While trying to salvage a previously tenant occupied unit I learned that 4 of my appliances needed repair and the washer and dryer were practically brand new (gota love tenants!). I contemplated cutting my losses by buying all new units but worried I would be in the same position in two years time when the new tenants moved out. I called Uptown appliance to get an Idea of the repair costs and had a visit right away and thank god because I couldn’t take any more time off work!
(yes they left the place in that bad of shape).
I think Chris the repair guy sensed my frustration and tried to cheer me up, pointing out that the fridge and dishwasher where quick fixes. 5 minutes later and a quick trip to his van for some spare parts the fridge was no longer leaking and dish washer was up and running!
The washer and dryer required some parts that had to be ordered but Chris was able to return another time that worked well for both of us.
All in all, I’m happy I didn’t buy new appliances and the repair costs were peanuts compared to buying new. As for costs, one service call price for all 4 appliances and continues labor rate + parts= reasonable cost.
Chris is my appliance guy from now on and will be recommending him to friends and family.
Thank you Uptown!
