The tech came to our house for our broken dryer. I asked if they would call ten minutes before and the lady on the phone said they would. The tech shows up with no call. Speaks little to no English. Looks at the dryer and tells my wife he needs to order a part. Doesn't even take a tool out to even look into the dryer. He tells her "I will call you later this evening or tomorrow morning." No estimate, receipt and didn't even ask for a payment he just left. Four days go by, we have called multiple times, left messages and nothing. So I called and left the final message that

They came out to provide an estimate for work on our dishwasher. The technician had to leave suddenly due to allergies, which was fine, but then we got the estimate and I had questions. I spoke to the admin and she had to go back to the technician before returning my call. She did, but I had some follow up questions. I needed the dishwasher fixed, possibly installation of a new dishwasher, and wanted to have the $85 estimate price to be applied to either (in the initial message, I was told it would be applied to repairs, but the installation was unclear). Instead of answering these questions, I

The scheduled time was between 12-2pm but Ali did not come till around 3pm. When he did arrive, he was apologetic and said he got backed up on previous jobs and traffic. He was able to identify the issue with my Samsung dryer needing a new heating element, had the part and replaced it in a little over an hour. The dryer is working well and there is a 6mo warranty. I would had given Ali 5 stars if he was not so late for the appointment and do want to hire him again to look at an issue with my Samsung refrigerator.

These guys are amazing! If I could give them more stars I would . Trustworthy, on time, and very knowledgeable. My dryer did not heat up and give a noise, took care of my dryer no problem. Highly recommend!

I recently used Shift Appliance to help me with two separate appliance issues: a broken dishwasher and a broken freezer. It took them a while to get back to us on the dishwasher issue, but Ali, the technician, was fantastic and took care of us. However, communication was hit or miss for that one and it took us over 2.5 weeks to get the issue resolved. Then, when our freezer broke, I reached out to Shift Appliance again, and they immediately sent Ali over. Ali told us we needed parts, and then he disappeared for over a week without any contact. He came back after a week, said we needed some other

We had great service. Professional, cost effective and great communication. Our dishwasher was having issues and rather than get a new one with all the hassles surrounding that, we got it repaired, as it matched all our other appliances. We are glad we did! It was cheaper, they were friendly, and on time. So happy to have found Shift.

Update: I received a response, they said the part has been ordered, and an estimate for repairs was given. We are working on a resolution.

The electrician, Alex or Ali, showed up promptly. He removed my stovetop, with the assistance of my son, and said he didn't have the part needed to repair it. He said he would look for the part needed and get back to me. That was over a week ago. He left some parts (chips) from the touchscreen panel out when he put my stovetop back on. He should have left the stove assembled the way he found it. Two of the burners were still functioning properly,

The first time they came out was to fix our oven and install a dishwasher. They were great and very reasonable. This time we called about our refrigerator and Ali said he had to order the part..that was 5 days ago..Since then we have left messages with them every day..and they never reply..The phone goes to a recording but they never call back..Very disappointed in them this time.

Customer service response was quick, already made the soonest available date, technician arrived on time, had the same technician that repaired my dryer. He was very skilled, methodical in trouble shooting the problem, able to make my washer work in less than half an hour. I will recommend them to my friends and families for any appliance repair needs. Very professional people.

Good customer service, reliable and easy to deal with. Ali is an excellent appliance technician, installed my dishwashing machine with no problem at all. Bought my dishwasher online with Home Depot last November 2020, delivered it to my house and appliances installer said I need handyman because kitchen hardwood floor need to be cut at least half inch because he can't remove old dishwasher and place new one. Ali installed it without doing that. I'm happy with shift but not with Home Depot. Thanks Ali & Shift appliance.

Hired them about month ago to fix my refrigerator. Technician (Ali), literally as he approached my refrigerator, listened refrigerator’s working sound (while for me it was super quiet and actually almost silent despite that I have very sensitive and acute hearing because of my PTSD) and immediately asked if my refrigerator wasn’t cooling good enough? I confirmed, that it wasn’t cooling fast and good enough despite it was set to the highest cooling strength and speed. Then he opened refrigerator’s door, checked door’s suction robber at the bottom and showed me that it got twisted, due

Small scheduling mixup but they offered me a discount to make up for it. Showed up promptly and completed the refrigerator repair quickly. Only suggestion I'd offer is to let your customers know in advance if the technician has any animal allergies or fears so we can remove the pet ahead of time, felt bad for the guy. Would use them again in the future.

Had an incredible visit from Ali today. The floor of my kitchen was buckling due to what I assumed was my dishwasher leaking. He came in and immediately identified that it was not my dishwasher given the location of the buckling. He thoroughly checked under my sink then removed a drawer next to it that revealed that the drain hose had been eaten through by rats! He quickly replaced it and essentially saved my marriage. Thank you, Ali!!

I found Shift appliance through yelp. Andrew came over and did a great job on my clothes washer fix. Andrew was very Covid safe. He was professional and respectful to me as a woman customer. He then came back the next day to help me relight my water heater. I highly recommend that he be the man for your job! I will certainly be calling him from now on!

These guys were incredible. Had a washer problem and my brother recommended them to me,when it started washing it made grinding noises. Called them up the lady who answered was extremely kind and understanding and put me on her schedule for the next morning. When the technicians came in they were considerate of the covid regulations and even went beyond. They wore masks and before touching anything they put on gloves and went straight to work. Took apart my washer and removed a bunch of garbage but didn’t stop there they took the time to check my drain and my water lines. Definitely worth calling

Bought RV trailer recently and some appliances in it were not working. I wanted a next day service, but companies I used to use were busy and couldn't help me. I contacted Shift Appliance Repair and they responded within 5 minutes which was very convenient. They were able to send someone to take a look. I decided to think what time works for me and call them a next day in the morning.
The next day in the morning I called to Shift Appliance and unfortunately they were busy for that day, but since I contacted them earlier they found time for me and sent me a technician. He sent me a text message

Shift appliance Technicians were great. They were fast, friendly, fair in pricing, and professional. I will definitely recommend them to anyone. They ran a gas line for my gas dryer and performed a full install. They ran new pipes and vented it outdoors. I'm so happy! Give these guys a tip. Oh and the lady who answered the phone was so nice as well and she'll give you a text message reminder.

Came quickly, found the problem immediately and fixed it. Can't argue with that.

Problem was with the water supply line. I like that they had the part and didn't need to order and reschedule.

Also some people don't deal with LG fridge. These guys too.

These guys do a great job overall. I’ve had several issues with one of my appliances, and while they were fixing it I asked them to take a look at my other appliance I was having problems with. They fixed it all. You don’t often have people willing to take time out of their day to fix something that wasn’t on their schedule.
Highly recommend their services.

Shift was very responsive when my washer started to flood my garage. They were able to schedule quickly, the arrived promptly and the work was completed in the timeframe they stated. I found them reliable, affordable and completed the work at good quality. I highly recommend Shift and their services.

Hired Shift Appliance Repair company and got my dryer and washing machine fixed.
I had a problem with electricity at home and my washing machine and dryer stopped working.
First I hired one company and paid $100 for coming and diagnostics, but then they came, charged me a lot for fixing and said they would send another technician next day to fix my appliances. Of course I didn’t like that and I decided to call to Shift Appliance Repair. Fortunately, they had free time that day. Technician Ali came the same day, fixed everything in two hours and I paid twice less than I was charged by another

I discovered I had an issue with my dishwasher after having breakfast with my family. I desperately needed help from a technician to fix the issue ahead of dinner time when we usually run our dishwasher again.

I put a quote request to several companies offering the service. Shift Appliance was able to respond within 10 minutes, confirm the availability for a service visit the same day and their rate was unbeatable vs. other vendors.

Ali, the technician, arrived at the scheduled time and was able to solve my issue within minutes. He was very diligent in addressing the problem, super kind, and

BEWARE!!! I hired Shift to come and troubleshoot my high end (Viking) oven and range. I agreed to their $65 service fee. When the tech came, he looked at my stove and examined the burners and oven door--took no more than 5 mins. Then he told me I owed him $120 for fixing the burner!!! I never approved that. He just came in and "did" the work without asking me, showing me the problem or anything. He said he'd need to order a part and he'd email me an estimate. I remembered reading reviews saying that Shift promises they'll give estimates but never do. I should've heeded

We decided to go ahead with the washing machine pump repalcement.
It made more sense to buy a new microwave since the estiamte to repair was more than the price of a new microwave. I emailed this to their e mail address. I received no response. I called them 3 times the next day to see when they would arrive to fix the

Our freezer ice dispenser was broken and We submitted a request for a quote and we got a quick response the night before and got it scheduled for the next day. They were very responsive professional and helpful. Ali showed up with his apprentice Igor and they were very professional they had shoe covers. Face masks and gloves and cleaned up after themselves and were very concise and efficient.
These guys seemed very experienced and trained. They are EPI certified and skilled team.
They were very knowledgeable and figured out the problem in the first 10 minutes and the price was very reasonable
