Honest advice

When a repair costs more than the machine is worth, we say so.

No call-out fee

The diagnostic fee comes off the repair, so a fixed machine costs you nothing extra.

Bearings on an old washer and a compressor on an old fridge are the two repairs that are almost never worth it. Almost everything else is.
