    My 35-year old Electrolux had a severed cord. I brought it to Poway Vacuum and Sewing Center. Not only did they repair the cord. They cleaned it up and now it looks and operates like new. Even if you have to drive across town, it's worth every mile to receive service from this excellent store.

    couldn't be bothered to put it back together

    took my oreck in yesterday bc it wasn't working, wouldn't turn on.. then it was smoking. so we left it with the man up front.. since it's a free estimate to see what's wrong and then he'll talk price. he calls us this morning and says a mask was stuck and that's why the motor stoped and the band needed to be replaced and something with the brush roll, so he says all that plus labor will be $103, no problem, money is not an issue to me, but a new oreck would be $80 more so we picked it up.. i took a look at it since i decided i'd just try and fix it, i look thru it and the band is perfectly fine. so i turn it on... and to my surprise it works.. it just makes me wonder what he was going to do with it all week if it worked perfectly fine after the mask was removed. not to mention, he wasn't welcoming, the dog was way nicer than the cold shoulder we got. also got it back like this(check photo), we pushed it back but come on, i just felt disrespected at the fact that he tried taking advantage of us... i understand older folk probably bring in certain vacuums in to get fixed but don't get scammed, look a video up and TRY to fix it before spending too much money..

    Russ, the Owner!

    My neighbor donated a beautiful sewing machine to me so I could give it to a newly arrived refugee family. I was having trouble with the bobbin case shifting and causing jams. I called Poway Vacuum and Sewing and spoke with Russ. He was so kind and tried to help me trouble shoot over the phone, but it wasn't working. I explained the the machine was needed for a refugee family and he told me to come down and he'll have a look. I felt bad as it was close to closing time, but he reassured me and said, "well I'm the Owner so it's OK!" Russ was super knowledgeable and after tinkering with the machine for a few minutes, he was able to fix it. He spent some time to show me how to properly thread the machine and ensure the tension settings are correct so I can teach the family. Russ is the reason why we need to support small businesses! I will be back for all my sewing and vacuum needs!

    Workhorse vacuum cleaner looks great and runs like new again.

He also gave us a detailed rundown of what was wrong with how the washer was initially installed so that we could know what to look out for in the future if we were to ever move. I highly recommend Good Guy Appliance to anyone who needs a repair done quickly by someone who is knowledgeable and informative.

The problem was that the technician never got back to us with our quote for the repair, even after I called a couple of times. After a week, I just wrote a bad review, thinking they did not want our business. The owner reached out to me after that and explained his technician was new and forgot to send us the quote. He apologized profusely, and he went above and beyond to make things right. You could tell he prides himself and his company on the quality of work they do. He ended up helping us repair our drying machine that just had a belt snap a few days ago. He was honest and sincere and very knowledgeable. Made the whole experience great. If I need any repairs in the future, I will only contact him and his company. He made what started off as a bad experience into a great experience. Highly recommended! ,

    I didn't use their service, but I HAVE to leave a review. So the previous owner of the house had…read moretheir stickers on the washer/dryer they left behind. I was having issues with my refrigerator, so I contacted them via their website form. The owner (Mr. "Tad" Tadeusz) called me shortly after I submitted the form (talk about quick response!), and I explained the symptoms. Dude just straight up said "Ahh that's an ice-build-up in the fan housing." He proceeds to tell me how to fix it, that it's straight forward, and to call him back if it didn't work. Modern fridges with the freezer in the bottom has so many shelves and such that it blocked my view of the vents and the ice build-up. When i removed all the shelving, I finally saw some ice buildup in the vents, just as Mr Tad assumed what had happened. I mean I wouldn't have minded for them to come and to pay for a professional to give my fridge a once-over to ensure it's tip-top shape. But I did as he said, and the issue resolved!!! As instructed, he told me thoroughly clean all the seals, and turn off the fridge to defrost the freezer so it all melts. I finally ate most of the food to do as instructed, I placed what remaining food in coolers, and gave the fridge a good clean and melted all the ice. Issue resolved!!!! No wonder the previous owner kept Mr Tad's business' stickers all over the house. I'm glad he did! Now I have my go-to appliance man for life!!! This kind of integrity is incredible! The man with decades of experience, knew the issue over the phone immediately, and gave me DIY instructions! I'm a consultant and I charge clients for my experience and advice because that's my job. Mr. Tad is a better man than me!!!
