Fix-It Rite!

I always hesitate to call a repair man - I won't any longer! I had tried everything I could think of to fix my non-draining dishwasher. Steve Spinoso was so friendly and quickly fixed not only the drain but the bad installation I had been dealing with for so long.
He was quick and responsive and did not over charge.

On time, professional, fair price. Everything I was looking for. The owner answers the phone every time.

Apparently Yelp requires a certain number of words in order to quality as a review and not a tip.

Well, the first part is all you need to know.

My KitchenAid dishwasher wouldn't drain and I couldn't figure out why. I could hear the pump working so I knew it wasn't the washer but i couldn't find a block in the drain line but by routing it I knew something was stuck. Not knowing how old this appliance was i was considering buying a new dishwasher but i called Steve first. He came out and was able to find that drain line was kinked way up by the join point of the garbage disposal. He gave me a fair estimate and as promised and he also pointed out the shoddy contractor who originally installed this used a combination of part for the drain line. Andrew, his Sr Tech came out as scheduled and after sourcing several suppliers found that he could use a GE line for the KitchenAide. He came back the next day and fitted it correctly and also reset the air vent which was also shoddily installed by the original contractor.

I would highly recommend this team. I could have spent $1000 on a new installed dishwasher to just find out it didn't drain either. They cost me $216 which to me is a very fair price.

DO NOT HIRE UNLESS TIME IS THE ONLY CONCERN AND PRICE DOESN'T MATTER!

Note - This review is directed at the price ONLY, not the service technician. The technician was very professional and competent.

I recently had my GE Artica Profile ice maker replaced due to it overflowing. I contacted several companies on Yelp to have it repaired. Fix-It Rite was the first company to respond. They charged $75 to come diagnose the problem. The ice maker was replaced along with the water valve and the coils blown out (both at the recommendation of the service technician). The coil cleaning was an additional $50. The final price was $492.86 for the 1) ice maker, 2) water valve, 3) and coil cleaning. I requested an itemized receipt but was told everything was billed on a flat rate. The entire service took about 1.5 hours.

I received additional quotes from multiple other companies, 2 of which stand out and I wish I had gotten them sooner. Both quotes itemized the costs.
1) Appliance 2Day
*Final price = $221.97
*First Appointment Available 1/25/18
2) Placer Appliance Repair & Installations
*Final Price = $269.12
*First Appointment Available 01/26/17

In the end I am sure that the repair will be fine I am just really bummed that it cost about double the price. I will not recommend Fix-It Rite to my family or friends.

I would recommend both Appliance 2Day and Placer Appliance Repair & Installations.

This past summer my A/C stopped working. I called around and this was the only company that could fit me in that week, so I went with them. They said it was a blown fuse, they did some work in that area, and it started working again...

For about a month, when it shut down again. I called them again, and they came and said it was a problem with the capacitor. Once again, they fixed it and the unit was working again...

And once again it stopped working after a few weeks. By that point I was done with fix-it-rite and had someone else come look at it. He thought I had tried to replace the capacitor myself since it looked like such an amateur job (and was a terrible quality capacitor). He fixed it, and it has been running smoothly ever since.

I'm giving them an extra star because they were available and on-time to the appointments, but I wouldn't trust them beyond that.

I've used Steve from Fix-It Rite for about 20 years, and am consistently impressed with how effective he is in diagnosing and fixing problems, as well as his integrity and professionalism.
I have used him for repairs of AC, heating, replace garbage disposal, minor electrical and probably other items I've forgotten. I think so highly of him I have recommended him to family members.

Our a/c went out and it was 84 in the house with 3 fur babies panting. Steve was able to squeeze us in same day, find the problem within minutes, and gave us options to fix!

He also showed us the issue and had it fixed quickly! Much gratitude on a Friday before a 100 degree weekend!

I had to redo my Yelp review. I was wrong. Steve from fix it rite is an honest man. I am so glad I called him back. Putting a new system is not the answer as many other companies have suggested. I have no insulation in the attic and single pane windows. He was honest and trying to save me money!

One of the best guys that I have ever had fix stuff for me. When Steve helps fix something for you, he doesn't just silently fix it without telling you what is going on and then tag a massive bill, he fixes it the right way (yes I said that).

My air conditioner broke last week and I called Steve to help fix it. He went to my attic, determined the problem in minutes and spent time to explain to me what the problem was (turned out to be my evaporator coil being frozen), what possibly happened to cause the problem (bad previous repair with photos for proof and I am always a sucker for that) and what options I had. He actually recommended against me replacing the entire unit and instead recommended just getting the new coil since it came with a ten year warranty which definitely saved me a ton.

Now I have a new evaporator coil and a cool house for the rest of my heat wave. If I ever have any problems with air conditioning, he will definitely the first person I will call.

My AC conked out on the hottest night of the year - 111 degrees. I found Fix-It Rite and Steve on Yelp and sent an SOS email at10:30 on a Sunday night. Steve wrote me back immediately and got me on his schedule for the next day. He assessed the problem quickly and fixed the problem in minutes, and he did it with a great attitude, and a sense of humor. I'd recommend Steve highly.
