The business responded the same day we inquired about their services. He requested additional information about the problem or any error codes that may have appeared. A time and day was agreed upon, which was a Monday. The tech arrived a little early and started diagnostics right away. The issue was resolved same day preparedness and efficiency. read more

I have a double oven that is basically obsolete. Best iven I ever owned. DACOR was brought out by Samsung. My lower oven wouldnt work so I called OC appliance repair Doon to be known as APLCE in September. Today November 29th the repairs have been completed. In September we were loving in another country and Joshua went above and beyond to help us out. He told us what we were up against in the beginning. He gave us a 2 tiered quote based on the probabilities and his quote was spot on. He searched for months to find the parts. Several parts deliveries did not pan out but Joshua was on top of things. Once he received the correct parts Joshua performed the repairs within 48 hours. The work was done professionally and responsibly, Joshua took precautions to protect the hardwood floors, cabinets and surroundings. He was very neat, courteous and mindful the entire time. Upon completion Joshua told me that he noticed a break in the cabinet and took complete responsibility. The thing is, tne break was there before Joshua began the job. The parts turned out to be more expensive than his initial quote and Joshua made sure to come to an agreement that satisfied us both. I was very impressed with the work ethic and level of responsibility. APLCE will definitely be my only choice. read more

Do not do business with this company! As described in another review, they are simply a middleman with horrible customer service. It is August, and I have been waiting for repairs, which I've already partially paid, since April 22. I've called multiple times only to be hung up on and purposely put on hold. read more

***This company is a FRAUD operating under a number of business names.*** READ THIS BEFORE CONTACTING THIS COMPANY Like many of you, I responded to "OC Appliance Repair" from here on YELP. I called them and never clicked on their website that shows on the top right of their YELP page. (see my attached photos, which supports all this) If you do, you'll notice it brings you to a "https://ocapplianceservice.com/" their logo on this page is "AAR" Which stands for "American Appliance Repair". on the top of that page you'll see a series of phone numbers: "(714) 482.5581, (949) 943.1542, (888) 349.4820". The 888-349-4820 is listed on the the "American Appliance Repair" Yelp page and their website: www.vipapplianceservice.com. If you look at the Yelp page for AAR (American Appliance Repair) you will see those review (84 of them, all negative) follow the same foot print of the negative reviews on THIS Yelp (OC Appliance Repair) page. Which OC Appliance Repair claims they didn't service the people who left the negative review (ironic), stating competitors are responsible for these negative reviews, which as you can see if false and fraudulent misrepresentation of OC Appliance Repair. The negative reviews on this page are from REAL people just like YOU (and now me). In the event they respond to this review claiming they didn't service me, and that I'm a competitor... I've attached my initial quote/deposit receipt. Compare this with the other screen shots I've attached and you can see these people are the same people and clearly crooks. With all that said, they were supposed to repair my Samsung Dryer... claiming the motor was bad. However what they put into the dryer worked for only for few days and now when you turn the dryer on, it's sounds like a train (literally) and smells like gas (not good). I should mention that they missed the first appointment we had set for them to come out and repair it. Well today is July 11th, and AGAIN they didn't show and didn't call. I spoke with them yesterday and was assured they would be here between 2-5pm today to repair their work. Nope, no show. I called numerous times, only once did someone pick up, but then they hung up on me. I'll upload screen shots and if Yelp accepts video, you'll hear the dryer yourself. Very unprofessional... and while venting about this horrible experience. I have family, and when the tech arrived, I put on a mask (in case you read this from the future... it's 2020 - Covid)... I asked for the tech to wear a mask. He complained about it, put one on, only to take it off in my home. My house had the air condition on... so it wasn't hot in here, I keep my temp at 70 during summer months. I'll be contacting authorities, and Yelp regarding this switch and bait company. I hope this review helps you from making the same mistake I have made. read more

See all

I'll start with the wins - my thermostat in my dryer was successfully replaced. Now for could do betters: 1) I asked for a estimate when booking the appointment. $150-$200 to fix almost any dryer. Paid just about double, and the repairman told me they couldn't stay in business with those prices. Interesting, that was the quote the day prior. 2) Was charged $19.95 for shipping. Nothing was shipped. 3) I was told that the reason my thermostat went out was because the lent trap was full and didn't proceed to help with that issue, even within the dryer. 4) He called someone, presumably the main office, and was clearly talking sh*t about me in another language (like the nail salon episode of Seinfeld). Overall I was disappointed. I was hoping for an honest and upfront company that has basic manners. I will NEVER use them again. read more

I called to have a repair on my fireplace and was recived by a rude indiviual before i could get 5 words out he hung up on me, i tried to call him back because had other repairs and the clueless guy that's answering blocked my phone. Call someone else these guys do not deserve your business... It clearly says fireplace repair and i was treated like garbage. read more

I can't give O.C. App. Repair a rating because we are not going through with the repair. Max. the tech that came out to see what the problem was with our Miele G2472 Dishwasher was very professional, and did a clean survey of the machine. However when I got the repair proposal a couple hours later. My jaw dropped to the floor. I could not believe the repair cost was almost $1,300.00 to replace a circulation pump (see attached proposal below). It was over $800.00 just for the pump. The cost of the Miele G2472 when we bought it new was $1,300.00. So for those of you out there that are baffled as I am. Go to the Miele Repair reviews online, and you will see the problems people are having with the Miele circulation pumps. People have changed their pumps out two and three times. That is Insane. I can buy a brand new dishwasher with stainless inside and out, and install it myself for half the cost of the repair. So you know what I'm going to do!! I understand that O.C. App. Repair has to make a profit to stay in business, but that repair cost is over the top. Thanks anyway O.C. App Repair. Mike, Huntington Beach, Ca. read more

Oct 2023. terrible. They showed up and took our money for analysis and set appointment for repair with part. for that they get 1 star. Then they never returned or completed repair of refrigerator. tried to call but kept hanging up on us. DONT USE THEM. A SCAM! read more

If I could leave no stars I would. A fucking joke of a company. Get a call that they can't find parking on the multiple streets surrounding my house. Then come to find out from their dispatch that the driver crashed the work truck and is in his personal car. Why can't you find parking in your personal vehicle? Then knocks on the doors asks where did we park let them know garage or street. Then proceeds to speed off down the street honking his horn. Never comes to do the work no call to let us know. Don't use these people. Find someone else who knows what they are doing. read more

I would stay away from this company. They are just mean rude and racist. I was chatting with Tim one of their representatives and trying to book and appointment. Somehow my chat got disconnected for a few seconds and when i re-logged into the chat again their chat representative had hurled abusive language to me. He had called me a "Bitch" and a "Nigger"! What a racist company! Sam V =================== In response to owner's comment of this being a fake review. I have offered him to provide details of the chat and uploaded a snippet in the photos section as well. This is not fake review like the owner would like to believe. Let me know if you need anything else! I have this well documented. read more

OC Appliance Repair - Here is the abusive chat from Tim @ OC Appliance Repair. - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Fullerton, California

OC appliance repair is really It's a switch and bait. Please read reviews for American Appliance repair. Tim was the repairman that came in 10 minutes after appt time. He was courteous but had heavy accent so was hard to understand at times. He gave us an estimate and was helpful in giving us alternatives if we didn't want to do the repair. Overall it was a good experience of getting an estimate but we did pay a $55 service call fee which we were told we would have to pay when we called. Only concern is that OC appliance repair seems to be a different company than advertised probably due to bad ratings as American Appliance Repair. read more

FIVE for sure! I appreciate the quick, friendly and honest service. My dryer was fixed after the problem was explained to me. I also appreciate the helpful maintenance tips from the technician. I highly recommend this company and am very happy to have found them here on YELP. read more

Unprofessional!!! We had a refrigerator temperature issue so we called them today to come take a look. The service person had to be told to wear a mask before entering-strike 1. After taking a look at the fridge he then quoted a charge of $700-800 to repair it. My mother just asked him what the problem with the fridge was and he turned to me and said " I cannot explain it to her" (with a condescending laugh) as if she was an idiot-strike 2. My mother is a highly educated professional. He then made an inappropriate reference to our religion-strike 3. Incredibly rude and condescending. DO NOT hire these ppl. read more

Excellent service. The repair process is fast and smooth. Alex is really patient and friendly. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends. read more

OC Appliance Repair - Excellent service. - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Fullerton, California

These guys replied to yelp request early, explained the pricing, then on the spot made a major hands on repair to my classic (2002) without hesitation. our relationship quickly grew very, very cold. Highly Recommend A+ read more

I was reading some of the comments and it's hard for me to understand why people were so unsatisfied. I was very sad about the sudden outage of my fridge but the older gentleman was very friendly but focused on his work. Most people don't understand when someone doing their job is in the zone. He was very honest about his assessment and although I have to buy a new fridge, I enjoyed the rapport and constructive criticism. Thanks fellas! read more

I had my dishwasher repaired. My dishwasher didn't drain water. I saw YouTube video cleaned my dishwasher still the water didn't so I called OC appliance and had it diagnosed it. The tech was professional, wore mask and took his shoe off when he came in the house. Some service tech are informed to take their shoe off. Anyways, the tech informed me the the connector that connects the pipe from dishwasher and reconnects to disposer was clogged and just needs cleaning. He informed me how to clean so I can save money. The cleaning was easy and just paid him diagnostic fee. I was ready to buy a new one dishwasher if the motor was out. read more

Just recently our ice maker, which we use a lot, decided to stop working. Normally I would have called one of the big name appliance repair companies, but OC Appliance Repair had been recommended by my sister. We decided to try a smaller business and a very nice man by the name of Mel came out the next day and he was able to fix our ice maker and make the necessary repairs. It was all so easy and quick. Shortly after that our outside garage refrigerator stopped cooling ..all of a sudden. It was an older fridge but a good one and we had a feeling it was not going to be good news. We wanted a honest opinion so we called MEL again. He came that afternoon and told us what he thought and said he would do some tests. He was very thorough and gave us our options on pricing, etc. Because of the age of the refrigerator we decided to go ahead and replace it with a new fridge, but I have a feeling if we would have called out one of the "bigger"companies, they would have suggested we replace the compressor,etc. Mel was honest and we felt our decision was the right one. I am all for helping smaller businesses and when you find someone who is honest and really wants to help his customers, it's a great feeling. I am recommending OC Appliance to anyone looking for repairs...Mel is great! read more

Courteous, efficient service. Alex has a great personality! He also worked hard to get our oven door fixed before the holiday--and it was a great job! This is a good company that does great work. read more

This is just a robo clearing House which puts out notice to other companies that you are looking for someone to fix an appliance. Technician couldn't do anything to help, but still charged read more

They were Great! Came out same day and fixed the problem. My dryer wasn't drying my clothes so he checked the Vent. And sure enough it was clogged. It was worth the money. Because our warranty company told me 2weeks before anyone could look at it. I have 5 people in my house and I'm doing laundry all the time. Now I know check the Vent first. read more

From the person talking your frantic call, my so and so is broken! To the technician that comes to your home, everyone at OC Appliance Repair is, friendly, courteous, professional, fair and honest in what can be a very stressful situation. They sent someone out the same day and gave me the service I expected and got me and my family back in action in no time. Thank you. Highly recommended and will use again in the furture. read more

Wanted to take a minute to leave a good word for Tim because I found him through yelp, and he seems to have gotten some negative reviews that he dId not deserve. I called Tim yesterday because our washing machine appeared to be leaking. He was good enough to fit us in for a repair the next day. He was prompt, respectful, and attentive. After trying a few things, he was able to spot that the problem wasn't with the appliance, but a problem with our pipes. It was bad news that he delivered with sincere regret, because it wasn't something he could help us with, and he charged a fair amount for his time and expertise, with the added benefit of 30 days of free help in case the machine did need fixing in the future. I understood that Tim was **not offering a free consult**. Identifying a problem, even if he wasn't able to do anything about it, was **still a service** that he had every right to be compensated for. These reviews are so important to small businesses. And I hope that my honest opinion will add some counterweight to these other reviews that honestly sound like the people writing them didn't understand what they were agreeing to. I'll definitely call Tim again if we have any appliance problems, and I would recommend you do the same. read more

Polite courteous and do good work, I have used Oc appliance several times they do good work and are honest. My LG washer had an error message Max was out same day to fix. Another occasion my refrigerator was leaking, they came did some testing and recommended buying a new one as would be costly to repair. If parts are needed and they don't have on truck they can usually get within in day or two. Thanks OC Appliance read more

Great service! I called them today to check out my he monogram fridge that was leaking and not cooling properly, and also my ge dryer that was not heating. I called them at 9am and the tech arrived at 9:30! He was able to repair my dryer and the fridge all at the same time! He showed me the parts he was replacing and definitely gave me a very competitive price. I highly recommend OC Appliance Repair to anyone in need of appliance repair! I'm very happy I called them. read more

What can I say that hasn't already been stated here. 3 days ago, I called OC Appliance, spoke to Alex, told him my fridge was no longer cooling, etc...He told me he would send someone there asap. Within an hour, they were there (QUICK)! My technician, ALEX, showed up with a great personality and super knowledgable. After inspecting my Sears Kenmore Elite, he recommended that I contact the manufacturer... why? Because he said, "your 3-year-old refrigerator has a 10year warranty for the compressor which will be voided if non-manufacturer technician repairs it." The compressor was fried. He explained that refrigerators that are sealed (like mine), have a 7 to 10-year compressor warranty. I learned that the more complicated the refrigerator with several circuit boards and lots of bells and whistles for a high tech look, the higher the cost of the repair and the more likely its malfunction. This type of refrigerator is difficult to maintain if it is sealed because only the manufacturer can service it to keep the warranty intact. He told me when I contact Sears to get it serviced, MAKE CERTAIN that the technician is a certified Kenmore repair technician. He charged his fee, made a few other recommendations like a GE, Side by Side fridge less than 1,100 greenbacks on sale at Home Depot - he services all brands, and said this was the best way all around!! Ahhh...I love Sears, but today, I did not. The first appt from a Kenmore tech is May 4th. MAY FOURTH......yes I said it..... M.A.Y. - F.O.U (A MONTH OUT!!!). The phone person said, "hold on let me see what I can do for you to HELP YOU - I would hate for you to waste so much time" ***on hold of 2 mins*** "I found a technician in your area that can be there on Monday!" I said, "Is he a Kenmore Tech??" ... stammered, "uh, well, this is a partner of ours and they service all our appliances" again, "Is he a Kenmore Service Technician?" slowly, "No ma'am, but they can be there on Monday." I told her, no thank you, give me the 5/4 appt. I'll have to pay a $99 diagnostic fee and pay for labor. She could not provide me with the labor cost because the Kenmore technician will quote that to me before ordering any parts. Minimum, I will have to pay $99 PLUS who knows how much labor cost. The compressor is covered, but that's it. All food has been tossed and my mini-fridge is working overtime! I will take Alex's advice GET RID OF IT - it'll break down again, guaranteed! My GE will be delivered in just a few days. Oh, one more thing, he said that fridges from Korea or Vietnam will have the high tech, multi circuit boards sealed refrigerators. My Kenmore Elite is made in Korea....sigh read more

Our repairman came on time as scheduled. But from the start he did not seem friendly and courteous. We tried to overlook that, but when asked to take off his shoes he was not courteous about the request. We did not feel comfortable about this person in our home unfortunately so we did not have him stay nor did we have the repair done. Although all can have a bad day, it was tough to overlook this. We made our call and requested he leave and without a word, he walked out. read more

Great service the tech James came on time and was able to fix my dryer. I will use this company again read more

Very happy with American Appliance. Our Maytag refrigerator was behaving badly ( water dispenser not working well, very little ice, ultimately the touch pad went out & locked up) Paul is conscience and eager to do a good job. All told, he will have made 3 trips. First trip was to diagnose & order electronic parts, 2nd trip was to install & test, third is to bring us a new filter). I'm so glad to have the water and ice dispenser working again! Pricing is very fair. They will be our first call if our other appliances go awry. read more

Our garage freezer broke on Sunday, the week before Xmas. Yikes. I called on Sunday night and Alex came out Monday morning. He had to order a part, but was here on Wednesday AM and fixed it.. YAY!! I had visions of running all over OC to buy a freezer the week of Christmas. Very reasonable. I have used OC Appliance a few years ago and again this week. I would recommend to anyone that needs appliances repaired.. Very Happy Customer. read more

They were great! I needed my O L D old Maytag dryer fixed. I made the appointment on their website for the very next day. They called to confirm the appointment and VOILA, as the French would say. Very pleasant experience and reasonably price. I highly highly recommend them! read more

Scam company... they made 65$ for a service call from me for 10 mins at my home and had no intention on coming back to fixing my dishwasher once part came in. Don't use this company. read more

American Appliance did an awesome job on my oven. My wife was in the middle of cooking dinner on Monday night last week and my maytag oven stopped heating right in the middle of cooking her meatloaf. I heard a popping noise and that's it. No more heat. :( Luckily, I called this repair shop. They had tech just one block away from me that was doing repairs for someone else. So, Alex in the office said that tech will be there in 30 min and there he was at my house 30 min later. Funny thing, techs name was Alex as well but he was older gentleman. He took a look at my oven and said that heating element is broken. He had one in stock and 45 min later my wife was cooking again. She was a one happy gal. And, you know what they say " happy wife happy life". HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company. read more

Was having problems with grinding noises from my GE washing machine. Called OC Appliance Repair expecting to make an appointment next week, and spoke with Alex who said, we can have a technician come out today to check it out. WHAT!!! lol. Sure enough Tim came out that day. He seemed very knowledgeable. I described what was going on and showed a video with the grinding noise and from that he seemed to already have an idea of what was going on. Spent another 5 min confirming the problem, then after a short discussion with me fixed it. All in all about 45 min and my problem was gone!! Really good experience!! Best part, didn't even wake my sleeping daughter!! With out a doubt would recommend to anyone in need of appliance repair. read more

I called the Irvine location and Jim sent out Alex. After less than a minute he started writing up the invoice without telling what was wrong with my dryer. 20min. later he was still writing up invoice without giving me a diagnosis of problem. I told him I was a teacher and school administrator and needed an explanation...He became very defensive. Yelled at me for interrupting his paperwork. He was verbally abusive, calling me a bitch. Called Jim to report this and the call was dropped. read more

We had a different repair company come out to fix our oven first. After paying $210 our oven was never working and we waited 8 months for them to find parts. So, we called OC Appliance Repair to come out. We had an excellent repairman named Tim come out and he fixed it. Can't say enough good things about Tim. He was polite, went straight to work and fixed the oven. My Mother was very surprised when Tim shut our screen door, usually everyone goes out and lets the screen door slam shut. Tim was very professional and courteous. We were very happy that Tim was able to fix our oven right away. He cleaned up after his work and left us very happy. Tim is surely an asset to this company, he is very experienced and you could tell. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you, Tim and OC Appliance Repair!!! read more

Great service. I called for my Dryer they came out immediately. Work was done on the spot for a very reasonable price. Very nice repairman. All in all a super service call. Thank you for the great service! read more

I can't say enough good things about American Appliance Repair. We've used them in the pst for our washer and now it's the dryers turn. They came out and diagnosed our issue and needed to order the part. Scheduled follow up and was given a 3 hour window, and their tech came within the first 15 minutes of that time frame! He was very knowledgeable and had an additional part that was needed. I am very appreciative to have my dryer back in working order. Thank you! read more

They came over and charged us $320 to fix our subzero wine cooler. It did not fix the problem, A very rude technician came out the next day, and gave us an estimate for $3,200 to fix it for a second time. I called the office and talked to a guy called Tim, the manager, and asked them to give our money back because they did nothing. He hang up the phone on us and never picked up our call again. They are rip offs. Please do not go to them if you don't want to be cheated out of your money. I will also report them to Better Business Bureau . Please write a review if you had similar experience. read more

Two kids and my washing machine threw up an error code...Sh@#! I called OC Appliances thank god they were able to send out someone same day to fix! Pffffeeewwww! A technician named Tim from American Appliance Repair came to my door around 5:00 he was super friendly. He explained to me what he was going to do and the possible outcomes and cost before he started. Turned out it is was a simple fix, no part replacement or extra cost necessary. He worked fast and efficiently! I was also able to pay with my card, but they also except cash and checks. Happy customer here! Thanks Tim! Now I need to get started on this mountain of laundry! read more
