I plugged the holes with some space age polymer I found in the hardware store and that worked for a few months. After that fix no longer worked we called Combined Appliances. They replaced the old disposal with a new disposal and gave us clear instructions on how to keep the disposal in top condition. No bones! (Who puts bones in the garbage disposal other than serial killers?) Roughly 7 years later and my "new" garbage disposal was leaking, this time from a different area, but I knew it meant we needed a replacement. 7 years of almost daily use is a pretty good run. Again, we called CA and they came when they said they would, they fixed the problem, and again reminded us proper disposal usage. I have nothing negative to say about the company. They did what they were hired to do.

My installer had to go to a hardware store to buy the part adding another hour to my installation bill. Coast Appliances has lots of rules that favours their company but nothing that helps the customer. I have called countless times, left messages each time, finally wrote an e-mail as their robot message machine suggested. Manager called me, left a message while I was unavailable. That was 2 weeks ago. More calls, more messages. It is not an expensive part but the extra hour added to my bill is. I should not have to pay the installer for that extra hour. Where is your rule that keeps your customers satisfied? Be aware that they have No Follow Up once the machine leaves their store.

These guys win for BBQ knowledge…read more Over the course of one year, I've dealt with them on multiple things. So it's taken me this long to write a review. They have parts. They have accessories They have BBQ's And a whole heckava lot of other stuff, and I don't know where to start. To make a long story short, I'm about to embark on smoking. Or in Texan terms, a southern BBQ. We're talking a 4-10 hour session of smoking of a side of brisket, depending on size. I got some advice and tips from them. Marinating tips and smoking tips. This will be entertaining. My BBQ is about to become a smoker. If you want specialized tips on smoking or BBQ's, I recommend them. They know their stuff. Ample street parking on a not very busy street.

I was nervous about the purchase as I still paid a considerable amount of money for a returned GE stove. A week before Christmas (7 months later) on a Friday I had an issue with a burner. By Monday Anail had a tech onsite to conduct a minor repair (dislodged component in the knob). The same day after the repair (Murphy's law), I had another unrelated issue with the stove not receiving gas after a self clean. I called Anail and he again had a tech onsite the next day diagnosing a fault in the pressure reducing valve. The tech taught me how to repair the problem if it happened again as it is not uncommon for a diagram to stick. A few hours later Anail called me to confirm that I was happy with the repair and informed me that he proactively ordered a new pressure reducing valve for replacement to ensure no future problems occur. I am absolutely happy with Appliance Outlet standing behind their service, product and brand.

I went to buy their recommended parts from their store and i later found out that they had a 50% mark-up on the same parts from competitor. When I asked to return them, they gave me a bullshit excuse that there were no returns on my particular sale -- they were unopened fan-belts. I will start to shop elsewhere. Clean up your act Ilac. We may not be experts, but we aren't fools either. Seriously thought about a formal complaint, but this is good enough.

This guy is a real old fashion craftsman. He knows his business. I can't recommend him enough. PS His prices were fair too.

Customer Service is not existant…read more i was approved a replacement for my dishwasher by Bosch and passed it along to Midland over a week ago. Since then, I've been left chasing Midland down just to get basic information on when and how this will be handled. After finally speaking with Steve - a senior manager--who assured me I'd receive updates--I've heard absolutely nothing. No emails, no calls, no follow-through. Just silence. It's not the delay that's the problem--it's the lack of communication and total absence of accountability. I made it clear I can be patient if I'm kept informed, but that has clearly been ignored. My family of four has been hand-washing dishes three times a day for weeks while Midland fumbles a straightforward replacement. The customer experience has been frustrating, stressful, and entirely avoidable. Bosch did their part. Midland has completely dropped the ball. If this is how they handle service, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Garden Works is central to many areas of the lower mainland of Vancouver​ and is just off Lougheed Highway in the middle of Burnaby.
