What about the diagnostic or call-out fee?
Our diagnostic is $70 to $130, and it comes off your bill if you go ahead with the repair, so you are not paying twice. If we tell you the fix is not worth it, you have paid only for an honest, expert diagnosis, with no hard sell.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
Our rule is simple: if the repair costs more than about half the price of a new appliance, replace it. Most repairs are well under that line. The usual exceptions are a refrigerator compressor or a washer transmission on an older unit. When you call, we will tell you honestly which side of that line your appliance is on.
