Family run and professional. Get things done. Don't be surprised if the owner Jim shows up with his family members to fix whatever needs fixing in your home. Be friendly and Jim will entertain you with cool stories about his service from back in the day! They don't make people like this anymore, be nice to them. read more

Called Friday morning because my refrigerator was leaking and I needed it fixed before going out of town. Derek came by that same afternoon. Very professional and competent. Diagnosed the problem. Went to get parts and came back later to fix the Thermador refrigerator. Fantastic service and reasonable pricing. I highly recommend Coastside Technical Services. read more

Super fast and friendly - came the afternoon we called and fixed our dishwasher in 30 minutes!

I needed my gas wall furnaces checked and the wall thermostats to be replaced. I received prompt service by two friendly and knowledgeable technicians who adjusted valves and cleaned the inside of my furnace wall units. I appreciated their fast service and expertise in solving my heating problems. Their price was reasonable and the peace of mind knowing I have safe furnaces is priceless. I highly recommend Coastside Technical Service. read more

they were super fast and did exactly what they needed to for a good price to. the people were really nice 10/10

This company was recommended by a few people on NextDoor so I called. Three weeks since I called, they have cancelled my appointment because of a sick employee but then they tell me it will be another 9 days. Basically putting me now again at the bottom of the list. If they can't do the service they should tell the customers. I counted on them. I have not had a refrigerator working for three weeks. They tell me they'll work on it and then 3 days later and no call back to date. Horrible company. read more

Easy to schedule appointment although it was a week out. Fixed our dryer quickly and easily. 100% the company to use if you're a Coastsider. read more

Excellent service and very professional The crew that arrived were right on time and were able to assess the problem and fix it in a very short amount of time. Getting ahold of them was a bit challenging, but don't give up because they have been slammed with calls and will call you back read more

Our dryer wasn't heating up, so we called Coastside Technical Services. Derek was our technician, and knew exactly what to look for. Took less than 30 minutes for him to install a new fuse, and clean up the area, etc. Works beautifully, and the price was very reasonable! read more

See all

To follow Up, I've had Derek do a few more jobs. He's the best. Thank you so much for having such great customer service and an amazing employee. read more

Unfortunately we have had two appliances break in the last 6 months - AND fortunately I have called Coastside Technical both times!! The scheduling with Julie was easy and she promptly called me after Derek left to get me on the schedule for when the part would arrive! And Derek is excellent. He was extremely diligent with Covid precautions to start...and he went above and beyond to explain what was wrong with both my oven and dryer in terms that I could understand. He is authentic and honest! I highly recommend calling Coastside Technical, they are great to work with. read more

I liked Coastside Technical Services so much, I added their number to my actual phone contacts. Not just a yelp bookmark. The service call was like having a knowledgeable neighbor come over to fix something. I worked with Julia to get on the schedule, and Derek came for the service appointment. I initially emailed about my furnace throwing blink codes instead of spitting fire. I got an immediate response from Julia, sent over a few details, and then BAM! scheduled. Derek came out, diagnosed the problem, and had it fixed in less than an hour. He was polite, friendly and professional throughout. Derek took some extra time to help me understand the immediate problem, and potentially related problems that may occur in the future. BONUS POINTS: Derek showed up with PPE on (gloves and mask), and was very mindful about hygiene and social distancing. Derek kept his mask and gloves on throughout, even when I went outside. read more

Could not have been more pleased. This is the 2nd time I've used their services. Very responsive, professional and reasonably priced. Jim was quick to respond to my request and Derek handled this issues like a pro! John Clinton read more

My heating system needed fixing, and the ducts needed cleaning so my heating repair guy recommended Coastside. I read such positive reviews of the company on Yelp, so was excited to get them here. Unfortunately, I have been extremely disappointed by the level of customer service. The agreement was to clean 8 ducts in the house, but when I came home, I found that only 6 of the ducts were cleaned. There was no phone call, note, or even an invoice to explain what had happened. In addition, the two guys who came in broke a sculpture and the house was left in a disarray where they moved furniture to get to the vents. They also replaced an air filter (without asking) that had just been replaced 2 days before, then they charged me for it. The replacement also clanks noisily every single time the heater turns on, which it didn't before, and the noise is maddening each time (we have had some long cold spells recently too!). I called Michelle because of all the problems I noticed above, and also because I needed a copy of the invoice (they had gone ahead and charged me an astronomical amount for things that weren't necessary to be fixed). She said the company had been in business for over 20 years, but that doesn't resolve any of the issues above. I wish I could say I had a better experience with them, but if you want your house destroyed then get charged for it, call them. read more

Derek fixed the latch on the drawers below our washer and dryer and repaired our freezer. He is young but seems to have the knowledge and expertise of someone who has been working in this field for decades. He is friendly and considerate and goes above and beyond, giving lots of free advice. He even gave me a free sample of dishwasher cleaner. The office personnel are great too. I always get an appointment sooner than expected. read more

finally....a repair service that actually delivers good, honest services. I've used Coastside Tech for three different repairs, and have found them to give excellent service at a very fair price. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I have hired Coastside Technical for several different needs. Determining if an ancient fridge could be fixed... (the part cost more than the fridge) trouble shooting a dryer... (he did), installing a washing machine... saving me from a leaking dishwasher after it was improperly installed by a Sears contractor.... Coastside Technical's folks show up when they say they will, take their time to do the job right, and try to save me money where they can. They are highly knowledgeable and completely reliable. read more

1 star for discovering our heater was broken and advising us it was unsafe to use. Absolutely 0 stars for the fact that it's been over a month and a half since our heater stopped working and we're still waiting on an /estimate/ to replace it. It took a week to get someone onsite to initially check the heater. Then another 1.5 weeks for the owner to come out to do maintenance (and then discover it was broken). It's now been over 2 weeks just waiting for a call back on an estimate for a replacement. When the technicians are here, it's been good service. Getting ahold of them and actually getting them scheduled to show up is ridiculous. read more

Christmas Eve our furnace stopped. Jim Holsman came out the day after Christmas, diagnosed the problem [dead condensation pump] made an interim fix then returned for the final. He was very responsive, knew just what to troubleshoot, and showed up on a day when no one else even answered their phones. read more

Coastside Technical Services are the best, our water heater bit the dust during the weekend!!! I called them first thing Monday morning and the nice receptionist me that the next available date they had wouldn't be until the following week, I explained to her that we were without any hot water and that cold showers were not fun, she told me that she was going to check to see if someone could help me sooner that next week and after a few minutes she called me back to let me know that somebody was coming out today take a look. That same afternoon a technician came to my house and they took the old heater out, a brand new one was installed on Tuesday afternoon and we have hot water! They did a marvelous job and I very much appreciate their professionalism and thank them for being so prompt. The young man who did most of the installation was very polite and thorough. read more

We need more Technicians like Derek, I'm not only giving him a 5 star rating; he gets 10 Stars ********** he went over and beyond to make sure our refrigerator was working, we had a minor error that came up causing our fridge to go into error mode. We called Derek he quickly responded and at 9pm. He told us, I'm on my way it will be 30 to 40 mins, he arrived assessed the problem and fixed it, not only did he fix it he explained all the details about what he did. That's service! If you're looking for a great company to fix your appliance...this is the one. read more

My water heater stopped working and I could not get it re-lit. The tech came over, explained the "trick," and re-lit the unit. He was there for 5 minutes and said he would not charge me. Well, I got a bill for $150 and the office folks said "we always charge for our services" and the tech denied that he ever said that. Nice guy but slimey business practices. I will not use them again. read more

Service fixed our dishwasher and made it convenient for us by getting the part and having it fixed without us having to wait for hours for them to be here they said the time and they took care of it without a lot of drama. read more

We had the kind of week that every homeowner dreads...the washer broke, the dryer broke and then the dishwasher stopped running. Ugh. Each of the techs that came out were super helpful and incredibly professional.They were on time and efficient. AND they stand by their work! read more

I would give this company no stars if the Yelp application allowed it. CTS "fixed" my furnace and it worked for about 6 weeks after they left. I had another firm come in and inform me that the CTS "repairs" involved replacing one of two components dependent upon one another - they replaced the gas igniter w/o replacing the gas valve. According to the 2nd, much more professional company, no COMPETENT HVAC technician would ever recommend doing that. Which means CTS charged me $300 for doing NOTHING USEFUL. 4 months later I start getting "Past Due" letters from CTS because they say they added-up the bill incorrectly and they really should have charged me $400 for their USELESS work and would I "please send them a check?" for $100. Stay away from this company. read more
