(Hi Tech Appliance Repair)","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Lauren A."},"reviewBody":"Toni was fantastic! He promptly returned my call within a couple hours and was able to come out to my home the next morning. Our dryer was suddenly emitting a strong electrical burning smell days before leaving town for a few weeks. We had loads of laundry to do so needed the unit fixed ASAP. I originally purchased the unit through Pacific Sales with an extended warranty but upon trying to schedule a warranty repair I was warned that lint cleaning wouldn't be covered. They were going to send a company out to take a look but warned me I'd have to pay if it wasn't warranty work. The company they contracted had horrible reviews on Yelp (we're talking less than 1 star) so I decided to forget about the warranty and find someone on Angie's List that could give my unit a thorough cleaning and diagnose the issue fast. I found Toni and was pleased with his positive reviews and distance to my home. He scheduled me for an 8-11am window but said he would call when he was 15 minutes out so I wouldn't have to wait around. As promised Toni called that morning at 8:40 am to say he was on his way. He arrived shortly thereafter and immediately got to work. He took the entire unit apart as promised and showed me exactly where the burning was coming from and the lint that was causing it near the open gas flame. He cleaned all the lint out (and it was everywhere!) and put the machine back together again good as new. He also detected that the duct from the machine to the wall had become badly caved in because the washer had been pushed too far back against it. He said the air passage was severely blocked and this is why the lint was building up in my machine. He had a new, much higher quality duct replacement in his vehicle and replaced it immediately. The part installed by Pacific Sales was very cheap and bent easily, closing the passage way for the lint to travel outside if needed. The part Toni had on hand was reinforced to help prevent denting. I was worried I was going to have to give my dryer a thorough cleaning annually but Toni reassured me that with the new duct and keeping the machines where he placed them I shouldn't have any trouble at all. He was even nice enough to clean out my dishwasher filter, as he was reviewing with me which appliances require any type of routine maintenance. I would definitely recommend Toni to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, professional and kind appliance repair man. Thank you, Toni!

You have to empty the gasoline out of them every year before storage and also be more careful to clean them. Otherwise, you destroy the carburetor, hich is what happened to me. The folks at U-Save explained the whole situation, told me how to prevent it from happening again, fixed it so that my lawn mower now works perfectly. I was completely satisfied with the service and they were very nice to me as well. Unfortunately, the repairs cost almost as much as the lawn mower had originally cost me. I don't blame them for that--I'm sure they put in that much labor. And, apparently the routine maintenance I will now need every year will also be expensive. This is apparently just inherent in the design of the new lawn mowers, so I put the blame for that problem on Sears.

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Oakland, CA
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
