Our $65 Service Call — How It Works

The $65 service call covers:

Travel to your location across Tampa Bay

Full diagnostic inspection of the appliance

Written estimate with the complete repair cost

If you approve the repair — the $65 is waived entirely. You pay only for parts and labor.

If you decide not to repair — you pay only the $65 diagnostic fee. No hidden charges.

Blue Book Pricing — What It Means

The Major Appliance Service National Price Guide — commonly called the Blue Book — is the industry-standard pricing reference used by professional appliance repair technicians across the United States. It sets fair market rates for parts and labor on all major appliance repairs.

We use Blue Book pricing on every repair. This means you are not paying inflated prices, and you are not getting lowball estimates that change after the work starts. The price we quote is the price you pay.

 

What Blue Book pricing means for you:

Prices are standardized — not invented on the spot

You can verify our pricing is fair — Blue Book is publicly referenced

No price changes after the estimate is given

Same pricing for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Sub-Zero — no brand surcharges except for specialty parts

 

Up to 1-Year Warranty — Parts AND Labor

Every repair we complete is covered by a 1-year warranty on both parts and labor. This is the strongest warranty offered by any appliance repair company in Tampa Bay.

 

Compare warranties:

Professional Appliance Service — 1 year parts AND labor

Smart Appliance Services — 1 year parts / 30 days labor only

Most local competitors — 90 days parts / 30 days labor

Our warranty is 2 to 4 times stronger on labor than any competitor we know of locally.

 

When to Repair vs Replace Your Appliance

We follow the industry-standard 50% rule — if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the replacement cost of the appliance and the unit is over a certain age, replacement may make more sense. Here is a quick guide:

 

Repair vs replace — general guide:

Refrigerator under 8 years old → repair almost always makes sense

Refrigerator over 12 years, compressor failed → replacement may make more sense

Washer or dryer under 8 years old → repair almost always makes sense

Washer or dryer over 10 years, motor failed → assess repair cost vs replacement

Dishwasher under 7 years old → repair makes sense for most problems

Oven or range → repair almost always makes sense (replacement is expensive)

Wine cooler under 6 years old → repair makes sense

We give you an honest recommendation based on the diagnosis — we never push unnecessary repairs
