Had me wait 2 weeks for an appointment. Then had me wait another 2 hours past my appointment window, total of 4 hours. The tech did not even park in the driveway, left his trucking in the street. I opened the front door to greet him and he walked past me with no acnologement. Walked straight to the refrigerator, opened the door and turned on the fridge and then turned it off real quick and then walked out the door. Blurted out for me to have a nice day as he was walking. It seemed as though he was only there to antagonize and make me feel bad, he never even tried to diagnose the refrigerator. This is the worst human encounter I have ever experienced in my lifetime. The worst of the worst.

I used Dollings because they were the authorized service for my DCS built-in grill. From beginning to end, horrible. For the initial visit, I had to wait until 830 the morning of the visit to be informed of my three hour window for later that day. Who do they think they are, Home Depot? On the initial visit, the cost of which was a very generous $140, the estimator told me that I needed rod holders, electrodes, a protective plate, and both U burners. I have no debate that these were needed, and the U burners have a lifetime warranty. Next business day, I got the following estimate from someone at the company (did not identify him/herself): "To repair BBQ $730.00 plus tax. Replacing 2 rod holders, 2 electrodes,2 electrode mounting brackets, I/R protective plate. Also 2 u-burners under warranty. Please advise." I wrote back and asked whether the $140 diagnostic fee would be deducted from that amount, which is standard in the industry. The equally rude response was: "No, Thats our trip charge out . You do not get this charge again. The $730.00 is for parts and labor. The burners are warrantied for rust thru only. The customer is to send photos of any burners with rust thru to DCS with customers name address and model and serial #'s" So in addition to $730 plus $140, I am apparently expected to disassemble the grill myself and deal with the manufacturer for warranty. This, from the manufacturer's authorized service representative, who already took the grill apart and told me I need these parts. This is great service, isn't it? On top of all this, the grill was left disassembled, which would have been fine if they were coming back, but only a fool would use this pathetic company.

Went pretty good. I would have liked more responsiveness via the message system on Angie's list but otherwise very prompt and responsive. John was a professional tech and actually didn't find anything wrong which is good to hear. I think service trip charge could be less but that's their business. In the end, I was pleased overall.

Dolling representative answered my call promptly. She was courteous and professional. As promised I received a follow up phone call and visit in the time frame specified. Technician performed evaluation and recommended replacement of dishwasher as cost to repair would cost almost as much as purchasing a new dishwasher. FYI Dolling only repairs appliances, thus the advice was against the revenue acquiring interest of the company.

He had such an attitude. He didnt want to order a part or provide price. He wanted me to wait when they were ready.
Response from Dolling's Appliance & Refrigeration Inc

"There was a hurricane off our shore that day Customer appeared to be unaware. Cust. wanted her washer repaired. A part had to be ordered and customer insisted that it be overnighted and installed the next day. That night mandatory evacuation of the Palm Beach Island. When Customer continued on about service the next day we decided to hand her back her money and find another company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Response from Dolling's Appliance & Refrigeration Inc

"We apologize. When we do warranty work. Manufactures want some sort of proof of date of purchase. I have been doing warranty for 39 years. We have lost a few thousand because we were not able to document Date Of Purchase. All that is required, Bill of sale, Manufacture to call in, Closing Documents and or first Electrical bill. We do not advertise we depend on that Warranty Customer to have the best service experience from us and to call after warranty if needed. We are sorry for customer"[Member Information Removed] inconvenience. We built our company on Warranty Work. Sam"

riveThey were supposed to fix the washer, technician came, charged $140 and left, washer machine was not repaired... called again the following day, they told me they will call me, call again the next day, same story, finally called me 2 days later to tell me the technician will have to call me. A day later i got a call from the technician telling me he has the part that needed to be replaced, proceeded to hang up. Received a call a day later from Virginia asking me if the job was completed (WTH?) after saying that it wasn't she schedules the job for another week an half. no quote, or estimate, straight charged me an additional $300... so in total over three weeks from the moment the first place was placed to getting the machine fixed.
They are rude, careless and outrageously expensive.
STAY AWAY!

"We are being judged on a call we did not run. I do apologize for you being put on hold. It was a busy time and season. I assume there trip charge was less than ours since we did not come to your home. It is very difficult to judge a company on Service Call Alone. But I am glad you received the Service you needed and you have a Company you can call."

My 5 year old Fisher Paykel dishwasher started to give me error codes on the top drawer.  The error code was about insufficient water supply.  Ken from Dolling's Appliance came out and diagnosed the problem to be one of the valves that supplies water to the top drawer wasn't working properly.  Ken had the valve on the truck so he was able to replace it and everything works perfectly now.
Ken knew exactly what he was doing the whole time.  Thank you Ken!

Refrigerator and freezer had stopped working; both were warm.  I called Dolling on Monday morning, and Julio came to the house and repaired the refrigerator that afternoon!  They are an excellent company, and Julio is very good at his job.  He has been here on two separate occasions for two separate problems, has immediately diagnosed the problems, and promptly fixed them.  I would definitely recommend Dolling to anyone who needs appliance service.  They are wonderful!

The technician (Juan) arrived right on time, very quickly assessed the situation and determined what the problems were, and promptly fixed them.  Very knowledgeable and professional technician, very responsive company (I called on Friday, and the technician arrived on Monday). I have had service performed by Dolling's Appliance & Refrigeration in the past, and found the same to be true both times.  I would definitely recommend Dolling. Thank you!

I called the company because they were recommended on the Bosch website. On the phone, I explained the problem and broken door latch part in detail, assuming they would come with the part and do the repair.
They did not bring the part, the technician took a few minutes to confirm what I had already told them on the phone and told me that the part should be in stock and they would call me the next day. For this visit they charged $ 85.
They called the next day and informed me that the installation of the part would cost another $ 150 for labor only. I knew, it was a rather quick and easy repair, so I told them that I feel overcharged paying 150 on top of the 85 for the first visit and that I would not hire them under these circumstances.
Fortunately, I found a great company on Angie's List, had the washer repaired quickly and professionally with a year warranty and ended up paying only $ 100 for labor, instead of the 85 plus 150, totaling $ 235 that Dolling's wanted to charge me.
Response from Dolling's Appliance & Refrigeration Inc

"We are sorry for you experience and fairly I can see how you would feel. We have many customers tell us what part to bring in the past. When we go there with that part many times that is not required for the repair they need. Now we have to send that part back, freight and restocking fee"s apply. I feel your complaint should have been handled differently. If you know what part you want as we do now when a customer calls in.. We require a credit card for the purchase of any part you want, in this customer case it was obvious the handle was broken and we should have come out with it on the first trip. We should have handled this different. Do to the nature of this complaint we are extending a free Service call. I would like to make it right. Sam"

It took me 3 month now to have my oven fixed. I called other companies and all they did they charged me the service call and never came back because they could not admit that they have no idea how a viking stove works. Then I found Dolling's on Angie's List. Unfortunately my Oven had more than only one part defect but I need to say the mechanics worked on it until even the last problem was fixed.  I would use them again and even would recommend them to my friends. Great Service and reliable people.
