He gave a professional assessment, but I didn't have him repair it because my refrigerator's compressor is still under warranty.

My dryer recently stopped working on a Saturday afternoon, and with little hope I looked to yelp to see if there was any chance of an appliance repair company who was available. I struck gold when I found Hjalmar's awesome reviews with weekend availability. He immediately answered my call and patiently listened to my situation and promptly fit me in over the weekend to take a look. He was able to replace the broken part on the spot and had us back in service with a very reasonable cost that was lower than he initially quoted. After the repair he even took a look at another appliance(built in microwave) that we were having exhaust fan problems with and began the repair process on that. We are so thankful for this company, an honest service man like Hjalmar and would highly recommend him for your appliance repair needs. read more

Hjalmar fixed an expensive, but finicky wine refrigerator in a jiffy! Had the right tools and the right knowledge to get it done. Also a pleasant person to work with! read more

Hjalmar did a wonderful job for my dryer and washer fast service and I was very happy to have my appliances back to use them I recommend him best service He explained what was wrong with my appliances and did a great job Thank you so much I appreciate so much your service read more

Dryer repair. Hjalmar was great. Showed up early, diagnosed the issue (broken belt that makes the drum spin) gave me an estimate, and ordered the part. Came back 2 days later l, again showed up early, fixed it quickly, stuck to the estimate and cleaned out the dryer duct at no extra charge. Highly recommend. read more

Superior customer service. Very professional, courteous, personable. The first repair company did an incomplete diagnostic. If I would have called Golden Bay in the first place, I would have had the understanding of what needed to be done to repair and not contracted the job to a company that did the poor diagnostic testing. Golden Bay clearly explained the issue, repair, and steps that needed to be taken. The final price of Golden Bay was considerably lower than the other company. Highly recommend. read more

I hired Golden Bay to repair our dryer. Hjalmar was great throughout the entire process. Very helpful during my initial call, followed up promptly, arrived on time, gave me thorough explanations, and got the repair done successfully. Pricing was also fair and he took the time to answer questions I had about other issues we've been having with our washer and oven. Will definitely hire him again for any future appliance repairs. read more

The service was excellent and honest. They promptly responded to my request and troubleshooted the issue.

I called Golden Bay for advice about a washer error code. Extremely helpful at no charge. Highly recommend

Our Maytag dryer stopped heating suddenly so I went to yelp to look for a repair person. Reached out to a few companies but decided to go with Golden Bay based on reviews. Scheduling was quick and easy via their website, and Hjalmar arrived as scheduled. He talked me through his thought process about what was going on with the dryer, and once we agreed on the fix he got to work and was able to finish the repair in under 2 hours. The set up of the washer/dryer was a bit tricky but he handled it no problem, cleaned up the work area when done and made sure everything worked before leaving. Highly recommend Golden bay appliances for your repair needs, we will definitely use them again if anything comes up. Thanks Hjalmar! read more

Hjalmar is great! He's honest and does amazing work. He does a really good job with his research and finding out as much as he can about the source of the issue before coming out. He's taken care of both me and my clients' needs, and always responds quickly. Would highly recommend him to others as well! read more

Hjalmar came by to fix my broken dishwasher and check on an issue with my washing machine. He was able to fix the dishwasher and walk me through potential ways I could fix anything that came up in the future. He spent time talk me through what was happening. I'd use him again in a heart beat. read more

I had done a load of laundry and really thought my wedding band went down the washer in some pants. Hubby called Hjalmar to help us see if it could off been stuck in the washer, possibly drier. His daughter had suggested checking into the drier since the washer showed no sign of the ring getting stuck.. happy so say the ring somehow was stuck inside the drier and I couldn't help but cry of happiness since his daughter had suggested to also deeply looking into the drier they where both very nice, efficient and I got my ring back. Highly suggest them! Muchas Gracias read more

Knowledgeable and friendly people. Truly professional and I contact them for any type of appliance repairs. I highly recommend them.

Just spoke with Hjalmar about our dryer which is evidently broken and has started baking our clothing versus just drying them. It's a Kenmore dryer and has been an absolute work horse! It's about 30 years old and I sadly realize it's now time to say goodbye and let it rest in peace. When I explained the problem to Hjalmar he really listened and explained what fixing it would probably involve. Long story short, he recommended we either find a good used dryer or just purchase a new one. I LOVE Kenmore products and was so disappointed when Sears went out of business since that ended the era of Kenmore appliances. So even though I wasn't able to use Hjalmar's experience and skill to fix something for us, I just wanted to leave this review to thank him for his honesty and advice. I really appreciate not only his honesty but his integrity. Hard to find these days! Many thanks, Hjalmar! read more

Quick, communicative, and friendly service. Charged a very reasonable diagnostic fee. Accurately pin-pointed where the issue with our dishwasher was. Gave us the information we needed to decide a repair wasn't worth the cost due to the appliance's age and replacement value. Would definitely call them again for our next service need! read more

We ordered a stacked W/D from Costco, and the Costco delivery crew had absolutely no idea what they were doing. After they left, we called Golden Bay Appliances to come do it correctly! Hjalmar came out the next day and inspected their work to see what the issue was. He came back a few days later with the right parts to install everything safely. read more

They were very prompt with their response and made an appointment for the next day. My refrigerator's freezer was frosting over and the warranty lapsed last month. Hjalmar was here the next morning ready to work. He was very professional and friendly (he even made friends with the dog!). He showed me what the problem was and he had the proper replacement part in his truck. I found his rates reasonable and would not hesitate to use or recommend him again. Thank you, Hjalmar! read more

Golden Bay rescued a unit that would otherwise have been replaced. It's back at 100%!

I had an issue with my Bosch refrigerator-freezer, and called up a few locations for diagnostics & repair availability. Golden Bay Appliances was one of the first calls, and convinced me quickly, as Hjalmar was super helpful already over phone: he provided some ideas on how to troubleshoot the issue myself, and also had availability to stop by for a diagnostics visit, if the "home remedies" don't resolve the issue. All in all the diagnostics visit was prompt, thorough, and Hjalmar was able to make the repair visit himself as soon as the part arrived. I will certainly keel Golden Bay Appliances in mind for any future need and would highly recommend Hjalmar and his team to others. read more

Incredible level of service and communication. Our dryer was making some loud noises and Hjalmar showed me exactly what was wrong, how it happened, and how to make sure the dryer lasts for as long as possible. Will definitely reach out if we ever have issues with our appliances! read more

The person that came was friendly and open to discussions regarding various solutions. His first solution didn't seem to solve the problem so he came back a second time and didn't charge me for that which I appreciated. read more

Golden Bay did a terrific job. - They coordinated their visit with our tenant. - Inspected the unit. - Diagnosed the problem. - Gave us an estimate for the repairs, and - Fixed the repairs the same day We will use again. read more

This was a great service. They knew what the issues were, made time to get me in the schedule quickly. Communication was awesome and the issues were fixed quickly and efficiently. Thanks!!!! read more

Hjalmar did a good job fixing my washer and was able to figure out right away what the problem is by just asking questions.

I've used Hjalmar's business three times now, and he has been super helpful at finding solutions to our problems. First, our dishwasher had stopped draining at the end of the cycle, and it turned out that the motherboard was fried. He thought that was unusual and recommended that we should call an electrician for the outlet that the dishwasher was connected to. We did based on his recommendation, and it turned out that the outlet was faulty and could have started a house fire easily. He saved our house from potentially burning down. Thank you! We've called him back for our faulty ice maker in our fridge, and our washing machine that also stopped draining. He has fixed all of our appliances within days at reasonable prices. Thank you so much! We will call again, but hopefully not for a while. read more

My Samsung ice maker was repaired as expected. But the additional stars are for Hjalmar's expertise with quickly diagnosing the issue and teaching the cause of the issue. Excellent overall experience with communication and timeliness of repair from diagnosis to fix! read more

Recently had Hjalmar come out and help quote for a Samsung french door refrigerator repair where he came out the same day, patiently diagnosed my problem for free, quoted me the exact cost the repair would cost and helped order the necessary parts the same day. Had the cost of the parts been cheaper from Samsung I prob would have looked at doing more repairs but made the decision to just fix the main issue I was having with my refrigerator door. I would say the labor costs quoted were fair and reasonable and would recommend his services to others. read more

Hjalmar was very knowledgeable about wine coolers and provided honest assessment of what were the possible causes of my cooling issue. I really appreciated that the first main fix suggested might only be a short term fix due to him knowing how the unit was constructed and that there may be corrosion in the cooling tubes which were not cost effective to service. Hence decide to just scrap the unit and put anticipated repair cost towards new unit. BTW, his $50 initial diagnosis fee is one of the most reasonable I saw on Yelp! Highly recommend. read more

Hjalmar was really professional and gave us an honest assessment about our fridge, which was that he could replace the broken part, but it would cost almost the same price as a new fridge. He gave us some advice on what to look for with a new fridge when we asked for tips. It was also easy to schedule time for a quote using the online portal. read more

Hjalmar from Golden Bay Tech is a thorough professional and gentleman. He had come run diagnostics for our dishwasher issue. He was very patient, did a thorough diagnosis and initial repair. However, since additional issues were discovered, we needed extra parts and the cost was going up much higher than the original cost of the dishwasher. He visited us multiple times during this entire process and was very accommodative. He refunded us the payment minus the inspection fee since the original issue was not addressed and took back the replacement part. They also support multiple methods of payment which is very convenient. He also did a write up report for home warranty claims. I highly recommend Golden Bay Appliances and look forward to working with them for future needs. read more

I've used them several times for my dryer. The 1st time was to fix my 10+ year old dryer. However, it stopped working twice since then for various reasons (belt, motor). They never charged me for the 2nd or 3rd visit because of their warranty, even though he probably could have and cited a different reason for the issue unrelated to his 1st visit. Hands down, Hjalmar's company is one of the best service companies I've ever used just because of his superb customer-centric service he provides. read more

On time and fast, professional service. Dishwasher was repaired perfectly. We were able to get our problem addressed the same day

I had an old Maytag Neptune washer that gave up the ghost. I was hoping it was repairable. The technician was prompt, arriving on time for the appointment. He performed a thorough inspection of the machine, and diagnosed the problem. I chose to not have him repair the machine as the manufacturer no longer made replacement parts. The cost of the appointment was less than I was expecting, but it was as quoted to me when I made the appointment. I would definitely use this business again. read more

First of all professionalism. That is rare and the respect I was shown as a woman in appliance distress was beyond what I expected. Walked me through the issue and price, let me decide how to move forward. Hjalmar was absolutely wonderful. It very old skool to see his professional manner. I HIGHLY recommend this service. They are really the Real Deal pros you pray show up and take care of the problems with care and fair cost, which included the diagnosis of the issue. I am so happy I contacted them. Thank you Hjalmar for being a gentleman and excellent at your craft. To the general public do not hesitate to contact Golden Boy Tech. And ladies, you will never be made to feel like a helpless person. They just respect and that is rare in the mechanical game. Excellent service. read more

Golden Bay Appliances - My drier needed help! It stopped working on me but it was fixed and now it's running as good as new! - Appliances & Repair Near Me

Recommend Great service On time Friendly Honest They were on time, finished in a timely manner and is pleasant to talk with read more

Hjalmar responded to my request quote with a link to book an appointment based on their schedule and I found it very convenient compared to the other options. It was even more convenient that the time I can book was within two hours from the time I was even looking. This is important because originally the water dispenser on my refrigerator was not working after I replace the filter. Furthermore, it appeared to have a slow dripping week from where the filter was at. Hjalmar called me after I booked the time and walked me through a quick way to troubleshoot without him having to come do a diagnostic which would've been timely for him and costly for me. Ultimately, the water line between the filter and the dispenser had frozen, and all I needed to do was empty the freezer and turn off the fridge for 2-3 hours. This worked like a charm and I appreciate the simple advice. Good karma, and great business! Would use them again if ever needed. read more

Arrived as scheduled - needed a repair on both a dishwasher and refrigerator - he got both working again quickly and affordably. The tech was great to deal with and I will use them again! read more
