I called in the evening and Leo and Carlos came the next morning at the appointment time. They diagnosed the problem with our refrigerator, gave us a reasonable price and fixed the problem right away. They are professional, courteous, thorough in their work and keep a clean work area. We will call on them in the future if needed and will recommend them to our neighbors. read more

Leo and Carlos are excellent! They arrived on time, made a diagnosis and repaired our oven and ordered parts for the ice maker!

They were responsive, quick, honest, and did our washing machine repair the same day which was so appreciated. Highly recommend.

So I got a lemon for an Electrolux washer. I bought it two years ago and it broke within two months. Luckily I brought insurance on it. However, I dealt with over 10 repair appointments. The repair folks scuffed my walls, broke my drain pan, complained that it was in closet, refused to fix it because it was stacking and there was a dryer on top. That time it was the computer panel. I cannot work from home so I was at my wits end with using vacation time. Fast forward two years owning it and it broke again. Again I tried another company and they arrived after I told them it was a two person job with one person and couldn't fix it. The folks from optimal appliance repair were absolutely amazing. They arrived actually early, two super professional repairmen. Within 30 minutes my washing machine valve was fixed perfectly. I noticed noises before the repair and afterwards no more noise. No damage to the laundry closet and amazing cleanup. I was lucky that they pretty much fixing my washer like a day after contacting them. It's been working perfectly for a month. I would highly recommend! read more

I've used Optimal Appliance Repair several times to fix my Bosch appliances (dryer and oven) and they're great! They always come out right away, fix the issue in no time flat, answer any questions, and do a fantastic job. In fact, I've referred them to friends who all had a similar experience. They have very reasonable rates, are professional, fast, and extremely nice. I highly recommend them! Brandon Washington, DC read more

We had an issue with our dryer and Leo came out quickly, diagnosed the problem, talked through the options with us, and repaired the issue in short order. We really appreciated his help and would highly recommend him! read more

Leo and Carlos did a great job fixing my dishwasher! They were super punctual which is such a plus. Great service.

Second time I have had Leo and Carlos repair an appliance, this time my icebreaker. Leo diagnosed on the phone, asked for pictures of the model number, and we set up an appointment two days later. He and Carlos arrived exactly on time, with the replacement unit. 20 minutes later, icebreaker working. Cost very reasonable, and the opportunity to visit with Leo and Carlos an added benefit. Good for them building a business on their own. Urge everyone to support small businesses. No hesitation in recommending Optimal, you get straight talk, prompt and skilled service and value for the work they do. John G read more

Leo and Carlos were efficient and courteous in repairing my Samsung dryer. He communicated promptly and clearly, arriving on time and answering my questions clearly. The price quoted was accurate and fair. Leo also demonstrated care for my washer -- returning to ease his mind that nothing had been inadvertently dislodged or otherwise. read more

Called them yesterday afternoon about my Samsung dryer not working, Samsung was charging 180 to just show up & they wouldn't deal with my stacked dryer at all. OAR said they could handle it the next day from 11-1 and sure enough they got here a bit after 11, quickly fixed it, and were gone by 1215! Was under $400 and definitely less than Samsung would have charged. Also comes w/ a 3 month warranty if it breaks anytime soon. They also cleaned out my entire dryer, cleaned out the lint hose, and vacuumed up the entire area when they finished. 10/10 experience will use again. read more

Fast service, knew exactly what was wrong with our fridge which was freezing in parts of it. Mo who helped us was fast, professional and extremely helpful. read more

I called Leo about a refrigerator repair at 10 am - lightning strike fried something. He had a suspicion as to what the problem was, so asked me for the model number, telling me where to find it. He called back saying he'd be at the house at 3 pm. They arrived precisely at 3 pm with the right part, and fixed the refrigerator in 20 mins for a reasonable price. In terms of communication, skill, effectiveness, and reliability, you can't ask for more than Optimal. Oh - and he texted me later to make sure all was well with the appliance. Excellent service, highest recommendation. read more

The team at Optimal Appliance Repair were able to come over on the same day that I called and fix my broken clothes dryer. They quickly assessed the problem, provided a fair quote, and got my appliance back up and running within 90 minutes. read more

Samsung dryer stopped producing heat, filter and ducts were clear and all other functionality worked. Called up Leo at Optimal Appliance repair and they came out the next day. They diagnosed and fixed everything in a morning. Now I have a working dryer, at a reasonable repair price! read more

Did a great job in fixing our leaking washing machine. Very timely and fast service. The mechanic was knowledgeable and professional.

Quick and clean same-day oven repair! Both Leo and Carlos were very responsive and helpful.

When your appliances breakdown, it IS kinda of an emergency when it it something you use daily. Our Bosch dishwasher started displaying an error code. When I looked up what that error code was, I immediately thought: "Oh hell, this is NOT good." It wasn't... I called Optimal and Leo the owner got RIGHT back to me. Told him what the error code was, told him model number and about an hour later he was at my door with the new heat/pump element. No muss no fuss. But THAT is not all. Usually appliance repair folks are very...let's just say.....they don't really 'communicate' very well with the customer....NOT THESE FOLKS. Leo was very explanatory on the part, why it goes awry (every 6-8 years), what he was going to do, etc etc. He also REFUSED to take payment until job was done and I was completely satisfied. His colleague (forgot his name) had also 30 years in the business and was very friendly.....Leo also talked about other appliances and how some are easier to get parts for than others. He also gave me a 3 month warranty on the work...if ANYTHING goes wrong he would fix it for free. SO I have saved his phone number in my phone, because I WILL be using him again and referring him all over. 5 stars is NOT even enough to rate this business...10 stars!!! read more

Optimal Appliance Repair - Bosch - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This review is long overdue. I've used Leo for several years at two different properties. Each time, he has been nothing but exceptional. He's been honest when an appliance just needed to be replaced and not be repaired. He's always transparent with the cost of parts and no markup. His rates for labor are incredibly fair. Most importantly, he cares. If you need an appliance repaired and you want someone who provides exceptional service and can be trusted, and get the job done fast and at a fair price, call Optimal right away! read more

Leo answered immediately and we quickly scheduled time for he and his associate to come to fix our oven. They called 30 minutes before arriving and were fast and just great all around. I hope we have no other appliances in need to repair, but if we do, will absolutely call Leo / Optimal Appliance Repair again. read more

I highly recommend that you SHOP this company before proceeding. My quote was $200 more than the company I went with - I only needed labor. I hired Khalid (owner) from General Appliances Repair. Repair was done in 15 minutes. I BOUGHT THE PART off the Internet. Owner of Optimal Appliance Repair initially wanted $350. I paid $150 to Khalid from General Appliance Repair! Do your own due diligence. Shop your project!!! Khalid is super nice and very knowledgeable, fast, and technical. read more

Leo and Optimal were fantastic. They were able to come quickly (even earlier than originally estimated) and fixed our dryer in minutes for a reasonable price. 6 stars! read more

Leo at Optimal Appliance Repair finished off a hellish 4 months with a great final result. We had a nightmare of a time getting our new dryer bought, delivered, and installed, including almost 2 months to get it installed. Multiple failed attempts at install with other vendors later, Leo came through. I called Leo yesterday after another vendor (Thompson Appliance Repair) ghosted us, and squeezed me in at the end of his day today in a 4-6pm two-hour window. He came to the house and initially was concerned about getting the install done due to limited space, but he went above and beyond to try to find a solution. Leo and his helper are very experienced and well versed in appliances and their install, and came up with a creative solution to complete the install. He ended up using his own bracket to get the job done right. On top of it all, the cost was very reasonable for the difficult work and creativity it requires. Leo has a customer for life. Thank you!! read more

Optimal Appliance Repair - Washer + new dryer install completed in our extremely tight space. - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My oven wouldn't heat even though the cooktop and broiler were working fine. I submitted for a quote on Optimal Appliance Repair's website and received a call back to schedule a visit for the next afternoon. They called ahead before arrival with an ETA, looked at the problem, brought the correct replacement part, installed it and turned on the oven for me to see that the issue was resolved, which they did in about 30 minutes flat. I'm very happy, and I know I saved money compared to going with my appliance brand for servicing. I'll definitely keep them in mind for the future. read more

Leo and his team did a fantastic job. He was able to come help with our broken freezer the same day I called, when another place I called first couldn't fit me in for 3+ weeks. He quickly diagnosed the issue and was very fair in helping me resolve it. read more

Optimal Appliance Repair is my new #1 on my repair call sheet. I have to admit, Leo and Carlos were not the first people I called when my refrigerator temperature dropped to below freezing-and continued to sink (it got to 18). They should have been. I called 5 other companies. One of them said they only serviced Virginia. The others could not be bothered to call back (one of them I called three separate times). When I called Optimal Repair, Leo himself picked up the first time. His first question to me was 'Can you provide me with the brand and model number.' That is exactly the type of question I wanted to hear. This was Tuesday afternoon, and he said he could swing by Thursday morning. I got a call Wednesday morning, with Leo saying that he had a job near me and could come by a day early if I was home. I was beyond delighted to have the option of him arriving a day early and immediately said 'yes.' Leo and Carlos showed up at the time they said they would. Based on my description of what was going on, Leo had brought with him the part that he thought was probably not working. And he was right. Leo then showed me on Amazon what the part costs, and explained with labor what the final price would be. I thought the price was very fair, and liked knowing that I was paying close to what the part costs. But here is where they really excelled. I told them that the fridge water dispenser was no longer working. This turned out to be a huge problem. Everything along the water line had frozen solid, to the point the water filter itself had cracked. They spent about an hour carefully heating up water to pour over the coils in the back of the fridge, and then replacing the connections on the filter which became brittle and broke under the cold. All the while cleaning up with a small HVAC they brought with them. They took their time and were careful. This turned out to be more problematic than the initial issue that brought them to my home. Leo then asked if I wanted to get a new filter through him, and left me with their spare so I could have water until he came back with the new filter. I also asked if he could get for me a new shelf (my shelf had cracked and my attempt at using plastic cement to hold it together was about to fail). He said no problem, and again, showed me what each item would cost before I signed off. My refrigerator is working once more. Leo and Carlos were everything I could have hoped for. Responsive, patient, arrived a day early, and did not flinch when the repair turned out to be more than we all thought. And quoted me a fair price, showing me what the actual costs of the parts were. They do every kitchen appliance plus washers and dryers. From here on out, I know who I am calling first if I have future appliance issues. And you should too after reading this review. read more

Optimal Appliance Repair - Carlos, Leo and myself all smiles after the repairs were done. I am very grateful. - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My Bosch dryer stopped spinning. I did a quick search online for professionals who repairs dryers. I called Leo at 202-451-8418. He responded within less than an hour. He came the same day to diagnose the issue. He told me that the belt was broken. He ordered a new belt and returned within two days and fixed it. Leo and his work colleague are experienced. His work colleagues appear to be very experienced and knows what he is doing. They were both professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They bring good energy into your home- trustworthy. The cost of his repair was $400.00, I highly recommend him and would use him again. I will use his services to replace my icemaker very soon. read more

Leo was phenomenal! Instead of providing me with a cost to repair my washing machine he gave me great advice on what I should look for in a replacement. I will definitely give Optimal a call again if I have any issues. read more

Leo and his partner showed up to repair our Bosch dishwasher within 2 hours of my contacting them. It needed a new main switch, which involved dismantling the front panel, pulling the appliance out from the wall, and then disconnecting the switch from the harness. Very complicated - I definitely could NOT do this myself! They worked nonstop for an hour and also leveled the appliance, as it was mounted slightly off horizontal. They made sure to confirm the repair before they left, and charged a very modest fee for this job. Optimal is a local small business with two employees who work hard to please their customers. HIGHEST RATING. read more

Our refrigerator wasn't making any ice for while, we had a bad experience with a different technician who came over charged us and never came back to fix the refrigerator. I found Optimal on Yelp, I called it and Leo came over on the same day. He was very pontual, gave us the diagnosis on the refrigerator super quickly, three days later he came back with the parts, I am so happy that we found this company, they are the best. He didn't charge us for the first visit, he also called us few days later after he repaired our refrigerator to check if everything was still working well. I high recommend Leo's service. read more

don't use. bait and switch Stackable was leaking. Came out to repair the leak. tried to use the machine. The leak problem was resolved but suddenly the machine no longer went through the rinse cycle. Coincidence? Called for them to look at it. After $300, they wanted another $175 for the part and $150 for labor. This is for a 7 year old machine. So much for supporting a small business. Don't use them. read more

Update: The owner reached out to provide clarification on the comment regarding my check. His explanation was reasonable. Concern was the check was cut off at the top and the bank might not honor it. He apologized for the miscommunication. My washer machine lid lock was broken. I called Optimal Appliance Repair based on Yelp reviews. The gentleman that answered the phone was nice and gave me a rough estimate but w the machine serial will give an exact price. The labor cost was high compared to the price of the part. I called Saturday and was scheduled for Monday to get the part installed. They were prompt to my house. No introductions jst mumbled Hi. Everything was completed in a hour. Pro: 3 yr warranty on part, quick service Con - Rudeness;The guy collecting payment says"I hope this check clears" WTH Mind you, he stated Zelle or check was fine. Definitely inappropriate statement. read more

Very fast and efficient service. Able to resolve issues in same visit. Finished in timely manner.

No one likes when one of their appliances breaks down or stops working. Even worse, no one likes having to find a trustworthy repair person. Leonardo and the folks at Optimal Appliance were fabulous: responsive, polite, honest, and reasonable. The repair went fast, and they left our home clean and exactly as it was when they arrived. I highly recommend Optimal for appliance repairs. read more

I had a wonderful - and unique - experience with Optimal Appliance Repair today and would like to share it with everyone in the DMV. I made an appointment for a technician to look at my new Samsung microwave that works fine but the turntable would not turn and i wanted that fixed. Owner Leo and his assistant came out on time took a quick look, told me I needed a new motor but that a repair wasn't recommended because it would cost more to repair than to replace - and he recommended another vendor that handles appliance sales. He then left and said there would be NO charge! Wonderful costomer service and here is where I will goo next time I or any of my neighbors need an appliance repair! Thank you, Leo! read more

Quick and friendly service. I have an old Kenmore dryer in which the heat did not work. Leo and another tech came out and fixed it but the part blew again and they said I needed to get the dryer vent cleaned. I got my vent cleaned and the came out and fixed the part again, not charging me for the repeated trips out and my dryer has been working better than before! I did my own vent cleaning but with the right tools it's not that hard. They gave me good advice and were quick to fix my problem at a reasonable price. read more

I called Leo about fixing the broken latch on my front load washing machine. He quoted me a good price and even offered to fix the problem that afternoon.
