Including the honest ones

Reviews

Most of our work comes from neighbours who told neighbours. Here's what people say, including the time a part took a week and we should have called more often.

Fridge running again by lunch

5 out of 5 stars

Our fridge was warm on a Monday morning. I booked online at 8, Marcus texted at 10:40 and had a new defrost heater in by noon. He showed me the old part and the frost on the coil. The $89 came off the bill like they said.

They told me not to fix it

5 out of 5 stars

Front-loader was roaring on spin. Dana said it was the bearings, the repair would be about $650, and on a 10-year-old machine she'd buy a new one. Paid the $89 and that was it. Nobody has ever talked me out of spending money before.

Twenty minutes and a filter

5 out of 5 stars

Standing water in the dishwasher. Priya cleaned out the filter and the drain hose, ran a cycle with me, and charged the low end of the range. She also showed me how to do it myself next time.

Gas oven fixed before the party

5 out of 5 stars

Our oven would glow but never get hot. Luis knew it was the igniter before he took the panel off. He leak-tested the connection and was gone in under an hour.

Good repair, needed two visits

4 out of 5 stars

Dryer had no heat. The element was on the van but the thermostat wasn't, so it took a second trip two days later. No extra charge for the second visit, and it's worked fine since.

Reply from Larkin: Thanks, Sam. That thermostat is now stocked on every van, so the next one is a one-trip fix. Dana

Honest about the ice maker

5 out of 5 stars

Our door ice maker kept freezing up. They fixed the fill tube heater and told me that on this model it may happen again, and that turning it off and using a tray is a fair choice. Appreciated the honesty.

Fixed, but the part took a week

3 out of 5 stars

The diagnosis was fast and the price was what they quoted. But the control board for my fridge was backordered and it took a full week. I wish they'd called a couple of times with updates instead of me calling them.

Reply from Larkin: Victor, you're right. We now text an update every two days while a part is on order. Thank you for telling us. Tasha

Sock in the pump

5 out of 5 stars

Washer full of water and blinking. It was a sock in the drain pump. Marcus cleared it, checked the pump, and didn't try to sell me a new one.

Clear price, clean work

5 out of 5 stars

Two burners on our gas cooktop kept clicking. New spark module, written price before he started, and he wiped down the cooktop after. Easy.

Found the real problem

5 out of 5 stars

Two other places wanted to replace the heating element. Larkin checked the vent first, and it was packed with lint. Cleared it and the dryer works like new.
