I contacted Kory about a BBQ that definitely needed cleaning and likely needed repairs. Based on photos I sent, he provided an upfront estimate for the cleaning and we agreed that he would let me know about repairs once he saw it. Kory arrived promptly at the scheduled appointment time and said he could get the parts needed but, because it was an older and discontinued brand, it might be worth considering a new grill. Kory could have just taken the job and my money, but he instead gave a candid assessment that enabled me to make an informed decision. While I can't comment on his work because none was completed, definitely five stars for integrity. And he didn't ask me to write this review, either. read more

Turned our Viking BBQ from a beat up old, barely functioning dinosaur into a sparkling new thoroughbred. Our outdoor bbq was not doing well and looked the part. It's an older Viking VGBQ41 and worked but wasn't cooking well and had random hotspots all throughout the grill. Hired Kory based on his excellent reviews to see if it was salvageable. He came out and informed me that yes, it was quite salvageable and could definitely be brought back to its former glory without being replaced. Ho ordered some interior burner parts and gave me a very reasonable price to not only fix it, but return it to its former shiny self. Once the parts came in he went to work and completely rehabbed it. A plastic bag had blown onto the side of the stainless steel lid and melted leaving a very ugly large brown spot that I had tried to remove for years. After completing the cleaning it was gone. The bbq looks almost brand new and is back to its original self. No more hotspots and completely even cooking temps throughout. He even explained some functions that I was unaware of and did a fantastic job. Thank you Kory and the BBQ Busters for a complete redo and breathing new life into what I thought was a goner appliance. read more

Kory was the first person to really help us in a saga of dealing with a grill gas leak. After smelling gas one day, I called the gas company and they confirmed there was gas leaking from our grill. After calling an appliance repair company (who ghosted me) and a popular Orange County large grill repair company, Kory was the only one who fixed our issue. The other large grill repair company came out (for a $29 charge) and took a look. After not hearing from them for 2 days, I called and was given the response that they could not find the part that we needed but they were happy to help us to look for a new grill. Mind you, our grill is 1 year old and costs over $1000. Instead of taking them at face value, I made one call to the grill company and found the part for $67. I called Kory and he agreed to come exchange that part, ensure our grill was no longer leaking gas, and clean the BBQ for an excellent price. Do not even mess with the other companies, just call Kory. He was available, came exactly when he said he would, and didn't leave until the job was done. He even found another issue with the original grill installation and went and got a new part and exchanged that as well. Thank you! read more

The BBQ Busters will be the Best call you will make! After contacting many other companies initially, and then realizing they were a rip off, I am so glad I contacted The BBQ Busters. Kory responded immediately, came to the house, analyzed the issues, ordered the parts, installed all and clean the grill to perfection. When it comes to BBQ or grill repair, hands-down The BBQ Busters is the very best! The other companies didn't want to come out, as if it was a waste of their time, and they wanted to charge absorbent rates just to come out. You will not be disappointed , Kory is honest, he has integrity, and it shows. Calling any other company will be a waste of your time, and your hard earned dollars. read more

Kory was prompt and quickly went to work cleaning my bbq. He helped me find replacement bricks on Amazon too. He cleaned up after he was done. I would recommend him 100% for anyone who has a dirty bbq. His price was great for all he did. read more

Good communication. Showed up on time and performed the job as expected. Great pricing. Will definitely hire again.

Kory showed up at the time promised, worked for 2+ hours scrubbing, polishing, and checking final functions, and then gave us some usage and maintenance tips. He was friendly, professional, hard-working, and efficient. He even left his workspace area cleaner than he found it. Best of all, because of his efficient approach, he charged less than the service we used previously. Kory is who we will be calling from now for all our BBQ service needs. read more

We have been using BBQ Busters for several years now and find them great. Kory does a great job caring for the bbq grill. He is on time, friendly and spends the time to make sure the job is done well. I had to have a replacement part ordered and he came back to install as scheduled. read more

Kory is the absolute best! Reliable, fair prices, prompt, a fanatic about details, thorough....truly professional in every way. Recommend him without hesitation. read more

Hats off to Kory and the excellent job he did detail cleaning my 15-year-old bbq today. The grills are squeaky clean, as is the inside cover and drawer (which I didn't even know existed!). And the heat is now even across the cooking area - no more cool spots. Kory was timely in responding to my Yelp inquiry for his services, offered a competitive rate, checked my bbq out initially so he knew if there was anything he needed to order for replacement, then returned to clean and replace my igniter. He also told me which briquettes I needed from Amazon so I could order them. He also cleaned under my bbq - no spot left unclean. He left my yard clean and free of any mess or bbq grease while cleaning, was professional and friendly, and I would definitely have him back next year to help me get ready for bbq season! read more

I provided a description of my problem with my underperforming grill. Rather than having to come out to evaluate the situation, the owner provided a couple solutions 1) a part suggestion and 2) another suggested fix. His diagnosis solved the problem and likely saved me money and time. While I did not need formal on-site service, his knowledge and integrity spoke volumes. Thank you! read more

Very responsive, keep in touch and tried to help. My BBQ was too old for him to find the part so we did not do business. I do recommend him to anyone who needs his service. read more

Just had my bbq cleaning, Nothing but great service! And excellent cleaning, Thank you!

I can't say enough about the job that Kory did on my barbecue. It had almost 5 years worth of buildup on it and the starter for it had gone out. Kory was polite, meticulous, and determined to get my grill looking and operating like new. Kory ended up spending 6 hours disassembling the grill, cleaning everything, and putting it back together. He also told me what parts I needed to order to get the starter working again and said he'd come back to install them whenever I was ready. His price was very reasonable given the amount of time and effort spent to rehab my grill! If you have a need to get your grill cleaned or serviced, I highly recommend Kory! read more

We moved into a new house with a built in BBQ grill that needed a lot of TLC. I tried myself but gave up and gave Kory a called. He nailed it - the grill is spotless and ready for the summer. Highly recommend! read more

Kory and BBQ Busters are a great example of what an amazing service company should be like. Kory was super responsive , texted me as soon as I requested the quote , came out the next day to quote, ordered parts at a fair price and returned a week later for the repair. I did not have to chase him like you do many others. This was a great experience and the work was superb. And one final note , he even cleaned my BBQ to make it look new. Who does that when they don't have to. That's the kind of guy Kory is. Great work. read more

Korey @ The BBQ Busters is a real barbecue guru! He gave my built-in grill the full detail and helped me order the correct parts to get my grill back up and running. It looks nearly brand new and it is a decade ++ old! Thank you very much... I highly recommend the BBQ Busters! read more

WOW!!! What an awesome job Kory did today for us on our grill. Looks better then new. We've had our Jennair for 13 years and never had it professionally cleaned. Kory got all the baked on residue off and gave the entire grill a super "detailing". He also showed us that a few of our burners had rusted and one was warped badly and he was able to get new ones for us. The grill ignites so easily now too after Kory made some adjustments. Kory was right on time, kept the work area clean, cleaned up nicely and was fun and professional. This is the only place you need to use for your BBQ needs. read more

We've had our grille cleaned every year but by a different service provider. These guys by far did the best job, not a close second. I would absolutely recommend them to all. read more

Kory did a great job cleaning and repairing our built in barbecue. It was in pretty bad shape (starters not working, heating elements and tray broken) when he came out so he ordered the necessary replacement parts and returned to do the cleaning when the parts arrived. Looks like new, cooks evenly, no flare ups from accumulated drippings. Couldn't be happier. He is reliable and on time, fair price. Would definitely recommend and use again. I just won't wait so long to have it cleaned! Barbar T. Dana Point read more

Found BBQ Busters on Yelp. Kory came out for an estimate and I decided to move forward as an xmas gift for my husband. Our gas grill has taken a beating b/c we have never used a cover. For xmas I bought him a cover and paid to have his grill detailed. 1.) The cost of a new grill is quite a bit when compared to bringing life back to our beloved grill and 2.) Less junk in a landfill. Kory did an amazing job. AMAZING. We will be seeing him in the future for upkeep. Money well spent. read more
