This isn't the first time I've called Fit It. So when my dishwasher stopped working I called them again. The power was completely out. Robert called me and said before I head out there could you confirm no power to the dishwasher. I said yes. He said could you go to the dishwasher and find the switch. He was clearly trying to save me from spending $ for something that would have just been a switch that got turned off. TBH, I had been staring at this switch behind my stove for the last couple of days and wondered if that was the answer, but was scared to mess with it being behind the stove. But sure enough it was the answer!! Thank you Robert for helping triage a very simple issue over the phone and saving me the $. This is why we call you guys all the time we need a hero! read more

wish I could give zero stars. I reached out to this company for help with my washer. A technician came here by the name of Gabriel M. He saw The error code my washer was giving and decided to press and hold to buttons to reset the machine. the washer he said should be fine. I paid $85 dollars and he promised me that I had a 90 day warranty so to call in case the code came back on. Sure as when he left my washer code Le came right back so I texted him. He then told me i would need a motor. I was confused as to how just hours ago the washer was stated to be okay then now it needs a motor without him even examining the washer nor showing me what was wrong. Later on he sent me an estimate with 6 different part totaling to 700 dollars. also the 85 dollars is suppose to go to any repairs nowhere in the breakdown was that deducted at all. After that he stopped responding. I've called the office several times everyone is so rude I can't talk to a supervisor manager or nothing it's all ba d read more

I wouldn't know if they are good or not. They were unable to service my "area". I don't know if it's because I live so close to the Roseland area, but they do not service the 60628 zip code area. I will say that they did text me to inform me 3 hrs later after being told I would hear back from them in 5 minutes. read more

Thank you Fix it Guy! We had an issue with our dishwasher, we were able to schedule an appointment a few days out. The technician, Gabriel, showed up on time, was kind and professional, and fixed the problem within 15 minutes. Thankfully, it was an easy fix and he didn't need to replace any parts. Because we were only charged for the visit fee, the cost was very affordable compared to other options, and the dishwasher is back working! read more

Knocking off a star. I had them out about a year ago to investigate a nearly brand new dryer that was steaming up during cycles with water dripping down the glass door. The tech was friendly enough and took apart the dryer. He confirmed nothing was wrong with the dryer and offered no other guidance. Flash forward a year, it turns out the vent right behind my drywall somehow got disconnected. I continued using the dryer, and the lint and humidity was getting blown into the space behind my drywall. I now have water under the hardwood floor on the other side of the wall that's probably been collecting and causing damage this entire time. I'm about to find out how expensive the repairs will be. Yes, I feel silly for not getting a 2nd opinion or connecting the dots sooner, but I trusted the professional who told me there was nothing more to be done. In retrospect, this vent problem seems like a pretty obvious possibility for a professional w/d repair person to point me toward instead of merely shrugging when the appliance itself wasn't broken. I suspect if Robert Sr or his son had come out, they would have provided this guidance, but in this instance a different tech was sent out. read more

These guys showed up on time, and got the job done so quickly (fixing a washer machine) for so cheap, (after Sears told us we'd be better off buying a new unit for what it would cost to repair) that I'm blown away. I will definitely be using Fix It Guys again read more

WOW!! Fix it guys are very good at what they do but they are now EXPENSIVE!! I paid $300 to replace a part in my dryer. Maybe took the nice technician 1 hr total. They've definitely increased their pricing over the last 2-3 years. They are still great but $$$. read more

These guys are great! My guy Eric came early, super easy to communicate with, very respectful, price was fair, fixed my fridge issue promptly. The whole process was easy breezy. Thank you so much Eric. read more

I asked for a quote based on the diagnosis I received from another appliance repair company. I didn't receive one.

They were amazing. Super communicative, fast, and most importantly they actually wanted to help me fix my dryer vs telling me to just buy a new one. (I made the mistake of calling sears and it was clear all they wanted to do was sell me new equipment). Thanks Robert and team! read more

We needed to change door gasket of a front load washer, and the experience with Fox-It Guy was great! The quote process was easy: messaged some pictures and information and got a free quote on the same day. The communication was very smooth and responsive. The technician came during the window provided and the work was done really quickly. We also received some tips on how to maintain the washer. Although I hope nothing falls apart in my home, I'll check with them first when I need any help. read more

You know what's awesome? Having a personable, knowledgeable, reasonably priced repair call of any kind. It seems like we're conditioned to expect the worst and I was definitely in that boat. I've repaired many of my own appliances over the years (small clogs, bad diodes, dead motors), but my dishwasher wasn't cooperating. I was pretty sure I knew what the issue was, but I couldn't get access to the parts that needed help. A search on my local neighborhood FB page turned up these folks and one thing I noticed was MANY different technicians were mentioned by name as being exceptional. This gave me some confidence that no matter who came, I would have good service. These folks have a very dialed-in text confirmation set-up including a notice when the technician was on the way. Reggie came on time and was able to quickly learn what I had done and diagnose the problem. He got the stubborn part detached and sure enough - a wayward piece of plastic was the culprit. He got things back together quickly, confirmed it was draining and pre-emptively ordered a sensor to have on hand in case the error message wasn't resolved by the morning. All this while being personable and professional. I'd wholeheartedly use these folks again and recommend others do as well. read more

Fix It Guy Appliance Repair Chicago - Reggie hard at work - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sounds scammish......, given an appointment online, got home that night to find two messages requesting my credit card information "to save time" up front, but how long does it take to swipe or tap a card these days, and then suddenly there were no technicians in my area on my appointment day. Not using a card that is going to charge me for the privilege of using it. Ever. Besides, everyone knows cash is king. Well, check your zip code before asking for anything in this city online, human being unseen. Just so you will know, do not be surprised if your credit worthiness/monetary integrity is an issue before an appointment is confirmed. read more

Service was great! Thorough in explaining what happened. Notices were timely and met expectation on arrival. Provided a text with eta.

They serviced our oven and years ago our fridge. These guys are always kind, informative and reasonable. These guys are for sure our go-to appliance people! Prices are fair and affordable. read more

Actually I was quite impressed with these guys. I called to get my refrigerator checked out and serviced. They arrived right on time and did what was asked. No upsell, no fake "this is what needs to be replaced". Just prompt quality service with knowable techs at fair price. read more

Having moved to new cities every 4 or 5 years for the last 25 years I've learned to prioritize assembling a great team of contractors. It took me a few years, but I finally found my appliance service company. I have a ~20 year old Sub-Zero fridge that was in rough shape. Robert gave me a fair price, and did an outstanding job of fixing the unit. It works now like it's brand new. I couldn't be happier. I can tell that he has a strong team that works alongside him, and he clearly cares about training the next generation of repair talent. I couldn't be happier. read more

Reggie came out to the next day after contacting the company through Yelp, he was able to diagnose and fix my dryer in less than 15 minutes. No more loud banging noises. He also gave a suggestion to help my dryer collect lent more efficiently. I ordered the item and he came back to install that too. I highly recommend Fix It Guy. Very timely and professional and actually fixes the problem. read more

We didn't even make it to the appointment to replace a light bulb in a microwave ... that's a 1 star! We signed up for the appointment online and it was confirmed. A day later I get a txt message to provide a credit card, so they have it on file. No, we don't send credit card information, we use a debit card on completion, check or cash. If they provide banking details for a direct-transfer we can do that to, but we don't provide financial information. Sounds pretty shady. A person from Fixed It Guy cancelled the appointment. Solid 1 star! read more

Alright, so you shouldn't expect me to give 4 stars after four weeks of misery from a broken washer but I will say that though the owner Robert was a touch slow in responding at times (he's a small business owner and I trust he's busy), he seemed very genuine in his desire to make things right and in acknowledging how rare such events occur. I appreciated his coming down to personally unstack and stack the new washer we had to buy since most stores won't stack a new washer on an existing dryer and he offered before I asked. My wife said he and his team seemed very genuine in making sure everything was hooked up nice. In all, I do feel he was trying to be fair with his handling of the situation. The fact that I would possibly consider trying them again says something. Like I said, maybe could have been quicker to respond but they did act genuinely. once burned it's just hard to take the risk. read more

Fix It Guy Appliance Repair Chicago - Working dryer...RIP washer (5 years old, on the bottom) - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely not. Used them 9 years ago and they were horrible and I forgot. My washer was acting up and saying "DC" and they came out and were here 10 minutes and said they reset it and it was fine. As soon as they left, it did it again. They couldn't come back for another week. This time I ask them to actually try to wash something and test it and yep it was doing it again. They say it needs some parts and they can come back in another week. Today it's been another week and they come and are here a half hour, they leave and say it's fixed. Guess what, it's doing the SAME thing again. I've paid over $400 so far for NOTHING. Avoid this company. I could have bought a new washer and had it in by now for close to this amount! read more

I have a Thermador fridge from the prior owner of the home. Getting it fixed turned into a bit of a mess. The Thermador-blessed repair shop has horrid reviews. Most others didn't have anyone who could do them. Others said "yeah, sure" a bit too quickly. When I spoke with Fix It Guy's scheduling, they gave me confidence that they could service the Thermador because they had a specific technician they needed to schedule. Long-story short: (1) diagnostic visit and (2) a relatively quick follow up and my pool of water and ice in the bottom of the fridge is gone. The diagnosis and fix lined up with all the evidence so I trust we solved the actual problem. Thanks! read more

The staff is very responsive via texts. Patric is efficient and tidy. Explained everything clearly. True professional.

Robert and his protege fixed my refrigerator today. Some sort of heating element that keeps the freezer from frosting up was bad. They basically disassembled and reassembled it in about an hour. Everything is working great now. These guys are pros, very content and appreciative. read more

10/10! We had a broken dishwasher as well as a gasket that needed to be replaced in a washer. I had actually called both Fix-It Guy & Act Fast Appliance Repair and initially went with Act Fast as they were cheaper. However.... you get what you pay for. And so fast forward to a month later we then called Fix-It Guy to do the job that Act Fast couldn't. The difference in professionalism was night & day- from the pre-appointment communication levels to the day-of service. The team who came to fix both the dishwasher+washer was fabulous and had the jobs done quickly and were both super friendly. Fit-It Guy will be our go-to first call for all appliance repairs moving forward. read more

Good Service. Jacob does a good job and Armando & Iliana are the best employees there. Fantastic customer service. They've come to fix our dryer, dishwasher drain and the freezer ice machine. All those appliances are fully functional now and they gave us good tips to keep them running smoothly. Prices are reasonable as well read more

Overall, I had a good experience using Fix-it Guy to repair my dryer. It was easy to communicate with the company and schedule an appointment. The technician was very professional, organized, and efficient: he identified and fixed the issue very quickly and the whole appointment took much less time than I anticipated. The total repair cost was a bit higher than I expected, as the estimate I received did not include mention of the cost of parts, which was considerable. I realize those costs cannot be determined until the issue is assessed, but it would have been appropriate to reference that in the original estimate. Finally, my biggest annoyance is that when processing the payment at the very end, a big gratuity option was displayed on the screen, which really surprised me and made me feel obligated to leave a tip. Tipping is generally not standard practice for a service repair job like this that already cost me almost $400, and I was really surprised and disappointed to be put in that position (and also disappointed in myself for caving under pressure). read more

Service call costs $65-85. From there, actual service price varies. Our old mounted microwave all of a sudden, stopped working. No electricity was running to it. No clock. Interior light was out. So I bought a similar model Frigidaire from Menard's to replace it. New one was working fine until it had the same problem 2 months later. Scheduling the appt was easy! Email any question about the process including price breakdown, you'll get a very clear answer. Your tech Patric was prompt & efficient professional. He claimed he had never seen my situation where the manufacturer left a wire loose. Within a half hour, he found & tightened the wire. It works great now!!! It took several months to find you! Now that I have, I'll never lose you!!! read more

Oh, the joys of home ownership! Saw a spark coming out of the stove a few weeks ago which gave us a scare. After calling Wolf and turning off the circuit breaker I started my search for appliance repair. Sadly many companies do not work on higher-end appliances. Wolf customer service referred me to a company that would've charged 2-300 dollars just to come out and diagnose the problem. I found Bobby and the Fix-It Guys on Yelp with excellent reviews. Valerie responded to my request for a quote immediately. She was professional and informative. The ease of this process gave me confidence that they meant business! I was able to schedule an appointment within a few days. Scheduling, email/text notifications, digital receipts were all instant. Valerie was a joy to work with. We were fortunate to meet Bobby, the owner of the company to help us out. Apparently our oven fan switch wiring corroded and this was what sparked...the spark! The part was ordered immediately and a follow-up visit scheduled for today, a Saturday. Bobby explained that the part was probably affected by overzealous cleaning spray that got inside the electrical components, causing them to corrode and short-circuit. He repaired it efficiently and we were all done in minutes! His work has a 3 month warranty. I learned about maintenance tips for my oven and a bit about his story and company, which has been in existence for over 10 years now. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Bobby and his company. Everything was professional and smooth. It's clear that he cares about his reputation, his employees, and of course his customers. I highly recommend him! read more

I've been using fix it guy for at least 10 years. Always prompt, professional and knowledgeable. They have fixed various appliances of mine throughout the years. Bobby and Hector are great to work with. read more

Fix it guy sent out a technician in Nov. 2019 to repair my tenant's refrigerator that was leaking water. He informed me that a new controller was needed. He ordered the part and replaced it. The job cost me over $350 dollars. The tenant tells me just recently that the same problem is persisting. I went back to Fix It Guy to request another diagnosis. This repair technician tells me that it was misdiagnosed and that a simple drain part was needed. I called the company to ask if they would work with me on the repair cost due to the incorrect diagnosis in November. They refused. They didn't even offer to pay for the new part which only cost $15.00. Fix It Guy, is $15.00 bucks worth losing an entire sell, future business, and a bad review? Well guess what Fix It Guy? I can be ripped off by anyone. I will take my business elsewhere. I'm sure I can find quality service for much cheaper than what I paid for it with you. read more

I have used these guys several times over the last few years. They always gave great service and even better advice. It is important to mention that every one that I spoke with or came in my home were not only professional but very personable. Having a major appliance broken is a major pain. Having good people to guide you through the repair or replacement makes it feel a lot better. I didn't keep any names but I appreciate all of the crew that has come through in the past few years. Thank you. read more

Called this morning with a what I thought was a broken dryer.. they set me up with an appointment right away . The repair guy called and asked for a model number so he can pick up the part prior to getting to my house. Low and behold Reggie had arrived & he took the dryer apart ...there was nothing wrong with it ?! Maybe off track ? He could've easily said there was something wrong just to charge for parts and labor but he didn't he was very professional and very funny! I would definitely recommend this company!! Great customer service & great employees! read more

On their website, you can't find ANY pricing information at all! You can't get any quote either. One of their techs came out to fix a refrigerator in a senior citizen apartment and the cost was $243!! No parts were needed, just unclog one of the tubes. The job took 30mins to do! When I asked about the price breakdown, I was told there was no hourly rate just a standard beginning price of 235.00 plus fees regardless how long the job took!!! That is ridiculous!! They have no problem telling you ahead that there is a 85.00 fee for the tech to come out and look at the problem. However, they DID NOT AT MOMENT SHARE that the minimum price is 235.00!! My tenant brought the refrigerator with her and I offered as a good landlord to go half with her ahead of time. She is 85 years old, leaving alone and not in good health!! This was highway robbery to say the least!!! If it wasn't because it's difficult for her to bend over and clean the leaking water, I would have gone somewhere else without a doubt!!! I just couldn't do that to her!!! We were completely BLINDSIDED AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED!!! read more

In response to the owner, No Price on repair labor was given in advance. The $85 service fee was understood right away, but if you want to get technical what am I paying for being diagnosed when I can see the microwave handle fell off. $110 plus $85 service fee for 10 minutes work & no parts necessary. Must be nice to be you! I was told the labor was dependent on the repair. And as it is your website says the service call for a microwave is $65 not $85. $195 for 10 minutes labor and no parts! Where does the $110 come from...hourly, by the quarter hour? So I can let all your future customers know that if they need the repair guy to crawl under an appliance it's going to cost the same as 2 screws...yeah, right. Flat labor, so if you spend 2 hours that customer is only paying $110 for labor? Give me a break! You guys are the only ones making up pricing as you go along. I've dealt with enough of you in my lifetime...and women by far get ripped off the most when it comes to home repairs. How do you sleep at night, rip offs...that's all you repair guys are! I'm so tired of getting ripped off by repairmen & contractors. I had used this company in past because of a broken washing machine. It was an expensive repair and took 2 weeks to get done but it was still cheaper than a new washer (not by much). So I thought I had found a reliable place, guess I was fooled. I was aware of $85 service fee, so I scheduled them to fix the handle on an a microwave & take a look at dishwasher that wasn't draining. The woman scheduling said the labor etc was dependent on what needed to be done & parts, if any necessary. The screws had come off but were inside the door and I didn't want to crack anything so I just would rather it get fixed without me messing it up. The dishwasher ended up being a plumbing problem, so nothing to be fixed. I'll call a plumber. The microwave took less than 10 minutes to fix. He popped the door piece off with a putty knife and screws right there, no parts necessary. He then tallied it up $85 for service call, $110 for labor. I gulped & paid it...mad but what can I do. I paid it. I looked at the clock. He had literally been in my apartment for 23 minutes. About 6 minutes was trying to get the credit card swipe to work & there was a bathroom break (and would've been nice if the seat was put down & he flushed). He left, I'm still upset at paying & $ 195 for someone to screw two screws in & less than 10 minutes labor. $85 for service call, I expected a bit over that but nothing else was required...no screws nothing. Then I look at the handle and it's apparent to me that there's an upside and downside to it and it's screwed on wrong. The lip of handle now hanging just a tad past the door. I called back immediately. He came back and you know what- I let him have it. $110 for 10 minutes labor, no parts, etc. He hurried out left the door as is. I took out my own putty knife and screwdriver and fixed it. Wish I had in the first place now. I'm tired of being ripped off by repair places. Have some decency. I don't make $300 an hour nor do most people. Don't try to scope customers out and see how much you can squeeze out of "this sucker". I've had it with electricians, plumbers, contractors, auto repair & appliance repairmen. The tech said they'd refund the $110 but until it appears on my statement I don't trust anyone. Here's a friggin idea! Charge people a reasonable charge for labor...not $110 for two screws that took 10 minutes. Then guess what, those people use your company again and again and recommend you to other people. But when you bold face rip off the "nice lady" - guess what, you're dead to me. read more

I'm extremely confused I used their service on August 13, 2021, the repairs were made, and I paid the bill $204.48 (although they had to come back, the repairs were not completed correctly) After not connecting the hoses to my washer. Which took 3 days to get the repairman back. Now, January 18, 2022, they charge my card another $90.00 ( your required to give credit card info to book a appointment ? )( I should have known then ) I feel as though I'm getting scammed, and no resolution after calling their office. The lady who answered the phone said they failed to charge me for parts, but my bill shows a charge of $139.48 for parts and $65.00 service charge for the total $204.48 after I disputed my charges with my credit card I received a call from the business's owner who apologized and tried to explain the additional charge but agreed that it was done incorrectly and agreed to drop the erroneous $90.00 charges and I asked him to delete my credit card info. He agreed and apologized that it shouldn't have happened that way I'm optimistic that I will not be billed again in June I'm kidding I hope read more

I had called the Appliance Repair Doctor for an appointment, but their repair person was on vacation. The owner recommended these guys. Was able to set up the appointment on Yelp, which was great. They were quite responsive and I was able to get an appointment in no time. I got a text message a day before the appointment as a reminder as well as a link to download an app called House Call. Very useful app as it had all of the info for my appointment Can't say enough good things about Robert and his assistant Horace. Both gentlemen were professional and pleasant. The repair to the frig was done in about 10-15 mins. The dishwasher took a little longer, but they were able to troubleshoot it, order the part during the visit and schedule a visit to do the repair in several days. I hope I don't have to see these guys that often but man they will be on list of people to call if I need something repaired at home. I sent their contact info to all of my neighbors in the event they need in-house repairs. read more

Robert is amazing, he diagnosed my fridge's problem in just a few minutes and let me know exactly what I needed to do. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get their appliances fixed FAST AND EASY!!! read more
