Jorge came out to price out to fix microwave. He quoted the 600 something dollars…read more He said 2 weeks the part would arrive, 2 weeks turned into several weeks. This went on for a long time, I really wanted my microwave fixed, so I was very patience. Until finally I ask for my refund, he gave me some story about the manufacturer not refunding him the funds that originally zelled him. He told it would take 14 business days to refund him and he would refund me. Long story short, he refunded me 400.00 dollars, the rest he said would refund me in 2 weeks, I guess if I don't reach out to him he will never refund me. I just said to him don't bother just keep the rest of the money. People be careful doing business with this guy.

I payed him in full to order the part, that he told me would be in 3-5 business days. Well that turned into a week and a half. After telling me he had the part, he still wanted me to wait for him to install it. When I told him I couldn't wait any longer and return my money, he started cursing and threatening me! All I could do was say, WOW! He did return the money for the part, (which was over $400 dollars), but I couldn't believe someone who is supposed to be an owner could be soooo unprofessional! In my opinion this business is TRASH!!!!! With a TRASH! Owner. Don't give him money upfront!!!!!

Knowledgeable and Trustworthy!…read more I have a 15+ year old refrigerator that neither the refrigerator or freezer were working. Akai inspected the entire unit and indicated the issue was the defroster in the freezer wasn't working and needed to be replaced. He quoted me what I thought was a very fair price but before I could say "Shut up and take my money!" he added that when he had unplugged the unit & plugged it back in, when starting up again the compressor sounded a bit suspicious. Thus he indicated I could go ahead and pay him to install a new defroster in the freezer, but it is only a matter of time before the compressor craps out and then replacing it would be over $1,000 and not worth it. So get this....he proposes that I defrost it the old school way by unplugging it, opening both the freezer & fridge doors, placing towels in front of the unit, and allowing all of the ice to melt and then just mop up all the water with towels and my wet vac and that would solve the problem for now. And in a few months when the issue occurs again I can just repeat the old school defrosting method until the compressor finally goes kaput, and then get a brand new refrigerator. Sure enough, I proceeded to do exactly what he recommended and lo and behold the fridge & freezer started working properly again. And I am all too happy to repeat every few months to squeeze every last bit of life from this old fridge until I have to get a new one. Akai could have very easily kept quiet about the compressor sounding sketchy and that it could fail in 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years and gotten a nice service order for replacing the defroster since he had already devoted the valuable time & effort to come to my house. However, he instead chose to be completely honest and forthcoming which is not as common as it should be and is very appreciated. I have saved his contact info and the next time I have any issues with any appliances he will be the technician I call. Knowledge and experience is great and there are a lot of qualified & knowledgeable appliance repair companies out there. However, also possessing honesty and integrity is why I strongly recommend Akai for any appliance repair issues.

He is very knowledgeable about different appliances and he knew mine right away and he had an idea what it could be and sure enough it was the soap & softener dispenser.

Worth it for my peace of mind & also made sure I knew where my water shut off was just in case. These are good things to know , most people might not & that I'm a woman & older, it's good to know. Plus it doesn't hurt to have my machine looked at after 16 years. I've been here so I won't be afraid to use my washing machine so thank you AKIA.

The good: Reasonable prices, friendly technicians, were able to be booked on short notice…read more The bad: I caught a mistake myself that would have caused some drywall damage if I didn't convince/ show them before the left. In summary, my laundry room was recently painted and the dryer vent ducting came out of the back of the machine. I tried to fix it myself but when I pushed the machine back against the wall the duct kept coming off. Unfortunately I found this out by leaking a whole dryer load worth of hot air into my house (fortunately we have an electric dryer so it wasn't bad fumes). Anyways, I yelped around to find a good local company, and strawberry appliance was able to make it out within a few hours. The guys were friendly, replaced the duct from the wall to the machine with a more pliable one so that would stop coming undone, and all this went well. The issue was the connection on the opposite side of the wall had come undone from the work they did, so essentially all the hot air wouldn't have ducted directly outside. I'm sure this would have caused some moisture issues, and I would have expected them to check that before they wrapped up, but they appreciated me catching it and were able to quickly and easily fix it. Overall I would use them again, but would keep an eye out as they haven't fully gotten my trust yet due to the one mistake on the one time they came out.

The compressor worked for thirty minutes, and stopped turning on again. I did a little research, and found out the part he used, (a $19 part I payed $60 for) is a band aid at best, and it's used to get some more life out of the fridge. I'm fine with that, except I was not notified of this by the mechanic at all, and the full ticket was $170 ($60 for the part, 69 for the call out fee, and 30 bucks for the labor plus taxes). When I called them, I was told they would come back out, but they would charge me another call out fee if it wasn't the part that failed. The owner was rude and condescending, and essentially said there was nothing she could do to help me. I will never call them out again.
