Thankfully, I didn't wait longer for their call-back, and instead found an individual who lives in my area, and was able to repair my washing machine repair. DK never did call back, so I'm glad I didn't wait too long for them. Also, DK is just a booking service in Santa Maria, with a list of technicians in multiple towns.

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!

Nevertheless, it cost $140. How much did Yost pay for it? Its installation--in under thirty minutes--cost $155. Was that the labor rate? No, for Yost charges by the job, not by the hour. Would I pay $155 for a job lasting an hour, then? Yost answered that, no, I would pay about double for it! The owner couldn't fathom that that discrepancy is indicative of a labor charge. Was I gouged? I think so.
