Michael was knowledgeable and straightforward about assessing our washer. He gave us his honest opinion on whether we should go ahead with the repair or get a new one. After deciding to go ahead with the repair, he encouraged my husband to watch and learn. Aside from his professionalism, he was kind, honest and generous with his advice and even had a chance to "talk story" with my husband about family and other experiences. He is truly a local "gem" and we were lucky to have him to service our washer. We won't hesitate to call him again! AWESOME!! read more

Met Mike today, awesome guy, friendly and knowledgeable. Fixed my dryer problem within an hour and charged me a fair price. I would recommend Mike to anyone needing appliance repair. Thanks Mike! read more

I needed to find a repairman as our washer stopped working during mid-cycle. I called 4 appliance repair business with good reviews on Yelp (two of which I used before) and Michael was the only one to return my call. He showed up promptly on the appointed day. I was a little surprised when he told me to stay with him as he diagnosed the problem. I watched as he went through the diagnostic steps which eventually identified the problem. He asked if my wife could join us so he can ask some questions. He wanted to know if we noticed any other problems, in particular if the washer was experiencing more "off balance" warnings. After he gave us a quote to repair the washer (which was reasonable), he gave us a rundown of our washer's condition; i.e. what could go wrong in the coming years and expected life of the washer (it was already 7 years old). We felt like he wanted to give us as much information as possible so we could make the best decision on whether or not to go ahead with the repair. We decided to fix our washer and he returned later that day to complete the repair. Needless to say, we were both impressed with Michael's sincere effort to make sure we make an informed decision. Michael professionalism, honesty, and his "give as much information as possible" attitude cannot be fully described in this short review. From now on, Michael at Aloha Appliance Service is the first person I'll call if our appliance needs fixing! read more

Micheal is super honest and friendly person. He came by today to check on my mom's glass top stove because one of the burners is working intermittently. Micheal told us since the stove is about 16 years old, just use it until it breaks the get a breaks then get a new one. It wouldn't worth it for my mom to fix it because it be pretty close to what a new one would cost. He also gave my mom places where to buy a new stove too and where they can install it for us. He's very honest and doesn't take advantage of people. I'm going to recommend him to my friends and family, it's hard to find a honest and reliable person like Micheal. read more

Michael communicated well prior to the appointment, which in itself, was quicker than I expected. Extremely friendly, he was on time, explained what work was involved while he performed it, and also provided tips on how to prevent future issues. He accepts either cash or check for payment but we will definitely contact him for our appliance repair needs in the future. read more

Professional to the highest degree. Provides timely, efficient service. His expertise is unmatched.

Discovered our dryer not heating up yesterday. I left a message and Michael contacted me about 20 minutes later and was able to set up an appointment for this afternoon. He asked what the problem was and for the model number of our dryer. He showed up on time, with the likely culprit part (heating element) in hand. He went step by step showing me how to take apart the dryer and how to test the parts to in fact determine that it was a bad heating element. He explained everything that he was doing to me. Michael is so meticulous, detail orientated and FRIENDLY! He had our dryer up and running in no time. He even asked if we had any other problems with any other appliances while he was here, and I explained a problem that we are having with our ice maker, and he showed me how to fix it myself! I am so glad that we went with Aloha Appliance Service and will definitely recommend and use again! read more

Michael is awesome. He is definitely reliable, dependable, and knows appliance repair at an expert level. More importantly, he is honest and highly ethical. Michael could have just repaired my washer and my dryer, but he went way beyond that. First, he clearly showed me what the problems were with my appliances. He taught me how to service them myself to keep them running well and to reduce repair costs. Finally, Michael let me know that I would be better off getting new appliances. He said the final decision was mine, but he thought I'd be wasting money if I did the repairs because other problems could develop very soon. I truly appreciated his honesty. Moreover, he is genuinely friendly and nice to work with. The rates he quoted me were very fair, too. I will be calling Michael in the future for any repair work I need done on my appliances. read more

Michael does an amazing job. I called and left a message and received a call back within 10 minutes. He was able to schedule me in the same day. I text him a video and photo of my Kenmore Dryer that was making a squeaking noise. He said he has the parts and it can be done today. He called me when he was leaving another job site. That was professional of him to do that type of curtesy call for his customers. He arrived and educated my husband what he is doing and looking for. So that in the future, my husband can do it and will save me the money for someone else doing it. I love the fact that he gave me helpful tips so that we don't break our dryer. I highly recommend you to save his information as your contacts for house appliance maintenance because he is not your average service repair man that just goes in and out of your home. Knowledge is power. And I'm sure you will gain a lot of knowledge during the time he is there in your home. read more

Although I ultimately decided not to go with the service, I appreciated the owners up front pricing, the information he provided and the suggestions he made. You really get a sense that he cares about his craft and clientele. If repair is the only option for your situation, I'd 100% recommend this business. read more

Michael came to my house to help diagnose my broken washer. He already asked for information on the phone. He was honest and up front that there were two different problems and 1 of the parts were on back order, which would require a second house call. This would not be a simple fix for me so I decided to go with option B since my washer was creeping up on 8 years so better I buy a new one. Top notch customer service! read more

Michael was Shaka! He called right away after I left a message. I sent him a video of what was happening with my washer so he could make an assessment. He came the next day, ran some tests and gave me the bad news that the motor was broken. He apologized multiple times for being the bearer of bad news. He also recommended washers to purchase which made life easy for me. He's honest, reliable, friendly and trustworthy. Highly recommend Mike at Aloha Appliance Service. read more

My 'Cooktop On' light on my stove would not turn off, even if all my burners were off. I came across Mike on yelp & I'm so glad that I did. Mike came this morning around 9ish. He was SUPER nice, very friendly & educated me on everything that he was doing. Educated me on what to look for next time, how to change things, & what not to do so I could prevent this from happening again. He also tightened my oven handle because it was loose & he told me he didn't want the glass to break & my kids get hurt. Overall, I loved his service & I would definitely recommend him to whoever needs a repair. read more

A small water leak (1 drop/10 sec) developed in the back of my Kenmore Elite refrigerator. I researched Yelp and found Aloha Appliance Services with a high rating and positive reviews about the owner, Michael. Noteworthy was how he explained the whole repair process, costs for parts and labor, and then provided a recommendation. Through our discussion, I was convinced that Michael had my best interest in mind. And of course, he will do whatever I was willing to pay him to do. Well after Michael noticed that my refrigerator was manufactured in 2008, e.g. 15 years old, he quickly pointed out that although replacing the water valve, tubing, water filter housing, ice maker (I had small overflow problems) that the costs of parts and labor was quickly pointing to buying a new refrigerator. Michael highly recommended keeping the design simple and try to stay away from all the fancy gadgets and electronics. He also pointed out that due to the age, e.g. close to the end of life, who knows what else may break. In the end, I decided to forgo the repair and look for a replacement refrigerator. Michael demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and experience that reflected years of learning to troubleshoot, understand systems and components and their interaction, and problem solve. read more

The drain pan on my fairly new refrigerator cracked. Michael replied quickly to my call, requested model information via text and had already attempted to obtain the replacement before he even came out, which was all on the same day that I called! When he found the part had to be ordered, he brought materials in hopes of being able to patch the pan. Unfortunately that was not possible. He confirmed that the part was ordered before he left (and it took multiple calls!). He was very sincerely regretful that he had to make a return visit to replace the part, but I was more than willing to have him return for a very reasonable price to complete the repair. Initially he thought it would take two weeks, but the part was here in 1 week. Michael was able to return and quickly replace the damaged pan. He was also extremely helpful showing me preventative maintenance. I highly recommend his services! read more

Michael of Aloha Appliance Service helped me with a problem I had with my ice maker. I mentioned to him the model and problem I had. He told me that he wasn't certified to work on that type of ice maker but gave me suggestions on what I could do to possibly remedy the problem. I'm so glad he was honest with me that he and many other companies on island aren't certified to fix this brand. The suggestion he gave me was simple and not anything that involved touching any of the mechanical parts. After following his suggestion, my ice maker started to work. This saved me $140 diagnostic fee charged by the company the manufacture goes through. I would highly recommend this company for your appliance repair needs. read more

I am so pleased with this company. He showed me the areas that needed to be repaired. He explained clearly what he was doing. He also explained he likes to make sure he fixed all the areas that was leaking before he leaves. Although he likes to be paid in cash he gives you a receipt. He even explained how whomever came and installed washer they should have leveled the washer as the garage slopes down on one side. He would have done it except he did not have a level. I definitely recommend this company and will use him again if we ever need repairs done. read more

I truly appreciated how Michael walked me through each step and showed me HOW he was checking each part. He was very thorough when explaining how each part worked, and visually showed me the readings on his tools. He was very patient, thorough and seem to enjoy explaining how things worked with the refrigerator. I would highly recommend his services to Anyone! read more

Our ice maker wasn't making ice for more than a couple of days and after my husband checked to see if the ice maker arm was in the right place, it seemed that it was in the same position all the time. And not having ice for a couple of days already, was a bit frustrating. Hubby called one repair company through a referral, but it was going to take a week for him to just come out and see the problem. That's when I jumped on Yelp right away, found this company, read the other reviews and opted to go with Aloha Appliance Service. We called and Mike the owner, came the very next day. Mike was a true professional, as he checked the entire freezer out and then told us exactly what the problem was. He was very honest, thorough, and explained everything to my husband in detail, which is non existent these days for a business owner because of the time involved. Mike went above and beyond what we expected to repair our ice maker and had such a pleasant demeanor and attitude. If ever we need future repairs for our refrigerator, we know who to call and I truly recommend Mike and his Company. You won't be disappointed, rather a very happy camper! read more

Look no further! Michael is detailed in his explanations, thorough in his assessments, and knowledgeable on a variety of appliance brands. He wanted to save our 20yr old washer, but ultimately told us that it wasn't cost effective for us to have him repair it. How's that for trustworthy? So we gained a new washer and a new fix-it guy today. Thanks Michael! read more

Mike is truly an amazing gem and an honest professional! Our rental's refrigerator stopped running cold air suddenly, so I quickly hopped on Yelp to find the closest repair company with the highest Yelp rating. After reading all the wonderful reviews about Mike, I knew he was the one we should reach out to. My husband called him in the morning and Mike answered right away and was able to stop by the rental within 2 hours of the call! He was very thorough with diagnosing the problem, explaining what needed to be repaired, and give us advice on staying away from the brand of refrigerator we had purchased since the repair is a common problem with the fridge we have. We are so impressed by Mike's professionalism, good communication, and quick repair work! I highly recommend calling Mike for all your appliance repair needs! read more

Thank you so much for your honesty! I called Mike to see if he could fix our washer. He called back right away and he said right from the start if it's a computerized washer, there is no sense in repairing it. He said it's not worth the money spent. He asked me to send the model and serial number which I could not locate. He helped me locate it via text and sent me pictures of where to find that information. BTW, it's located under the washer lid. I was still thinking it would be cheaper to fix it. So I asked Mike a few more questions via text. He quoted me $250+. I asked him what are the chances of the machine breaking down with something else wrong? He was straight forward and said, it would probably not last too much longer since it was 7 years old. It's hard to find honest repair people like him. He could have said he could fix it and charged me in excess of the $250, but he declined and said, it's not worth fixing. Thank you, Mike! read more

Always honest and reliable service. Thank you for always being there to fix my dryer. Working great now.

My dryer wouldn't turn on... I tried to fix it myself but couldn't figure it out. My mom gave me Michael's number and said "this guys is super good". I called and within an hour he came and fixed the issue. Got my dryer working like a champ. He is super friendly and explained to me what old parts needed to be changed out. It was also great talking stories. read more

Just wanted to add to my review because I see i reviews another appliance repair service four years ago and said I'd use them for all my repairs. I did call Affordable Appliance Repair for this job, too, but they were not going to be available for quite some time. That's why I ended up calling Aloha. Just in case anyone was wondering... read more

I'm a hard rater and I never gave anyone 5 stars, but Michael deserves every one of them. He's a gem, hard to find in today's world. Honest, prompt, friendly, courteous, reasonable pricing, super knowledgeable in his trade, and very generous with sharing his knowledge. Puts customers interest first. reminds me of the good old days where reputation was everything. He knew exactly what to do to fix my GE range. First try and everything worked like new. I would definitely go with Michael again and recommend him to anyone! read more

Michael is a pleasant and experienced repairman. He has helped me fix my washer. I told him it wasn't agitating, he already knew what the problem is. The part didn't need to be ordered, he had the part on hand. He repaired my washer in a timely manner. He saved me the hassle of buying a new washer. Thanks to Michael. read more

Michael was the best! He came to our home quickly and checked our refrigerator for possible causes for our problem. He diagnosed the issue and told us parts were not needed. We just had to turn off the refrigerator for 6 hours to defrost ice build up between the refrigerator and freezer. It was humbug but it worked. Our refrigerator is cold again and keeping at a safe temperature. I recommend this company without any hesitation. Michael was fair, honest and knowledgeable. Thanks Michael. read more

Michael returned our call promptly and his svc was efficient and thorough. He repaired our dryer the same day of repair request call.

Rocky and his assistant did a great job for me as the professional installers for a Bosch dishwasher, bought and contracted through Lowe's. Rocky coordinated with me over a weekend, taking into account my schedule, etc. They were right on time, were professional, friendly, neat and tidy -- everything was in and out quite quickly. I will use Aloha Appliance for future needs for sure! read more

This is a great company. Aloha Appliance was contracted by Lowes in Kahului to install a microwave and a dishwasher as part of a four piece appliance suite purchased for our condo. Rocky from Aloha Appliance called me to say they were the installers. We are off island so Rocky also called to let me know the dishwasher and microwave had arrived at Lowes , offered to check where the fridge and range were, called when they arrived at Lowes, offered to be sure Lowes delivery would drop off the fridge and range on the same day Aloha installed their appliances as just the one day was available and, then called the night before to be sure we were set for delivery and install the next day. All the while, I never got any information from Lowes and couldn't even get through to a store employee despite multiple phone calls. I'd hire Aloha again for anything they can do. read more

Michael is very professional and highly knowledgeable. He came on a Saturday after one of his annual appliance training sessions (he apparently keeps current with the industry, like all good professionals). He then diligently checked my broken refrigerator and diagnosed all of the issues, and even asked that I watch his work so that he could explain what he was finding in real time. He was very specific and took the time to explain exactly why a particular component was not working properly. In the end, he gave me his estimate and left it to me to decide whether he should go ahead and fix the problems or not. With the information he patiently explained to me, I decided to forgo repairs and buy a new fridge. I did pay his fee for a home visit, which was in line with the other quotes I was given. Michael is exactly the kind of repair profession I am looking for! You bet I will keep him in my contact list whenever I need appliance repairs! read more

I'll be using Aloha Appliance Service for ALL future repairs! I was able to schedule an appointment within 2 days and he even called me if I was available to start the repair sooner. Michael gave great customer service and even showed me the problem and gave me 2 options for what worked best. Quick hassle free experience! read more

Michael was super in responding to our urgent to repair our refrigerator. Not only did he come within 2 hours of my call he went thru the testing process explaining each step. He also gave us tips in case we need to purchase a new refrigerator. He's become our go to appliance repairman. read more

I have used Aloha on two different occasions and I'll be calling them whenever I need appliance repairs. Simply put, Michael does honest, decent work at a fair price. read more

I have been using Michael for a number of years. He always educates me about problem and gives an honest estimate. He recently looked at my mom's refrigerator. He diagnosed problem with ice maker and valve. His final recommendation was he could fix it but would not have it repaired because of cost and age of refrigerator. I like his honesty and his rates are reasonable. read more

My dryer started making a high screeching sound recently and I came to Yelp to find someone to help me. Michael is such an honest and informative man. I loved the fact that i called him on a Monday and he offered to come by on that Tuesday. I ended up cancelling bc I was going to buy a new one. My plans went south when I came to the realization that COVID had stopped production and most appliances were backordered. To my dismay, I called Michael back and decided to try and repair my current machine and keep it going for a while longer in hopes that we can hold out until appliances are back in stock. Again, he offered the very next day. I am very happy with the service to my dryer. He first explained everything he was going to do. He showed me all the parts he replaced. He did everything in a timely manner and even gave me buying advice before leaving. Thank You Michael for the tips on buying a new laundry center when that day arrives and Thank You for extending the life of my "old faithful" until then. read more

Micheal is a pro through and through. I had with my washing machine not working and making noises. Micheal was able to accurately diagnose the problem and helped me fix it. He took the time to explain what was happening then gave options to remedy the problem. Micheal is easy to talk too and even pleasure to learn of his deep knowledge of appliances. Highly recommend using Aloha Appliance and Repair! read more

My refrigerator was leaking water and he was able to squeeze me in the next day! He explained what he was doing and made lots of helpful suggestions. Price was very reasonable and I would highly recommend him for refrigerator repair! read more

I highly recommend Aloha Appliance Service! My washing machine broke, and the other companies I usually use didn't call back right away, so I pulled up Yelp. Michael Choe, who I found out has been in business for years, diagnosed the problem over the phone, gave me a quote, and said the job shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Michael stopped by my house and changed out the washing machine's transmission within minutes. The whole time he worked on our machine, he described in detail what he was doing, and he shared helpful hints, tricks he learned over the years, all so I could do the repair myself in the future. After he was done, Michael saw some loose wiring and connectors that weren't properly installed so he quickly squared it away free of charge. When all was said and done, Michael charged me less than he originally quoted, did extra work for free, and he was nice, friendly, and professional the whole time. Boy, I wish I knew about Aloha Appliance Service years ago. I could have saved a lot money over the years, and had a lot quicker service! read more
