I recently used A-Dave's Appliance for a dryer repair. I was frustrated at first because the dryer had another issue come up and communication was slower than I expected. Jacob apologized, said he had been extremely busy, and did come back out to take care of it. He found an additional failed part in the motor/pulley area and got the dryer working again. I appreciated that he followed through and made the situation right. Based on that, I would definitely use A-Dave's Appliance again. Thanks, Jacob. read more

We used them over the years to repair our dryer. Called them this month with a refrigerator problem. They came out and said it was repaired. Still having problems so I called them to come back. They scheduled a date to come back and said that he was sick and would be there later in the day. Never called us back and we have tried tried to call him 3 or 4 times and they will not call us back. We don't recommend them for repairs. read more

friendly. affordable. honest. helpful and transparent. repair done the day of the call too! we totally recommend! not sure if Jake is the owner, but that is who we worked with! read more

These people lie made a repair on a refrigerator and it did not work they warrantied their work for 30 days forget trying to get them back they do not return calls and they will tell you they are coming back and never show up if they answer their phone ADaves suck warning do not waste your money or time just wait till you see their service vehicle that should explain the type of people you're dealing with stay away from them or learn your lesson the hard way the people leaving positive reviews are family members had to leave a star only to post my review they do not deserve the one star read more

A-Dave's Appliance is my very first and only call when one of my appliances breaks. Many times they come the very same day I call, they are a family owned and operated business that always puts the customers first. Thank you A-Dave's !! read more

They saved us a lot of money by finding some junk that was just caught in the washing machine's pump. They cleaned it out, put the pump back on and everything was fine. They did this instead of just replacing the pump. Very honest company.....we will be working with them again. read more

Hard to write a review when he doesn't bother to return calls. Don't know if he's still in business or retired, but he needs to improve his customer service. He was recommended, but I cannot recommend him and I will be only too happy to pass on my experience. All I needed was the ice maker on my refrigerator to get fixed because it was leaking and had to be shut down; but I guess he doesn't care. read more

Great business !!!! Came even twice because he wanted the work done and we were without our dryer for too long !! Thanks again guys!!!!!

I set up an appointment and 2 guys showed up for a washing machine repair. they looked at it for about 2 minutes and declared that since they couldn't get anything to light up that the board was bad and we should just buy a new one. My wife who had used it last had decided to go shopping instead of being there to tell them what was going on. Seems my son in law had turned off the circuit breaker to that line in the house. After turning the power back on it still does everything but agitate. They charged me $50 cash for their two minutes of not actually doing anything and didn't even leave a receipt. read more

The guys at A-Daves are terrific! They always arrive on time and return your phone calls in very timely manner. They have done work on my gas stove as well as most recently, my gas dryer. I was told by another repair company that my 17 year old Amana was shot. Would cost more to fix than what it's worth. Turns out, A-Dave's got it working like new for less than $200! Would most definitely use them again! If your looking for fair pricing and fast and courteous service, give A-Dave's a call!! read more

Fridge went out and started warming up to 80 degrees. Looked up some local repairmen and decided on these guys. Received a call back 10 minutes later and scheduled to have them come out the next day. They fave me a short time window when they'd be here and the guys were even early! Tremendous work, my fridge is working and it is money well spent. Call these folks if you have a down appliance! read more

Called Dave and told him the issues I had with my fridge. He explained what was wrong with it. Came over the next day and fixed it in a fairly short amount of time. He offered his help if I had any other issues .. even said to call him if I needed advise . I recommended him if you need a good, reliable, and honest company for your household repair needs. Will use his company again in the future ! read more

I would not recommend them. Had no issue at first was satisfied with quickness. If you choose to go with them, get your quote in writing. Was told $200 to fix my washer and dryer but they had to order parts for the washer and come back(understandable) Fixed dryer however, found a bolt not put back. That's easy for me to put back on, but if I pay you $130, I shouldn't have to worry. When they came back and fixed the washer, they left the water hose out of the wall. I started the washer and went to get my laundry, came back to my whole laundry area flooded with water. On top of that they charged me an additional $200 for the washer alone. Called them because of my flooded laundry area, and the additional charge and he kept say no that's not what I quoted and was rude about it. Did not care my 2nd floor laundry area is flooded. Just said it was an honest mistake, which I would have taken that for what it was, if it wasn't for the attitude I was given. Also, no one ever answers the business phone# when you call. I had to call the business line and the repair guys cell multiple times and text before anyone would answer. Not recommended! read more

Woke up with a fridge not working. Called A-Dave's at 8:30am, and he was working on the problem by 9:30am!! From my description on the phone, he knew the potential problem. Once there, he diagnosed and repaired it on the spot. He was efficient and got me back to my day in no time at all. Best of all, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely use A-Dave's again read more

These guys are awesome. Straight to the point, no run around and they are always very honest and trustworthy. Had them over for two different services (fridge and dryer) and I'm glad they came and helped. Highly recommend; hands down. read more

Originally Published by Becky Brooks, Yahoo Contributor Network 12-21-2010 No one likes to have their appliance break down, but having an Appliance Repair Service that you trust make it a lot easier to deal with. We are new to the area in the last two years and have been fortunate to not require any repairs in this time. Then in the last month, two of our appliances were in need of repair. How I found A-Daves I did not know who to call so I started looking in the local phone book and saw a listing for A-Daves Appliance Repair. I looked them up online and saw only praise for them, so I decided to give them a call. Making the Appointment Dave's Apprentice took my call and handled it in a very professional way. He took down the name and model number of my Refrigerator and a description of the problem and said he would call me back to set up an appt. He went over their policies and charges and put me at ease. Hours of Operation Monday through Friday 8am-6pm, Saturdays 8am-2pm, Sundays Closed They are open some holidays A-Daves Appliance Repair Inc. A-Daves is a Family Owned Business for 20+ years. I was impressed that they had been servicing customers in my area for so long and with no complaints found on the internet this was a plus. They also had no complaints listed with the BBB. The business consists of the owner and his apprentice, so when you call you always know who will be doing the work. Address and Phone 2416 Garden St Joliet, IL 60435 (815) 676-5980 Fees Charges and Warranty At the time of my service call, the charge was $55 and that fee would go toward a repair if needed. I felt that was very reasonable because most Appliance Repair Companies charge a trip fee and then start adding on more charges to that. A-Daves Charges by the job not by the hour so whatever quote they give you before the work starts does not change if it ends up taking them longer to complete the work. They warranty all their work for a full year. I felt that their charges and warranty were very reasonable and fair. The Service Calls A-Daves Appliance Repair was able to make an appointment for the same day. I did call first thing in the morning so I am sure that helped. They gave me a 2 hr window, and when they were on their way they called to let me know that they would be there shortly. The first service call to repair my Refrigerator required them to go pick up a part after coming to look at my Refrigerator, they were able to get the part and return to fix my appliance within an hour or so. The charge for that repair was $265 which included a part that opens and closes the cold air to my refrigerator as well as the installation. They were very careful to not damage anything in my home. The second call we made to A-Daves Appliance Repair was to fix the door pulley system on our Dishwasher. When I called and spoke with them on the phone, they knew exactly what was wrong and when they arrived they had the part and were able to complete the repair. Again they were very friendly, and professional. The repair took a little longer than expected but they still only charged me what I was quoted which was approximately $150. Services Provided and Area's Serviced A-Daves will provide services in the Following areas: Joliet, Plainfield, Romeoville, Crest Hill, Lockport, Bolingbrook, Will County and Surrounding Area. They are able to service, Refrigerators, Freezers, Dishwashers, Stoves and Ovens, Garbage Disposals, and Washers and Dryers. If you have some other appliance just call and ask if they can do the work. Bottom Line I will not hesitate to call A-Daves Appliance Repair for my future appliance repair needs. I feel very confident in recommending them to anyone who may require their services read more

I usually forgive and forget, or I give people the benefit of the doubt. I've been beyond understanding with A Dave's. My dryer stopped working, buzzed when I turned it on and nothing. The name seemed familiar just couldn't place them. Couldn't come out in less than 3 days. Ok - I get it. They came, 2 fellows who took off the second panel (my husband took off the first) moved the drum, it moved, and the dryer started. They said - sometimes lint or something gets caught there and stops the drum. Didn't look at anything to see it there could be something else wrong. 15 minutes and $95 later, they left with parting words of remembering to move the drum. We then remembered who these guys were! At our old house, the 4y/o freezer stopped making ice, was freezing over. These guys came over, fixed it an left, check in hand. Problem is that we had to call them back 3 more times and it still wasn't right. It never got fixed correctly. I was told that they stood by their work and that secretary would contact me with a date and time. 4 days later - nothing. No phone call when they said there would be. I called someone else that came out in an hour, took the dryer apart, left to get a part, came back and fixed it correctly. What a relief having a dryer again. A Dave's should return the $95 I paid them - for nothing! read more

A-Dave's was recommended through a neighborhood website and I'm so glad I called. I was having a problem with my washer. Jacob called me to find out exactly what the problem was so he could be prepared when he came out. He called when he was on his way, showed up on time, talked me through the problem and even saved me money as a new pump wound up not being needed. Nice to find an honest repair person! Won't use anyone else going forward! read more

I wouldn't call anyone else. Dave is great! Knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. My fridge wasn't circulating air inside. He's a busy man so call him early. read more

This may be one of the last companies left with great customer service , integrity and no greed. I called this company telling them what problem I had with my washer and what I did to try and fix it. Without skipping a beat this company did not lie and truly tried helping me by telling me what was wrong with it and why I should just buy a new washer. I wish all companies were this honest. Thank you and I will be using this honest company in the future. read more

Called A Dave's this morning and my dryer was fixed in the afternoon. They knew immediately what the problem was by my description. Repairs done in less than 30 mins of arrival. Courteous and prompt service. Will defiantly use them again and recommend. read more

When my fridge went out, I did not know who to call. I talked to my friend who recommended these folks. I called in the early afternoon and made the appointment for an 8-10 window the next morning. The father and son showed up within the window. They identified the problem, called to see if the part was in stock and then went and picked it up. When they came back they installed it in about 20 minutes. What a reasonable rate! So glad my fridge is cold again and I did not lose any food. Good to know them if you need a repair! read more

My Dryer was not getting hot and my wife and I tried to YouTube it for a few days to no avail. So we finally called A-Dave's it's Saturday and Jacob came within the hour and fixed it so fast we are so happy! Life without a dryer is no life. He was very professional and did a great job. read more

I found this company by Google. I was trying to get my dryer fixed and I called Sears but they would not be able to fix until friday and they charge $89 just to come out. Sears tried to sell me a year warranty but we decided to go with someone else and boy am I glad we did. This company came very promptly and told me what the problem was , fixed it and I was good to go. I have their number on my fridge for the next time I have a problem. I highly recommend them. read more

I'll admit he seemed knowledgeable, but charging $85 to come out and tell me my washing machine is screwed and walk out my door in 5 minutes time is outrageous. I understand you have a rate to Come out, but if youre coming out and you are the one telling me there's no reason to fix it as the repair will cost more than a new washing machine, a lesser amount should be charged. I will more than likely never call this service again. read more

I had an appointment with Dave for Monday from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. He never called or showed for the appointment. I called someone else to do the work and so should you. He obviously does not care about his business. read more

The oven would not heat up, and they replaced a small part for the ignition. It only took a few minutes, and the price was fair!

Had to call Dave out again for a leaky dishwasher. Dave said he had to get the part ordered and we scheduled to meet up after the weekend. As usual, he came right on time, got the job done well, and he even had to time to answer some questions I had about our sink. Always a pleasant guy and always professional. I can't ask for anything more. Look him up if you need help! read more

I am in Joliet and have contacted several "highly rated" appliance repair companies to work on my fancy front load washer/dryer. BEWARE - there are a lot of out right crooks in business. A-Dave's is awesome. Honest work,on time, knowledgeable, at an honest price. Called another company that told me I needed a part that would cost $286, and I bought it on line for $74. AJ what a joke read more

our frig was running but not cooling-my daughter found Dave from fb where she got many excellent reviews, so i called to make an appointment! he was on time, got the job done at a reasonable rate and am a very satisfied customer! when ever necesary it is Dave i will call for help! highly recommend ot any one needing repair work! thank you Dave! read more

I have loved A-Daves in the past. Referred to many clients myself BUT.....Today I was very DISGUSTED. I was told 8am-10am. I decided to call at 11:30 to see if they were coming. Jacob called. He overslept. Really?! He'd be here in 10 mins. He shows up we had dryer opened & cleaned. He literally turned it on. Said yep you need a motor I have to order it. Should have it by Thursday. $320 so it's your call if you want to replace or repair. I missed 2 appts I had while he overslept. So do I waste another day ?! Let us talk and let you know. Well his 2mins with dryer... you need to pay $70 FOR WHAT? A Consult? He did not do anything to dryer. No preliminary tests NOTHING. Jacob said," if you de use to order part & fix it we will deduct that." We asked where is the part. He said yes you could pick it up but won't get back til late wed or as he initially said Thursday. Well my time has value as well. I always want to support small business. Dave was very professional. If this is the new way. I will look for a different repair company!! read more

We have used A-Dave's several times over the past few years. They are prompt, courteous, and efficient. Would definitely recommend them for appliance repair! read more

Dryer door switch replace, $140!!!! For a $10 switch and 20 mins work. Very disappointed!!

Our washer just filled up with water and quit worker. Went online to find repair services in Joliet and A-Dave's came up first. I called him, told him my problem, he came out and within a few minutes he had diagnosed the problem and in less than 30 he was done. HIs price was reasonable and we saved a lot money by not having to replace it. read more

I made the mistake of calling them instead of factory service. They came to my house 1 hour late, within 5 minutes, bent the latch on my dishwasher so it would not close and pulled off my baseboard, not replacing it. They told me without taking anything apart (except my baseboard) that I needed a new pump and it would cost me $329. I had called manufacturers' service while I was waiting for one hour for them to arrive and learned kitchenaid would do any repair for $309 and that would also include a one year complete warranty on my dishwasher(not just the repair). I declined A Dave's recommendation that I replace the pump for $329 -kitchenaid came out and fixed my dishwasher in 20 minutes--no I did not need a new pump-as A Daves told me. Everything about the experience with A Dave's was horrible!!! With one exception. The owner did refund the $45 they charged me for 10 minutes and the bogus estimate and destroying my latch and baseboard after I called and complained that I thought this was consumer fraud. I learned my lesson --AVOID them!! read more

My dryer had no heat and called A-Dave's at noon today, AND they were in the neighborhood and were able to stop by in less than 2 hours. After looking at it, they determined that the coils went bad and replaced them. They also took the time to inspect the dryer vent itself and made a HUGE discovery that it was not installed correctly and was a fire waiting to happen! If it wasn't for that extra step they took to check the vent, then we would have not known the urgency to have that replaced. Luckily we had a friend who was able to replace that also today, but we never would have called if A-Dave's didn't advise us. Our friend fixed it and explained that A-Dave's was absolutley correct, and we could have had a fire start possibly within a few days dueto the extent of the damage. Thanks to A-Dave's who came out quickly, the price was perfect, they traveled in a heavy snow-storm, AND they practially saved our lives and our house. : ) I will never call another appliance repair company---these guys were honest and wonderful! Thanks again! read more

Don't use these guys!!! They will take advantage of you the minute they can. My dryer had a slight gas smell coming from it and when I called I was quoted $70 for them just to come out. BUT a month prior I was quoted $60 by the son, weird. I was desperate so I said ok. Went out and bought a whole new gas line to insure I wouldn't get charged for something silly. He came took a look and said he needed another part. A part that cost maybe 5 bucks. By the end of the job he comes downstairs and tells me I owe $150!!!! My quote for a gas line put in wrong that took him 20 mins to fix ends up costing me way more than needed to be. My husband called to tell them to tell them they took advantage of me and was then told their service fee was $75 (not the 70 he quoted me earlier on the phone). He also gave my husband some sort of excuse as to why it was so much. But given we provided him with most of the parts he needed, it should never have gotten to $150 FOR JUST A GAS LINE!!!!! DONT USE THEM!!!! read more
