We have dealt with 5 Star Appliance 3 times over the years. We needed a repairman for our in-home…read morerefrigerator 3 years ago. We contacted a different company first, and they sent someone out....$90 just to have him come......and once he got here, he was very arrogant, and once we told him that the refrigerator was 21 years old, he said "Well there's your problem....your compressor is shot. You might as well buy a new refrigerator, We don't do compressor work" and he left! That's when we contacted 5 Star, and Vitaliy came. Within 5 minutes he said "Your fan isn't working. I'll be right back." He came in a couple minutes later, and within 20 minutes, did the repair and it has been working well ever since. The second time we needed a repairman, we called 5 Star again, but they sent a very young man who was just beginning apparently, because he couldn't figure out how to do the repair. The dishwasher was 20 years old, so we just ended up buying a new one, which was fine. This time, our outside refrigerator needed a repair, so we called 5 Star again and specifically asked for Vitaliy. He came within a day or so, found the problem within 10 minutes and had it repaired 20 minutes later! He is awesome!

My refrigerator decided to stop working properly on a random Wednesday morning. The horror of…read moreopening your freezer to find everything ruined. I called around some other appliance places to try to get somebody out right away to try to salvage the rest of my food, but nobody could come out the same day. Five star appliance, on the other hand, after saying that I was very concerned over my food, managed to find a way to fit me in for the day. The technician who arrived on time was very kind and very thorough and diagnosed me with a broken compressor. We talked about some options and he let me know what the warranty would look like and other details and helped me make a decision on how to proceed. I did choose to go with buying a new refrigerator and I think that was a good decision and 5 star helped me make it. I will definitely call them in the future for other appliance repair needs. Their pricing was fair. They were prompt and they were courteous.

I was just stating what I was looking for pertaining to the quote range I was hoping to get over the phone. (I was told the cost was 89.95 for a diagnostic fee and estimate) I was trying to get more information as to what the repair would cost so I could determine if a replacement would be better than a repair. I heard the repair on bearings is expensive. I totally understood the cost she gave me but she didn't have to keep cutting me off and then asking if I wanted to make an apointment. I told her no and told her to have a good day before I hung up. Will never go here for anything in the future since this was the first impression. Sad.

As a professional mechanic I have always maintained my own appliances, yet as of late I can no longer do so due to injury. I became very frustrated in not finding a company who would provide service quickly, and send people who actually know what they are doing, let alone clean up properly after themselves. First encounter: My 84yr old father found this company on his phone, on what site I do not know, after I had sent the last man packing for being a crook, to say the least, enough said. My father told me this new fella would be out to fix our fridge's ice maker at 8 O'clock. I said "Dad that's a bit early", "No, 8pm tonight he said". Dad had just spoken to him and it was 5pm. Well, the prompt service box got checked anyway. When he arrived he was clean well groomed, in uniform, shook my hand with a proper man's grip and looked me straight in the eye, Manners, checked. I had the parts, a replacement ice maker which he installed with the ease of a seasoned pro. he stayed another hour to make sure it worked. He reluctantly left at 10 pm when it still had not made ice. He had came to the conclusion that the computer had to reset, but if it did not work he would be back tomorrow for further diagnosis. It dropped ice about 12pm and has been fine ever since. I felt he had undercharged for the after hours service and the work he did, so we tipped him well. He did all he could to refuse the extra money, but reluctantly accepted it when I told him I would be insulted if he did not. Second Service call: Our dryer started making a squealing bearing noise. I was confused as I had cleaned its insides and replaced the drum rollers, belt, tensioner and the drum center bearing but 3 years ago, I recognized the sound as a likely drum roller bearing going bad. So I called them again. I had ordered the the parts I believed were going bad from Amazon to get them here quickly. When Ali opened the dryer it was clear that a drum roller was squealing as I suspected. He refused to install the rollers I had ordered and went to his truck to retrieve OEM rollers as the ones I had were inferior, "would be more noisy". I expected an upcharge for the parts off the truck, but no, he gifted them to me as I had the parts but he would not install the lesser product. They are not expensive but a gift none the less. I do not know who else works for this company, but, if they are as competent, well mannered, prompt and economically reasonable as my tech, Ali, I will recommend them as servicemen of high order. P.

Their delivery prices were very reasonable. Every unit on their floor appears to come with a warranty which I really liked.
