Alex is wonderful! We would trust him to work on any appliance we have. He worked on our refrigerator today and knew exactly what the problem was. Fixed it quickly and the cost was very reasonable. He's very knowledgeable and just a very nice person. To add to all of this, , he's always on time! Thank you. read more

WARNING! DO NOT USE. I highly recommend finding another company as they take part in VERY deceptive pricing practices for their replacement parts, charging you substantially more for OEM parts and then installing cheap generic parts you can find online for 1/10th the price. I used them to repair my Samsung Oven. They came out same day. Technician was polite, clean, and did a good job. The labor price was a little high, but I was ok with that because of the above mentioned reasons. No complaints on the technician or his work at this point. The part I needed, a new Samsung OEM igniter, was being shown to me as $209 on "Sears Parts Direct" however every other website, including Amazon, shows the exact part for $65 or less. After finally agreeing to the install, I asked for my old broken piece and the box from the new one. I found that the new igniter they gave me was a generic universal Coorstek 501A igniter, which is everywhere for $20, not the Samsung part they showed and quoted me. When I called them to ask about it, the lady said they used a universal igniter and it would work no problem. So she confirmed it was a universal igniter and not the Samsung OEM part that was shown to me that costs $209 on "Sears Parts Direct." She then tried walking it back when I said my concern was about the price, not whether it would work. When I brought up the sticker that was left behind on the box of the replacement part that showed "Coorstek 501A," Which is a universal igniter, she said that would have been from the one that was broken and not my new one that they installed. So this sticker on the box, that looks brand new, is from my old igniter that has been in an oven for 6 years. I reached out to Samsung and they verified that my oven Model did not come with the Coorstek 501A igniter, but they do work as a replacement. So the sticker could have only been there from them using it as the replacement part. Long story short, they showed and quoted me a Samsung OEM igniter that was $209, and told me I was getting a deal by "only being charged $150 for it," and they ended up giving me a $20 universal igniter. Completely unacceptable. If they did it to me, I assume they do it to everyone they can. After calling and texting Globo Help about this issue, the person became hostile/angry and said I was lying. read more

Very disappointed after reading all the great reviews that my experience was the exact opposite. The technician did come out promptly and gave me confidence that he identified the problem and would comeback with the part within a week to repair it. After months of communicating with the owner, they claim they were unable to get a replacement part, wouldn't give me the part number so I could attempt to source one myself and claimed they wouldn't install a part unless they personally sourced it. So with no option and nothing but false promises, I'm forced to give them a 1 star. As an Elite Yelper, I try not to give such negative scores and reviews as I believe in supporting small business but this one I can't standby. Give them a chance if you want to gamble... hopefully they'll be able to fix your appliance but my personal experience is they are not able to fix Viking appliances or Microwaves. read more

GLOBO Help - Technician who left my microwave unplugged and unable to open the door. Claimed he'd come back but never did. - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Very bad service. Man that came had limited English, while that was not a big deal to me when I tried to ask a question he did not answer and the 1 question he did answer was very cavalier and arrogant. My machine needed the seal, had to wait for part and it was wrong size. Had to be reordered. On both occasions we called the company to find out when they were coming to finish the job. In total it took over 2 weeks to complete job. On the second visit, the repair person broke my front panel at the point were screws were located and a sizable Crack was made. He never apologized only tried to put blame on age of machine. Would not recommend. I would give zero stars if possible. read more

I had globo help troubleshoot and replace a gas oven igniter. They quoted me $300 repair for parts and labor. When I asked them what the life expectancy of these parts is. They said 5-10 years depending on how much I use the oven, which made sense since this oven is about 8 year old. So I figured $300 was worth it if I don't have to buy a new oven again. Their igniter died two and half months later.... I called back to see what could be done about this issue. Their answer was "we can give you a $10 discount ... " and " it not their problem because they are not a manufacturer". I would think twice before paying these guys. Now I am $300 short and I still have to find someone that stands behind their product and services :( Just a heads up for anyone who is looking to use these guys, you'll end up being on your own once you pay them and they leave your house. read more

Jin provided great service repairing my oven! He was quick, efficient and professional

Don't recommend this business!!!!! I had my dishwasher serviced by Globo company on 8/21. My dishwasher door wouldn't close thought it had something to do with the door switch. The service tech changed a part which had nothing to do with the issue I was having with the door not closing. Somehow he was able to get the door closed without changing any parts. The dishwasher was working that day of the repair. I was charged $275 on 8/21/23. Last Monday, I was experiencing the same issues with the door not closing. I called the office and spoke to a woman (don't know her name) explain the issue and she let me know it would cost me an additional $165 to send a tech over to look at it, or I can just order the part and install it myself. I ordered the correct switch and had someone else install the part. Turns out the issue has nothing to do with the switch. The level (bottom left side) needed to be replaced. The door wasn't aligned which prevented the door from closing. The tech should've seen that and took the time to fix it. He did a crappy patch up job and it cost me $275. When I called they told me to buy a part which had nothing to do with the issue. To make matters worse, they want to charge me more money to come look at it again and telling me I should order parts that aren't even damaged to begin with!!?? I don't think it is fair they took my money and left me with a damaged dishwasher. If they could not fix this issue, you shouldn't take my money. An inspection fee is totally understandable! I emailed my concerns to them and they replied placing blame on me and I damaged a rusty bolt. It was rusty and corroded not manually damaged by me. This woman was very arrogant and talking down to me. Save your money and all your frustration and pick an honest person who does quality work. These people are crooks they come to your house don't fix anything and they take your money and when you call them to let them know, the issue hasn't been fixed. They want to charge more. read more

I put out a request to fix my microwave and these guys replied right away and Gena arrived within 2 hours of my posting. What fabulous service. He put on booties and was masked. He quickly went to work and fixed the broken part. I will always use these guys. Yeah I am a big fan. read more

Do not use this company. We hired them for oven repair to fix an issue where numbers on the key pad were not working. They failed to fix the issue, and the problem recurred within weeks. Upon asking them to rectify the issue, they made clear that they do not guarantee any of their work beyond 30 days! Because we were beyond the 30 day limit, they refused any accommodation beyond a $10 discount on a new service call to provide a new quote. All of this is particularly unbelievable because we did call them within the initial 30 days about the issue...we just did not ultimately have them out within 30 days when the keypad started working again temporarily. read more

Great service. Timely and affordable. Had my dryer stop working (wasn't getting hot). We talked it over and found the source of the issue. Really appreciated how quickly I was able to get someone out to help. The price was fair for the work completed. Would definitely recommend, and will reach out again should the need arise. read more

I urge you to avoid this business at all costs. They are dishonest. They'll charge you a "diagnostic fee" of $75 and then tell you they need to order additional parts, but to do that they need an additional $150 deposit. They'll only accept cash or zelle of course. Then they'll come back and tell you that actually they misdiagnosed the issue and can't fix the problem, but don't worry they'll keep your money. Look, I understand not all problems are fixable and sometimes the initial diagnosis isn't correct. But the right approach isn't to keep the money and run away. These guys would rather pocket $225 than work with their customer to find an amicable solution. Please, please, please avoid these guys at all costs. Most contractors I've found and used on Yelp have been great but quite frankly I've never felt as ripped off as I have with these guys. read more

As is my luck, the appliances at our home keep fizzling out. Last weekend, I tackled some overgrown weeds (complete with hundreds of burrs that I struggled to get off!) and threw my dirty clothes and boots into the washer. OF COURSE, it stopped working and wouldn't finish a cycle. I figured that either my heavy boots imbalanced the washer, or that the burrs clogged the pipe, since it wouldn't drain and was throwing two codes (one of which was F21/"unable to drain properly"). I tried switching cycles to a rinse/spin to no avail. Once, when I tried bypassing the cycle, water poured out of the washer. Obviously I needed help. I reached out to GLOBO Help and a few other companies to see if I could get an appointment. Luckily, they (all of them, really) responded super quickly. GLOBO Help was able to schedule me in a time frame that worked for me, which happened to be three evenings later a Friday between 5-7pm. Gena from GLOBO Help arrived on time, did a quick assessment, and determined that the washer pump needed to be replaced. He indicated that, if he didn't have a replacement part available in his truck, that it would take 2-3 days to have one ordered and he could come back and replace it. Luckily he had the part! In terms of price, he showed me the cost online ($150), but charged me a cheaper rate ($95 + tax I believe it was). In under an hour, my washer was fixed and my bill was only $264. I was so incredibly relieved to not only have paid a very fair price, but that Gena and GLOBO Help ensured that I didn't have to replace the whole washer!!! Highly recommended: I would be happy to use them again (and given the state of my other old appliances, I might be booking them again in the future). read more

Gena showed up on time and did great work. He kept me informed of progress and what he was discovering as he diagnosed the issues with my dishwasher. I felt like only the work that needed to be done was done, and I was treated very fairly. I would recommend Globo whole heartedly. read more

I've had Globo repair my washer and dryer. They've been able to repair both of them, saving me the hassle and expense of having to buy new appliances. They are responsive and their prices are fair. Will definitely call them again next time I need a repair. read more

I sourced this company on Yelp. They responded to my request for a weekend repair on my almost brand new LG wash machine. I was leaving for vacation on a Monday. He came out Sunday. Unfortunately it needed an order-only part. He fixed it the day I got back from vacation. Great service. Fair price. Both technicians came in wearing clean coveralls and shoe covers and masks. Professional and courteous. read more

I have never had to get a refrigerator repaired, but this one died completely out of nowhere. My first experience was with another company that had horrendous customer service and was a no-show, so I was dreading a Round 2. The customer service lady that I spoke with was an absolute delight. She was professional, gave a detailed response, called and texted to let me know when the tech was on his way (he came earlier than expected but I missed the call), and it was a very efficient process. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars was because the tech (Sam) wasn't the friendliest guy in the world. My dog kept barking at him at first, which I finally got tired of and took her outside for a walk. (Yeah, I realize that's a lot of trust to leave a random tech in your home, but the Yelp ratings made me cross my fingers and hope they're trustworthy.) He was honest and told me that repairs for my current fridge would cost hundreds of dollars more than getting a new one, and I respect that he did that instead of trying to convince me to spend more money for the same problem to happen a year from now. But then I had to ask him to write down what he said. He just handed me a bill to be paid for the examination, but I had no record of what went wrong. Once I asked him to do it, he wrote a short note to appease me and promptly left. My dog stopped barking as soon as he walked out the door. Either way it goes, I'd STILL re-hire this company for appliance repair if need be, whether my dog barks nonstop or not. I respect the honesty and the efficiency. read more

Good service for defrosting. Highly recommended for you guys. A+ very helpful. Fairly price! read more

I had John come out over the weekend for a leaky dishwasher. He was reliable, honest and efficient. The communication process was amazing. They kept in touch with me via text regarding the time of his arrival and there was a slight delay and they let me know and asked if it was OK if he still arrived. He was very personable and very experienced. I would not hesitate and recommending them or using them in the future. John did a great job. read more

I never used this company before. A gentleman by the name of Alex came to my house the next day. He diagnosed the problem I was having with my dryer gave me a fair quote repaired the dryer cleaned up after himself and was very professional. I highly recommend this company. I will definitely be referring them to friends and family, and by the way, my dryer works great! Thank you Alex! read more

I would really be careful contacting this company. They promised to fix my dishwasher but they showed up and they charged me $69. Also, they notated in the invoice not recommended to fix the dishwasher.. so I went to the appliance store myself, and I purchased the part and install it myself. Thanks to YouTube! I'll be filing a complaint with the department of financial regulation in Illinois, the attorney general, federal trade commission and the BBB. I hope this business stops to defraud the consumer. read more

Geno was very knowledgeable and timely with the repair to our fridge. He explained what was wrong and was able to make the repairs in a quick and prompt manner. I'd highly recommend this team for future appliance repairs! read more

The tech took my phone and submitted a 5 star review on Google on my behalf at the end of the service. I was happy with the service and how quick they came to my house and likely would have given a 5 star review, until the end of the service when the tech asked if he could see my phone to show me where I could review the company. When he gave me my phone back and I asked what he he had done, he said he submitted a 5 star review on my behalf. When I told him that I did not agree to that and it made me very uncomfortable, he told me he needed the 5 star review and basically ran out my front door. I went in and deleted the review and contacted the company about the dishonest behavior. They did reply that they'd talk to him about the behavior, which is why I went with two stars instead of one. read more

This was the first company that responded. Appointment set up through Yelp. Repair person was earlier. Repair done efficiently. Repair person very responsive. Price was within range expected! Good job! read more

I can not say enough about this place. Our refrigerator wasn't cooking off, it was in the 60's. We another company come out (scroll through my reviews to see it) That company sent someone out yesterday. He said he didn't have the part he needed and it would take 3 weeks, and he wanted almost $500 up front then $195 when he comes back. Anyway we used GLOBO Help a year ago for our dryer and I don't know why I didn't just call them first. The tech came out today and took off a panel where a fan was covered in ice. He defrosted it and within 2 hours we're back in range. Total cost $180 I'd recommend them to everyone!!! read more

Amazing work! They responded immediately to My request and were in site in a day. Parts were ordered immediately and I was notified as soon as they arrived and scheduled within a day for installation. Gena came to the house both times and was extremely professional and did a great job start to finish. He even cleaned the floor where he worked when completed. I will call them again in a heartbeat! read more

Tech came out to look at an old beverage cooler I had acquired that hadn't been used in years. He opened a panel, saw a fan that was struggling to rotate properly. He said the fan is shot and it would cost too much to fix. Spent all of five minutes and charged $69. After he left I got the fan working with no problem. Still not cooling...could be a refrigerant or compressor issue. He didn't even bother to find out. read more

Absolutely amazing! They came out and fixed our dishwasher on the day we first sent a message. They made it clear what was broken, and they did a quick repair. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Dan helped defrost my refrigerator, which couldn't cooling, now the refrigerator is back to normal. He was confident with what he did, and enjoyed his work. read more

I hired GLOBO to repair the Drum Belt and Idler Pulley on my Samsung dryer. The technician Gena did a fine job but he charged me over QUADRUPLE the retail price for the parts. He charged $105.00 vs $24.95 total on Amazon for genuine Samsung parts. I'd give 5 Stars if not for the obvious price gouging. read more

Excellent service! Glad to have found this business. Strong recommendation for oven repair!

I sent them a message about possible quotes and availability. We are trying to Martian down the issue for my fridge, and they have come out two times so far (same day request). read more

Giving 1 star because I can't give them zero. I knew the belt in the dryer was the issue and they assured me they would have a part in the car for a quick replacement. They did not, and had to order one. Next visit they completely disassembled the dryer and it was functional - but louder than it had ever been before and felt like it was going to tumble over. Not great, but whatever, we thought we could live with it. Three weeks later the dryer will not work at all - spins a few cycles and gets seemingly locked and won't budge. I tell GLOBO and they refuse to take any responsibility, or even guaranteeing to check out the drier 3 weeks after charging $415 to seemingly ruin it without charging again for another home visit. Anyway, if you're looking to give a business $415 to ruin an appliance look no further these are your guys! read more

Charged to fix an appliance - appliance didn't work as expected. Technician came back out the a few days later (disassembled and reassembled the dishwasher without replacing anything) and it worked just fine. Of course they charged a second service call fee. Then when they confirmed we could run it properly before paying the fee, they auto charged the credit card (with a 3.5% surcharge) without my authorization. I then paid via Zelle (and they refused to refund the card). Terrible way to run a business, the subcontractor they did use was helpful and nice - but the business is just greedy. read more

My dryer was not working and the washers needed maintenance. The technician was very diligent and helpful. He thoroughly explained the issue and the repair needed. He seemed honest and was hard working, stayed for four hours to work on two sets of dryers and washers. Cost for labor and parts seemed reasonable. read more

Excellent customer service! Communication, on time, just an overall good experience. Gena was very professional and friendly! Def recommend them for dryer repair. Will keep their contact info in my contacts for the future. read more

I needed my dishwasher fixed. They were super responsive and professional. My dw needed a pump change which they ordered and got it install in little to no time. Would definitely call again. They also have a week guarantee on their part. read more

While I did not use Globo this time, they were extremely responsive and helpful. I will certainly consider them next time the need should arise at our home. read more

Very professional and fast service. I will be recommending them to any and everyone I can.

Honestly fast and efficient service. My laundry unit was broken earlier last year and had another service come fix it for almost $300. I felt like if I called globo earlier; it would've been better priced. Technician came the next day and only charged $55 for diagnostic fee which was cheaper than most of the area. Tells me the truth of the cost and didn't push me to replace since he knows it won't be long term. Kept mask on, and wore boot covers. Amazing! Would call them again if I needed anything. He was really friendly as well. read more
