The technician did not give me a price estimate for the second visit. He just said I would be charged for the part and labor but no actual price. This money would have been better put towards a new washer. I have corrected the price in my original posting. I had difficulty reading the handwriting. You can see the two charges for two different visits.

He quickly diagnosed the problem with my dryer and had the necessary part available to fix the problem immediately.

We will be using this business in the future and am very happy to have made the connection. Sometimes it is hard to find good, reliable technicians so just call Avi!

My refrigerator stopped making ice and was pumping in warm air…read more I reached out to a few appliance repair businesses but settled on Better Place Appliances as their availability was later in the day and that fit my schedule. I was told $65 for the service call but that would be rolled into the bill should I go with them for the repair. He (Avi) arrived as scheduled and went straight to work. I already had the back panel off and the refrigerator clean and pulled out ready for work. It took him close to an hour but he got it up and running by adding a part that got my compressor going. He was very nice and helpful. However, at the end of the service he couldn't give me an invoice and charged me $350. Not sure what the cost breakdown is but it seemed a little high but I couldn't have fixed it myself so my ignorance cost me. But hey, it is cheaper than a new refrigerator.

However, when he came to install it, he discovered the kit had already been installed (years before).

Dr. Tom Appliances Repair was the only one who responded right away and was able to schedule us quickly. Tom came out and diagnosed the problem fast. He was very professional, clear in his communication, and everything was explained thoroughly. What really stood out is that the part needed would have taken about five days to arrive if ordered, and we were honestly considering just buying a new dryer because of the wait. Tom understood our situation and went out of his way to get the part himself. He came back the very next day and completed the repair. Everything turned out exactly as expected, and the pricing was very fair. We truly appreciate how he took our concerns and timeline into consideration. Thank you again, Tom, for going above and beyond to take care of this so quickly for us. Highly recommend!

DO NOT RECOMMEND YOST APPLIANCE REPAIR…read more Last week, I contacted Yost Appliance to service my Whirlpool refrigerator ice maker, which had stopped making ice. An appointment was scheduled, and a technician came to my home to diagnose the problem. Within approximately 10 minutes, the technician identified two broken wires that were preventing the ice maker from working. However, I was told that the wiring could not be repaired. I was charged a $150 service fee, and the technician left without making any repair. The following day, I examined the wiring myself. In approximately 45 minutes, I was able to reconnect the two broken wires using electrical crimp connectors, completing the circuit. The ice maker immediately began making ice again and has been working properly since. I subsequently contacted Yost Appliance to ask why the wiring could not be repaired when I was able to repair it myself. I received no response. I also sent a text message expressing my concern and, as of today, have received no response to that either. I understand that a service technician may determine that a repair is not practical or within the company's scope of work. However, in this case, I was particularly disappointed that I was charged $150 for a 10-minute visit, was told the problem could not be repaired, and then received no explanation when I followed up. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Yost Appliance Repair. I would strongly suggest getting a second opinion before authorizing a service call or repair.
