Jeremy - Austin, TX
I own a small business where in home service is a major component of what we do, Paul with Appliance Express embodied everything I strive to instill into all of my technicians. My wife who was home alone during the service call answered our door to a smiling and polite technician who respected her, our home and our pets as if they where his own. Paul proceeded to clearly explain everything he needed to accomplish and the many steps involved along the way. In the end it was determined that our oven was in no way in need of service and we where in fact experiencing an issue with the electrical supply to the applicance. A less honest technician and company could of in theory attempted to sell and install a litany of parts and the associated labor in an attempt to “fix” a non broken appliance. Paul’s diligence, thoroughness, and honesty where exemplary and allowed us to reap the benefit a skilled technicians diagnostic expertise and establish a clear path forward. To the ‘Powers at be” at Applicance express you have an absolute rockstar in Paul and you need to consider yourself lucky that I was not home during the experience as it most likely would of ended in me extending a job offer to Paul, he is the “Gold Standard” of an in home service technician.

Paul is awesome, very respectful and honest. Had Cliff previously and did not receive a survey for him. He is below average in my opinion. I will not have him back to repair any of my kitchenaid appliances.
Professional 100%

RANGE JENN-AIR JGS9900CDS02 Arrived onsite for the range with the down draft fan not working. The customer was not at home and didn’t return my pre-call. I called the office and spoke with Jen. While I was on the phone mr called and stated he would be here in 5 minutes. I found the fan working as designed. Mr stated it was making a humming noise that he never noticed in the past. I showed and explained that the noise was coming from the vibration of the fan against the hardwood floor that it was screwed to. I explained that to stop this he would need to put some rubber strips between the fan frame and the floor muffle the sound. Call complete.
