Now you may be thinking, "She could get a new microwave for that price." But not a combination convection/micro that fit this particular custom cabinet. Appliance manufacturers change things so that it's hard to repair, hard to replace without remodeling the kitchen. Appliance Dean saved me again. I'm sorry I didn't know about him three dishwashers ago. I will count on him when my Thermidor cooktop takes a dive. It is a drop-in of odd dimensions and I have a granite countertop that can't be modified. I have to tell you I'm still conflicted about posting this (which I know is a lack of character on my part). But Appliance Dean is the trifecta of appliance repair: Competent. Honest. Reliable. Oh, and Dean's wonderful wife Gabriel answers phone, texts and always wants to help. Dean himself has started a new business, but he has left his company in good hands. The only mistake, that I must report, is that when my Kenmore Elite washer (2003) seemed to be leaking, Dean suggested it wasn't worth repairing and advised me to buy a new one. My plumber was here a few days into my search for new washer/dryer and checked it out. All that was needed was a new intake valve ($57) plus 1/2 hour of time. So Dean was wrong on that one and I guess I could ask for a refund on the trip fee and would probably get it. Good people. read more
