Since 1974, AA Appliance Repair in Santa Barbara, CA has worked hard to provide appliance repair and maintenance services to the Greater Santa Barbara area. Our specialty focuses on repairing washers, dryers, and disposals. We are licensed and bonded and we offer free estimates. Q: How does one know whether to repair their current appliance or purchase a new one?
A: While this is a decision that each appliance owner has to make on their own, there are a few simple ways to help make the choice a little easier. For example, if a repair costs more than 50% of what the appliance is worth, it's often more cost-effective to purchase a new unit. On the other hand, if simple repairs can keep the appliance running smoothly, there is no need to buy a brand-new appliance.
Q: What is the best brand? A: The truth is that it is not as much about the specific brand as the overall quality of the machine. The main thing to consider when purchasing appliances is whether they are service friendly or not.

I hate to jump on but the $105 for 10 minutes to tell me he was unable to fix the washer (or that it would be $400 and not worth it) seemed excessive. Especially since he barely looked and more listened. I don't doubt his expertise, I do dislike the lack of service. This was not an emergency call and not off hours. He said "I am 10 minutes away, you want me to come now?" when I called him. He did enjoy showing me his fancy paint job on his truck telling me how expensive it was (it was flames). Not a great idea to brag about expensive paint jobs on your truck after charging $105 for basically something
