I discovered that my GE refrigerator had stopped working overnight. I called Appliance Repair…read moreBarrhaven at 11:00 o'clock and booked a call for noon of the same day. "Andy" called when he was 5 minutes from my door. He investigated the problem, identified the deffective parts, advised me of the cost and made the repairs in short order. Andy was focussed, knowledgeable and efficient.

Our KitchenAid dishwasher had a leak. We bought a new sump assembly, installed and tested. Still…read moreleaking. Call Barrhaven Repair Appliance and set up an appointment. The night before the apt, we get a call saying the guy can't come Monday, have to reschedule for Thursday. Okay fine, shit happens. Guy shows up Thursday and there's negative attitude from the get go, apparently because we never should have ordered the part ourselves. He asks how we installed the "parts". My wife explains that there was 1 assembly, not multiple parts. Answer not good enough. He actually starts arguing with my wife IN MY HOUSE. Mr "I've fixed 600 dishwashers" doesn't know that you can get one complete sump assembly (we got ours from Regional Factory Parts & Service on Antares). By this point, my wife is completely stressed. He tells her that there's a minimum $250 charge. Okaaay, nobody told us that when we made the appointment; only that there's a $75 fee to have somebody show up and that the $75 will offset the final price if we approve the repair. So now they already have $75 of our money. We've been washing dishes by hand for 6 weeks and just want the thing fixed ...so she tells him to go ahead. Turns out the problem was that we hadn't treated the gasket ring with dishwasher soap so poor seal. Who knew? Guy reassembles in 1/2 hr and dishwasher working. So, with tax, it's just cost us $282 (incl tax) for half hour of work. So why am I giving these guys 1 star? 1 reason: shit customer experience. If I had known that there was a flat $250 fee when I first called, and given that I don't need any new parts, I would have called someone else. Comically, the manager I spoke to afterward told me it would have been more expensive if I had gone with someone that charges hourly rate. So there's appliance repair joints charging $500+ /hr? I was born at night but it wasn't last night. Add to that the unwelcome blowback from the technician and, needless to say, we will never do business with ARB again. Couple of pro tips, guys: 1) the customer is always right, 2) when the customer is wrong, see #1.

I had a problem with my dryer not spinning. The problem was diagnosed very quickly. The service…read morewas friendly and honest. Absolutely would use again. There was some drama that I was not aware of when trying to order the replacement part. I deducted one star because I was not informed while this was happening, and was left to think that I had been forgotten, when I clearly wasn't. All in all, my dryer came back to life for half the price of a new one.

Turned out they weren't quite good enough, so parts were ordered that took only two days to come in. Dryer works fine and is quieter than before. Definitely would use this company again.

King Appliance tech set up an appointment and then called me back and actually came 3 hours before the appointed time. The diagnosis was thorough, but we determined that our 10-year old refrigerator was not worth repairing (parts alone were $500 and Samsung timeliness to get the parts was 4 weeks). King's service call charge was a modest $89 all taxes in. Definitely competent and honest, i would use them for any appliance reoairs.

I had a 10 year old Samsung dryer problem related to a TE error code (temperature sensor). I called…read moreAppliance Repair and was given an appointment for the next day. The repairman show up on time and diagnosed the problem very quickly (a thermistor was on the blink). Fortunately he had a replacement one in his truck and installed it. That corrected the problem. The repairman was very nice and explained what needed to be done and did it. He cleaned out the lint that had gotten into the dryer as well as cleaning up his work area. I wish I had taken his name down so I could compliment him in this review. I definitely would recommend this company. The repair cost was reasonable.

We did a kitchen reno about 3 years ago and bought all our appliance from Universal. Tyler (at the…read moretime) was superb and genuine in his follow-through. 5 Stars! Lynne has also been great! The only issue has been our experience with our Kitchen Aid induction cooktop. Thinking of buying one...? Please don't! Our 3-year old cooktop started beeping and shutting down. The Extended Warranty covered the part and after two tries the service contractor called Whirlpool (the granddaddy of all appliance companies!). They said the "part was no longer available!" They meant the Induction top board not the ubiquitous control board. As a result our Induction top/ stove is no longer reparable and is basically junkable! So we are looking to replace a 3 yo stove! So UA gets 5 stars, but Kitchen Aid gets 0! How to compute the review?

The appliance was delivered at 5.30am by a very intimidating man who refused to unpack it or lift it onto the kitchen counter. I am a 60+ year old woman and was alone in the house. His parting comment was thar he expected a positive review of the service. Universal Appliance was totally disinterested in my experience. 5.30am was dark (it was Winter), obviously, I was still in bed, clearly not expecting a delivery. I struggled to lift the appliance and had to ask a neighbour for help. Universal Appliance had said that instillation was covered by the additional cost but were dismissive of my experience. The experience was, quite frankly both disturbing and threatening. I have bought an Aga stove and the Sharp multi function microwave from this company. I will never patronize them again.

Amazing service, no hidden fees and very friendly and knowledgeable staff!…read more I had an issue with my freezer leaking water. After calling about this issue in the morning, I received an on-site appointment scheduled that same day in the afternoon. Further, the technician was able to fix the issue that day, which made our experience even better, considering the time of year (December) and not having to worry about additional parts to be used/ordered. Special thanks to Pavlo! Awesome job.
