Excellent service, I call him and he replace the oven control and the temperature sensor Thanks , Mike Jose Castro (858) 756-3508 I read more

My refrigerator stopped cooling, although the freezer was cooling. I called Mike at AAE and he was able to come out the same day, evaluate the problem, order the part and I gave him a deposit and he was on his way. A few days later he replaced the part and we are up and working again. I had a very pleasant experience with this small business owner. I highly recommend him. read more

All Appliance Experts really know their stuff! They've come through for us a number of times and they always do excellent work, they're fast and they charge less than everyone else. We now have Alex and All Appliance Repair as our number one repair company for all of our appliances (refrigerator, washer and dryer and everything else) and they are our only appliance repair company. We definitely recommend All Appliance Repair. On Yelp, to our family and friends that live all over San Diego County.. read more

Mike did a great job. He fixed the problem on the refrigerator and even removed the shelves with multiple screws so that I could clean the brackets and glass shelf. This is the second time I used Mike and would recommend him without issue. read more

I was refereed to this company. My LG refrigerator water stopped working, so I could not get water from the door. Also I could not get ice. He walking into the house held his finger on the lock button on the front of the refrigerator panel for 4 seconds, and said OK, its fixed, you owe me $75.00. :) he had it working in less than 1 minute. He could of told me to try that on the phone...... or perhaps charged me a lower fee, but no $75.00...... not nice. do not call this guy. read more

Mike earned his star by quickly responding to our phone call by coming out the next day. Mike came out only to tell us that our broken down vent fan behind our range would require the original contractor or cabinet maker to come out. He charged us $75 but did not spend more than ten minutes poking around, saying he couldn't do it. We told him frankly "we'd just be happy with the appliance disconnected. It never had to work again as far as we were concerned since we hardly ever used it." We have a decor appliance and had hoped that with his 30 years experience $75 would have bought at least an hour of his time to perform some diagnostic. He tried pushing down the fan but it popped up the moment he drove off. We called him back to tell him however he did not offer to return himself or the $75. We were able to fix it ourselves by drilling a small hole and removing a fuse. read more

Mike came out to repair our very old refrigerator and did a great job! Although it was the holidays and he was very busy, he made a great effort to be on time and fit me in. He repaired our refrigerator for a great price, was clean in his efforts, and was very quick. We will call him again for any appliance! read more

Mike was great to work with and very reachable via cell phone (text and calls). He helped replace my dishwasher baskets which are not easy and is very professional and personable. He worked with my family home (wife, two kids, nanny, cat, etc.) and I felt comfortable the entire time. I found Mike via my Home Warranty company after complaining they originally assigned me a company with a 1 star average review, so they assigned me to All Appliance Experts next, and I am very happy they did. My experience was clean and efficient, Mike texted, scheduled, arrived and departed within 30 minutes. Then returned another day with the parts and installed in another 30 minutes. Then it was all done and I have a fully functioning dishwasher. I credit Mike and All Appliance Experts for leaving me with a positive experience with the repair and with the Home Warranty company. They owe you Mike! read more

I called in for a repair five days in advance. Set an appointment for Saturday morning. Coordinated it with the person who rent the house where the repair was supposed to happen. Friday morning I get a call "We can't make it tomorrow, but we'll give you $20 off if you'll reschedule." Just like that; not even an apology--just telling me and trying to bribe me with $20. Very disappointing given the reviews I have seen here read more

My refrigerator was making a noise. I called and he was able to make a good time to visit. Very helpful and clear about the problem. He presented the options and gave an estimate that he stuck to. He always wore a mask and was understanding and respectful. read more

These guys rock! I had a fridge that I needed to fix and had 2 other quotes besides these guys. I have to say they are not the cheapest but they have been the most professional over the phone and even better when they came onside. Sergio and his father did a great job and they left no mess behind (very important for me). As of now my fridge is fixed and I will definitely use them again. Thank you. read more

I had an issue with my LG refrigerator, specifically the ice maker, so I decided to call All Appliance Experts after reading their stellar reviews. Mike and his son Sergio were very knowledgeable, professional and quickly diagnosed the water valve was leaking from very extensive hard water build up. California water can take a toll on our appliances. Mike had the OEM LG part on his truck and fixed the problem that same visit. His prices are very reasonable and I would definitely use his services again. P.S. While he was there he also looked at our Samsung Washer and Dryer and gave us tips for preventative maintenance. Thank you! read more

To preface the novella below, here's a disclaimer of sorts: I normally don't write reviews, but because I'm always relying on the reviews of other Yelpers, I figure I should start reviewing more often to keep the good karma flowing. To be perfectly candid, though, All Appliance Experts doesn't need another glowing review -- but they totally deserve it! So here's the story: our two year young, fancy-pants, cooks-everything-better-than-you-ever-could LG microwave kicked the bucket -- or perhaps I should say it was comatose, or on strike. So I called 8 appliance shops for help. The verdict? Apparently microwaves are NO LONGER considered appliances, although if you need a toaster fixed, I can recommend 8 places that will jump for your business. Electric can open broken? No problem; gotcha covered. Microwave broken? HAHA-NO. Click. As a last ditch effort I called All Appliance Experts (at 8pm! and got an answer right away!) and Mike's wife - who is super-duper sweet - got me set up with a next day appt. Mike was able to diagnose the issue quickly, ordered the necessary part, and as soon as it arrived we were back in business! Remember the good ol' days when we used to heat our meals in the Easy-Bake Oven? No? Me neither; but at least a 100-watt light-bulb doesn't cost an arm and a torso to replace! Luckily, Mike's charges for parts + labor were VERY reasonable, which was nice since the bank teller didn't give me the side-eye this time for withdrawing the amount of dough I needed. If any of you Yelpers are looking for an honest, reputable repair shop/man/amazing husband-wife duo that doesn't discriminate toward microwaves (or girls -- "Yes, for the last time, I checked to make sure it was plugged in!"), definitely give All Appliance Experts a shot. Mike is very efficient, humble, and as far as I can tell he's a real expert. read more

I am so glad to have found All Appliance Experts. When our Fisher and Paykel washing machine went on the blink, it turned out, only certain repairmen would even look at it. The single "authorized" repair center in town did not even return my call, but, Mike responded right away and was able to diagnose the problem in minutes. We ordered the part, at a reasonable price, that day. Mike really knows what he is doing, was prompt and professional. The part came in within 1 week and even though he was obviously super busy, he even made a special trip out to complete the job at 830p at night! We were eager and very appreciative to get the work done as soon as possible. The part was installed quickly and painlessly and our washer was back to work that evening! He also left us with tips on how to prevent future hard water problems. Also, Mia, who answers the phone and schedules Mike was very pleasant on the phone and a pleasure to interact with. They are a great team, who are in instant communication, to help get the repair done promptly! I would not hesitate to contact them again for any appliance repair needs! read more

This is the second time I have used All Appliance Experts. My refrigerator was not defrosting and I know from experience that it would stop working in a few days. I called Mike on Sunday Dec. 30th, just in time for the long New Years weekend. He came out that day. I have an odd refrigerator and Mike didn't have part needed in his truck. He said he would get the part and call me. I assumed he would get back to me after the New Year. On January 1st Mike returned, installed the part and as usual the price was very fair. Mike carries more parts with him than many supply houses stock. All Appliance Experts, Mike and Mia, know how to run a "Mom and Pop" business. The customer service is right on and Mike is extremely knowledgeable and punctual. read more

I am writing this review so future clients know that Mia is a very cordial and helpful person. I called, "All Appliance Experts" to inquire about surface defect repairs on a washer, and dryer, due to damage by a tenant. After explaining the situation to Mia, we began talking about Tenants/Landlord relationships. I told Mia I was looking for a good property manager; She immediately wanted to help me, by making several recommendations to me. She didn't need to spend her Sunday helping me, however, she obviously cares about the people she talkes to on the phone. Mia mentioned that Mike is an Electrical Engineer and the Mia is a Mechanical Engineer; Very intelligent people! I have to be honest, I have not used the services of "All Appliance Experts" yet, so I can't grade their work. I will however say, Mike and Mia are very caring and fair and they have earned my respect, and will be receiving from my future business. I hope this review helps you make your decision about calling Mike and Mia for your appliance repair needs. Mia is extremely helpful. She talked with me for almost one hour and gave me many useful tips for property management. Thanks, Mia for your kindness! Mark in Las Vegas, Nevada. USA. read more

If I could give them 100000 starts I would! Mia was so nice, helpful and incredibly accommodating. My washer broke down 2 days ago and with a baby I couldn't wait to get it taken care of. Their schedule was booked but they were able to squeeze me in and came within less than an hour after I called them!!!! Mike was very kind, knowledgable and effective. Their service rates was half the price I expected. I hopefully won't be needing their services too soon but I wouldn't consider using any other company. Don't waist your time and money and call them right away. Absolutely outstanding!!!!! read more

Had Mike fix the ignitors on our stove after some water had shorted one of them out. Mike is extremely professional, efficient and honest. He came to check out the problem within a day of calling him, ordered the part and was back within a few days to install it. I came to learn that Mike is actually an electrical engineer from the former Yugoslavia who now does appliance repair. How's that for overqualified! I highly recommend Mike and All Appliance Experts. We would definitely use them in the future. read more

Mike made my day!! 12 days ago I got a "new" washer and dryer. During transport, my friend and I neglected to anchor it properly in his truck and the lid on the washer got damaged. This rendered the washer unusable once it got moved into my condo. Although he showed up a little late today, Mike was able to not only properly diagnose the problem with my washer, but also had it fixed in about 30 min without any parts required! He even went the extra mile to reset and rebalance it on its stand so that it sat better in the laundry closet. AND he fixed my bent lid so that it closed properly and looked more esthetically pleasing. Although it cost me $85 to have that done, I felt it was worth it and I was ecstatic to pay him that! Reason being that 12 days prior (the day I'd moved it in) I'd had another technician look at the same washer, diagnose it as a broken lid latch (not so according to Mike...he said it was just bent hinges) that needed to be replaced, quoted it at $350 to fix, and then never responded to any of my calls over the next 10 days to discuss the cost and possible negotiation to also replace the bent lid. This company (San Diego Appliance Repair) turned out to be a complete scam...they just took my money and ran. Feel free to read my review on them if you're interested...certainly not as rosy as this one! :O) So...thank God for Mike and Mia at All Appliance Experts! He saved my butt, gave me back my washer that I've been without for 12 days now, and made me believe again that there are still good and decent business people out there! If you need your appliance(s) fixed, call Mike and Mia at All Appliance Experts first! They'll take great care of you! Now...back to my piles of laundry that have been sitting here for 12 days! Never been so excited to do laundry!! ;O) read more

Mike did an outstanding job on my fridge. I had someone else look at it first and they weren't able to do anything until returning the next day. Mike came afterwards and immediately identified the problem, fixed it temporarily so we wouldn't lose all our food, and came back promptly the next day with the replacement part to solve the problem. Very honest, friendly and fairly priced person. Hopefully we won't need him in the future, but if another appliance goes out on us in the future I have his number saved and would call him in a second. Highly recommended read more

I met Mike when I needed some appliances inspected for my new home and felt right away that I had met the most awesome expert!!. He is great, accommodating, friendly, honest, professional, reasonable and genuinely cares about his customers. Also, he is very well-dressed and clean-cut- soooo different than the appliance service techs I've used in the past!! He really knows his stuff! He is an expert at many brands, even my kitchen full of Viking and was able to teach me along the way. His wife takes his calls/scheduling and she is such a doll. I really like them. Genuine service, the kind that's so hard to find these days!! Mike is the only appliance expert I will ever use!!! read more

Another 5-star review for All Appliance Experts. I contacted Mike primarily based on the other reviews here on Yelp. The heating element on our 10-year old Kenmore dishwasher needed to be replaced. I left a voice mail and Mike responded a few hours later. I had sent him the model numbers via email. He said he would look into availability of the part and he would get back to me. He called the same day and explained the part was on the expensive side (which I already knew from searching online). The price he quoted me was near the lower end of what I found online. His labor charges seemed very reasonable. He said he already had acquired the part and he could come by in a couple of hours. He arrived a little early. He was pleasant, friendly, and professional. I had put my dogs in their crate, but he said it was fine for me to let them out. The repairs took about an hour. He didn't mind me watching. He did a really great job. He checked everything before he left including checking to make sure there were no leaks. Since the only way to find out if the new heating element and accompanying electronic control card work is to run the dishwasher through a cycle, it wouldn't have been practical for him to wait. He gave me his card and the invoice, and said I should call if there are any problems. I ran the dishwasher, and now it gets super hot, better than before. I let him know via email that everything's fine, and he replied right away thanking me for choosing him. Oh, and there's a 90 day warranty on the labor and 1 year warranty on the part. I will definitely contact Mike again with any future repair needs. Highly recommended! read more

Mia just saved me a huge service call fee from a Samsung designated appliance reppair center! I spoke w/Mia and explained the problem with my Samsung refrigerator, thinking it would be a major repair. After describing the problem to her, she knew right away it was a relatively simple fix. Saved me a $245 service call fee!! The customer service is above par here! read more

Had an issue with my washing machine and Mike was able to come exam the leak and fix it. Honest man with a honest business, I'm glad I was able to find him on yelp and would call him for all appliance fixes around my house. I had called 2 other companies for quotes and it all came out to be around the same pricing, but Mike was able to accommodate my schedule and come after I get off work. I would highly recommend. read more

Years ago, I had a good experience with Mike. I called him again. He diagnosed the problem and ordered the part. He was friendly and explained the issue in lame mans term. It was not an emergency. I expected him to replace the part on a Tue.. Monday was a holiday. But he called Monday and installed the new part that afternoon. Again, I am giving him a thumbs up. read more

I searched on Yelp for appliance repairs since our clothes dryer was definitely on the fritz with a burning smell that was very concerning. I'm so glad i looked on Yelp because I've never experienced such WONDERFUL repair service before dealing with All Appliance Experts. From booking the appointment to signing the invoice, the interactions were professional and friendly. We negotiated a repair time window that worked for both parties and availability was very reasonable. A confirmation call was placed the morning of the appointment with an ETA. The repairman and owner, Mike, was courteous and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the issue immediately and was happy to show us and explain the issue with our clothes dryer in as much detail as we wanted (sometimes we want a lot of details). He also provided guidance on preventative maintenance. Repair work was fast and he left our laundry room as clean as he found it. The price for a weekend repair was very fair, approximately $200 for labor and parts. I highly recommend All Appliance Experts. They are a straight-forward and experienced operation. Yay Mike! read more

My prior comment focused on Mia. She was very helpful and patient over the phone. Due to her comments, I didn't require a repair. As a retired businessman I was impressed. I wrote a glowing review and planned to use them in the future. Recently, I called regarding my washing machine. Due to weekend and holiday I agreed to wait five days til Mike was available. Mike walked up to my washing machine, moved the drum and informed me it was shot. He then said it would be $59.95 for the service call. I asked if there would be any accommodation since he had spent less than 2 minutes here. He told me everyone does it this way. I don't doubt his knowledge. But, as a former businessman, I can assure him that, while he was within his rights to charge, there are far more effective ways to retain customers and that is not one of them. I'll look elsewhere. read more

Mike at All Appliance Experts is the best of the best. He truly cares about his customers and will see them through any situation. We had a main cooling harness go out of our 4 year old Frigidare side by side, 3 times within 3 weeks. Mike came out each time, replaced the bad part but the part had been re-designed and kept going out. Being extremely frustrated from this situation, we decided to buy a new refrigerator after the 3rd part went out. This was no fault of Mike's, it was a string of bad parts from Frigidare. We bought a Kitchen Aid so should not have problems for a LONG time. If you do need an expert, call Mike! read more

My 10-year-old washer went kaput on Saturday, and Mike came out on Sunday morning, quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. He was extremely competent, very pleasant to deal with and fairly priced. I highly recommend Mike, and will definitely use him again. read more

Wow. I do not understand how this company has such good reviews, they must pay ppl to give them good ratings. I called b/c I am a property manager and am having issues with a stove at a rental unit. Spoke on the phone with a girl named Mia to tell her about the issue with my stove and to see if she could service it. Right away she continuously interrupted me and spoke very fast and was very hard to understand. Before I even could tell her what my issue was, she was very rude and asked if I was going to be at the property to let them in. When I told her I was out of town and that the tenant would be there, she again interrupted me and said, "Well, you need to put us into contact with your tenant b/c very have a very busy schedule!" OBVIOUSLY!!! WHY DON'T YOU FIRST SEE WHAT MY ISSUE IS BEFORE BADGERING ME ABOUT YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE. She asked me to tell her what was wrong with my stove and I proceeded to describe what the issues were, then once again she VERY RUDELY interrupted me right in the middle of me describing the issues to her and said, "I have another call I have to take, can you call me back in 5-10 mins?" So I simply replied, "No, I am not going to call you back. I will find someone else, thank you." and hung up on her. She then called me back a few mins later (after taking the FAR more important call) and left a message saying, "Sorry, that was Mike on the other line." Like I even know or care about who Mike is. Mia, here is some simple advice when dealing with new potential customers: -Do not interrupt and badger them constantly when they are speaking to you -DO NOT INTERRUPT TO TELL THEM YOU HAVE A MORE IMPORTANT CALL ON THE OTHER LINE AND ASK THEM TO CALL YOU BACK!! -Treat them with RESPECT and do LESS talking and MORE listening I was shocked at how rude Mia was to me and how little respect she had toward a new potential customer. Not only will I NEVER use this company, I will go out of my way to let others know not to subject themselves to the treatment this place gives to its new customers. Congrats Mia, you cost your company a potential new customer. read more

I pulled my old review of APE to update it. This makes the second service with Mike and he's still as good and honest as always. He's been keeping our ancient GE Profile fridge going for over 2 years. First call he fixed an internal water leak that had been poorly repaired by another company (they patched the broken line and it broke somewhere else). Mike routed a complete new line. Our second and most recent call was that the door started making a loud snapping noise on closing. Turns out our door was rusting out at the lower hinge causing it to snag. Alas, there was no fix other than bending the door bottom to compensate which bought us another 3 months on the fridge. Since you can't replace the door on a 14 year old fridge, it's heading for the recycle yard. Anyway, both service calls were professional and the price was reasonable. To those that complain about APE not always returning calls, be patient. He's a one-man operation and probably has more work than he can handle. That doesn't change the quality of what he actually does on a repair. read more

Since I last posted, Mike himself called me back the same day. My conversation with him was less than 5 min long, and I got the necessary information I needed and a resolution for follow-up in that time. The lady who I spoke with on my initial call also called back some time later to apology. That was a nice gesture, but I didn't need it. It actually annoyed me more that she did because in her apology, she talked for about a minute straight after I said hello before she asked if I was still there since I didn't even get a chance to say anything as soon as she started talking. I didn't want to be rude and cut her off again either. read more

I was referred through another repair company that couldn't work on my Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator to All Appliance Experts. Why manufacturers have to over-engineer appliances is another story, but I digress...Mike diagnosed and fixed two problems and then I still had problems. Through repeat visits (at no additional charge) he finally figured out why I was still having issues. Now I have a fully functioning fridge and freezer that I hope to not have to worry about repairing for years. Mike is very hard working and will come out of his way to fix your appliances. Thank you again for helping me. read more

Mike came out same day to check out our Samsung fridge ice maker. Knowledgable and Fast responsive service, great communication! Would totally recommend! Update Edit: while they were initially responsive, they fell off the face of the earth once the expensive part they replaced didn't solve the problem. I wouldn't recommend them for a Samsung fridge. read more

And... here we go! What can I say about Mike and his wife Mia.. They are an amazing duo who work perfectly with each other. Mia is a very sweet lady, and was very easy to work with. She has a soft spot for students, and often times she would talk about her son who previously went to UCSD, and such conversation would make me homesick. Then there is Mike, a very professional figure who truly understands what he was doing. He came into the house around 8:30, and left around 8:45, and I ended up with a working washer. Mike was honest with prices, and told us that him ordering an OEM part would have costed us more, and gave us the option of seeking the part ourselves. I don't think many technicians would make this move as denying purchasers this information would allow them to rack in more gains. Bottom line for this review, If you have any appliance problems, call Mike and Mia for help. :) read more

Mike and Mia are the kind of service that makes me appreciate small businesses. They are friendly, attentive, and care about their work and customers. I called them later in the day and did not expect to get service the same day. But it just so happened that Mike was on another call near my area. Even though they did not typically service the North County area where I am, he added me to his route and was there within a couple of hours to fix our ancient island gas stove top. Mike was professional, polite, fast, and very thorough in explaining what was wrong and what he was fixing. Since our appliance was so old the part needed to fix the igniter was really expensive, but instead of pitching us on a sale he made the practical suggestion of just using a lighter. He addressed the other issues and ensured the safe use of the stove and was on his way. We felt great about the service and price. We will surely use them again for our other appliance needs. read more

Not much to add beyond what's already been written. Polite, honest, trustworthy, informed, experienced, effective, fair priced. We've used Mike several times over the years and highly recommend him. Most recently we needed him to check out a leaking refrigerator at our rental property. He was overbooked but managed to go the property at 9:00pm the same day to get the job done. Why can't more people in the world be like Mike? read more

Mike squeezed me in on a Saturday when my washer was making a horrible noise. Mike diagnosed a clogged drain pump after about 5 seconds of looking at it and gave me an estimate. He unclogged the pump (without trying to upsell me a new pump) and was gone. Total time from arrival to fixed and gone: less than 30 minutes. He was very friendly and clean. His wife Mia answers the phone and makes appointments. She is a bit chatty but also nice. They both worked really hard to get me taken care of. read more

Did a great job. When I contacted them, they worked within my timeframes for an appointment and showed up when they said they would. They quickly diagnosed the problem and had the part in their truck. They were fast professional and clean. They gave me an estimate on the cost before they started and hit that number. The rate seemed fair. Every appliance issue should go like this one but unfortunately, few do. These guys were great. read more

I have used Mike a couple of times. He works non stop. He works on Saturdays and Sundays (if it is an emergency) and does not charge extra. He fixed my washing machine a year ago. He fixed my dryer this week. When there still seemed to be a problem with my dryer, he came right out and determined it was the vent to the outside, not his repair. No charge. I recommend All Appliance Repair Experts to all my family and friends. His prices are very reasonable and he is very knowledgeable. read more
