Wade arrived on time. He did what he set out to do, which was fixing my clothes dryer. He took great care to explain his assessment, and what the possible outcomes might be. Wah-lah! My dryer is actually drying clothes now. Moreover, I now understand what went wrong, and how to ensure the problem does not occur again. He was a calm, knowledgeable and patient. PS. I am not posting shots of my clothes dryer. I think you get the "picture":) read more

Wade was fantastic. On time. Honest. We talked over the well known issues with Samsung refrigerators and freezers and he presented us with options. We decided to try an old fashioned reboot and 36 hour defrost to see if the freezer will correct itself after being left open overnight. He helped improve the seal on the doors and freezer, explained how we could reduce the moisture in the fridge, and showed us some things we did not know about our unit. He was not rushed and gave me all the time I needed. I fully expected, based on reading reviews of other companies, to be told we needed a new compressor or something very detailed and costly. For a $75 visit we learned a lot about our unit, the refrigerator is already operating better, and we're hopeful the 36 hour reset will get us back on track. Won't hesitate to call Wade again if any of our appliances need help in the future. read more

Wade is great, so glad we found him several years ago. Brought the most recent project in at or below his extimate, as has always been the case. Does what he says he will do & when he says he will do it - completely dependable. Hard to find service and professionalism like Wade's these days. Knows what he is doing. Make him your go-to & you can take appliance repair concerns off your list for good. I did! read more

Been using Wade since 2010-ish? He's great. Really responsive and very fair with his pricing. He has seen and does it all from dishwashers to refrigerators to washing machines. Call him! read more

Wade came over and checked what was wrong with our washer the same day I made a request. Very cordial, great communication and reasonable. Definitely recommend read more

I appreciated Wade's communications via text to diagnose my refrigerator issue. He did come out to my home at the projected service time. He worked quickly and was helpful in explaining the suggested actions. He did a fix and the refrigerator ended up working fine for a few days. However, the fridge wound up with the same issues as the original problem. I appreciate Wade for letting us know that our fridge would need a particular type of service with a specialist. To take it a step further, it was great of Wade to make some recommendations on specialists who could look at my now larger fridge issue. Wade also did answer some questions on other potential appliance work we might need. Thank you, Wade. read more

Wow, I found Wade thanks to the other positive reviews on here and I would give him more than 5 stars if I could. My fridge started acting funny, the ice maker shut down and all of the items in the fridge/freezer came to room temperature. Being that the appliance itself isn't too old, I wasn't keen to go and purchase a new one. Wade to the rescue! He offered a window of time that he would come out for a consultation, thoroughly ran all of the codes and diagnosed it as needing a new control board. One week later he came and installed the new part and now we have cold food! He is polite, very communicative, work a mask, was punctual in both visit windows, and definitely knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him and will utilize his services again should the need arise! read more

I texted Wade about my issue with my range and he gave me an estimate that was very reasonable compared to the other repair guy that quoted me 2 hundred dollars more which why I contacted Wade. He was nice m, efficient and walked me through the rapair and had the part in his car all done in an hour and 40% less. Don't bother even trying anyone else just go to Wase first. I leaned my lesson and now have my GOTO guy for all my appliance repairs. read more

Wade has fixed a lot of different appliances for us over the years - dishwasher, refrigerators, washing machines, dryer, and ovens. On time, fair pricing, quick work. read more

I have to write this on behalf of my wife who needed a repair guy in Carlsbad. We run a little vacation rental and normally I would have handled this sort of thing but I was out of town. My wife has a rare condition where she is the same height standing up as she is sitting down and this can make it very hard for her to get around without assistance. When the dryer broke at our rental she needed someone to come out and fix it ASAP. She used Google and found Wade. His voicemail stated to leave a name & number and he would be in touch but maybe not for a while since he only looks at his phone once every few hours (he also said if you text him he will reply once but then you have to wait several hours for him to reply again...very odd). Eventually Wade did respond via text and she told him the problem with the dryer - it would not spin! Wade said he could come out the following day - a Friday - but only at 10am and then after that he was booked through the weekend. Well since we had renters in the property my wife said yes, please come by, but explained she wouldn't be there because she had a doctor appt at that time where she goes monthly to be weighed in a saltwater pool to make sure she isn't losing more bone density (my wife's condition is a bone condition and makes it impossible for her to float in normal water). Wade didn't respond until later that night. He told my wife he expected payment for the service call on the spot and then any additional repair charges could be covered after the work was complete. Seemed fair enough. My wife told Wade she couldn't be there but would have a neighbor swing by to pay him the $60 cash for the call and then he could call her to get the approval for any repairs. Wade told my wife, That's not how this works. Now my wife was confused: I'm just trying to make sure you get paid, she said. Please try to work with me a little. Eventually Wade responded with, OK. So the next day my wife went to her appointment at the pool and Wade arrived to fix the dryer. As planned, our neighbor Sheri came to meet Wade on the property. After making a quick assessment he decided the belt needed to be replaced and called my wife to get approval. She was floating in the pool and couldn't answer, so Sheri directed him to call me. Luckily, I answered and told Wade to go ahead and make the repairs. Sheri could pay him and we would reimburse her. Now - this next part I only heard later from Sheri: apparently the whole time I was on the phone with Wade he was rolling his eyes and sighing and making a blah blah blah hand gesture! All while I was simply trying to explain my wife's bone condition and make sure he got paid! In fact, the only thing Wade ever said to me on the phone was "uh huh, uh huh, uh huh." Finally he agreed to do the repair and got the dryer working. Sheri paid him and he left. Price was not unreasonable. Believe it or not, Several days later we had a problem with the dang washing machine! So I called Wade. And that's when Wade told me HE WASNT INTERESTED IN DOING ANY MORE WORK WITH US because he "didn't like how we did business." I was flabbergasted. He had been fully paid and paid well for work that took him about 30 minutes. I was so frustrated I didn't press the issue any further. But I reckon it's probably a blessing that we've parted ways with Wade. We found another repair guy in San Diego who drives a van with a big dent in the side. Instead of fixing the dent he just got a sticker beside it that says "Jackie Chan Was Here". Now that's clever. That's someone I want on my team. Adios Wade. read more

the appliance repair guy, Wade, provides timely and excellent work. We have been using him for 8 years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended. read more

Wade is AWESOME! Our fridge started beeping and the "call service" light turned on this morning. Wade was able to get us in same day and quickly helped us resolve the issue and then some! He went above and beyond and was nice! He also loved our dogs and gave them lots of pets which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend! He's the only appliance repairman we will use moving forward. So happy to have met him! read more

I highly recommend Wade. He returned my call almost immediately, came out the same day, diagnosed the problem, ordered the part before leaving my street and fixed my dryer today. A couple days (weekend) was all it took. I have been trying to work with another guy who would not return my calls or texts after taking the top off my dryer. Excuses were that he doesn't return calls well or he couldn't find the part for my unusual dryer. After a couple weeks, I gave up. I will keep his number to fix all my large appliances. read more

I called Wade, "The Appliance Repair Guy, on two occasions. My dryer needed a belt replaced and my washing machine solenoid needed replacing. He cleaned the dryer's internal vent, upon his recommendation , which hadn't been done in years. Boy was that necessary!!! I can't recommend him highly enough. Wade is knowledgeable, speedy, fairly priced, and personable. I like supporting small, local businesses versus impersonal corporate businesses. He's been in the business for years, serving North County. It's nice to know I have a good person to call in the event of an appliance emergency. read more

Had a great experience with Wade and would not hesitate to use his services again or recommend them to friends and family. He completed my oven repair the same afternoon that I reached out to him. His pricing was fair and he kept me updated on his timing by text which was very efficient. read more

I can't recommend Wade highly enough! He showed up within hours and kept me informed about everything. He's a wealth of information and EXTREMELY helpful and efficient. His prices are VERY fair and he's great to work with. I would recommend him to everyone! read more

Wade arrived promptly, diagnosed the oven problem quickly, and fixed it. His work is neat, careful, and effective. I'm thrilled and grateful. read more

Wade is great!!! He actually tries to diagnose/repair the appliance (unlike other technicians we've used). He shows up on time and works quickly. He's fixed our refrigerator twice (different problems). Highly recommend! read more

Wade just repaired my Bosch dishwasher. I am so happy with his workmanship, his friendly personality, how knowledgeable he is, and he cleans up after himself. His prices are also very fair. I would use him again at the next opportunity and highly recommend him. read more

When our gas cooktop died suddenly in the midst of the initial COVID pandemic shelter in place recommendations, we needed a reliable, knowledgable and trustworthy appliance repair person to evaluate the situation and recommended repair vs replacement. The Appliance Repair Guy was prompt, professional and thorough. He even called to let us know that he would need to delay his second appointment as he awaited the results of a COVID test due to potential prior exposure (I really appreciated that!). We would not hesitate to use the service again and highly recommend you give him a call if you have any appliance repair related needs. read more

This guy is a home run from start to finish. Excellent communication via texting. Quick remote assessment followed by a visit several hours later. Thought he found the problem, but not..pursued the the problem doggedly until all was repaired and happy. $85...a screaming deal for a guy with this kind of standards. Wade has our sincere thanks and admiration. read more

Had refrigerator w cooling issue. He directed me to a bad condenser. Its still under factory warranty he determined. Also let me know about larger issue w the condenser and class action lawsuits against LG. Great knowledge on his subject. read more

Wade was very responsive -he replied to my request within a short time. He was able to fix my refrigerator the same day, as he had the part on his truck. I was very impressed with his professionalism. Would definitely have him back for ANY appliance repair! read more

Wade came to our house the same day I reached out to him. He was prompt, courteous, super friendly and most importantly helped us resolve our washer and refrigerator issues in one visit.

Wade is such a nice guy, and very good at his work! He repaired by clothes washer a few years ago and I had him back today to work on the dishwasher. Very friendly, great work, and offered some great tips. I highly recommend Wade! read more

Strongly recommend Wade. I found him a few years back, and was in need of service on my aged washer again. I was impressed by him the first time that I asked if he had a refrig magnet so I'd always have his number available. Very responsive, reasonably priced, and great service! read more

Wade has a straight shooter and easy to work with. I called them directly and I had an appointment the next day. Fixed my stove and explained everything to my satisfaction. Will definitely call him again for any appliance repair needs read more

I called after reading all these great Yelp reviews - 100% 5-star reviews, with words like "honest" and rates are "reasonable" and fair. No question Wade was responsive, fixed my dryer professionally and charged what I assumed was a fair price. My review may not be the 5-star that he has gotten from everyone else, but Yelp's 3-star is listed as "A-OK"...I'm not in any way giving a negative review...just more neutral than all the raves, and here's why: My assumption of fair price was based on (1) all those glowing reviews and (2) not knowing any better. Wade told me that the solenoid coils needed for my dryer were the much more expensive type...he even quoted a price of "$60 my cost", so who am I to argue. The invoice shows $70 in parts, and $135 total - certainly seems like $65 is reasonable for his labor. Only problem is, I kept the old solenoid coil set, looked them up after the fact, and found them on partselect.com for $14.26 and on amazon.com for $9.70. I think that a 100% markup on parts is probably customary and fair...but 672%?? And that certainly begs the question "why did he tell be they cost him $60?" My review is more of a caveat than anything else. What seems "reasonable" may just be buyer's lack of knowledge and unquestioning trust. When you read all the reviews, you're put into that state of unquestioning trust. Use this one review to keep up your guard. read more

Wade came out to fix our refrigerator a last minute request and he did a great job! He was a really nice guy and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable appliance guy. read more

I texted Wade and sent him a video showing him the problem I was having with my oven. He simply texted me back with a suggestion for a quick fix. It worked! That's what I call a great customer experience! Thanks Wade. read more

We had a difficult-to-diagnose repair (control board failing, but only intermittently). These guys show up when they say they'll show up. They are friendly, clean, and get the work done. Our job took 3 visits to complete over the course of 4 weeks, so that was longer than we wanted. All in all, however, it was a difficult problem to figure out bc it would only fail intermittently. I can't fault the business too much for this, so it's still 5 stars. read more

We accidently left our refrigerator's door open for 18 hours. We own a GE Profile side by side. The freezer part was cold, but the refrigerator part was warm. We called GE and they told us to unplug the refrigerator for 30 seconds to reset the computer. That did not work. We found Wade on a link for our neighborhood. I called Wade at 6:00 pm on Thursday night. He called me about an hour later. He told me that he didn't need to come to my house, he would just tell me how to fix my refrigerator. Wade told me to defrost the refrigerator by unplugging it for 24 hours and leaving the doors open and leave towels around the bottom to clean up the water. We did exactly what Wade told us. 24 hours later, plugged it in, waited about 5 hours until the refrigerator was at its perfect temperature! Thank you Wade for being so kind with your knowledge! You will be the ONLY person we will call when we have an appliance fail! Thank you again!! read more

We called Wade for an oven repair (which had been on my honey-do list for longer than I care to admit...). I left him a detailed message, and heard back from him within an hour. After confirming my suspicions over the phone (failing igniter) and confirming that he had the replacement part on his truck, he was able to do the repair, same day, for a very reasonable price. He was very friendly when he arrived, got right to work and had our oven working properly within an hour. We were really pleased with his workmanship and budget-friendly pricing. He cleaned up after himself thoroughly, and took the time to explain the repairs to us and give us some maintenance recommendations for the stove top. We'd highly recommend Wade to our friends and family, he was very honest and took pride in the work he did for us. read more

My Kenmore washer stopped working. It stopped spinning and made a clanking sound instead. Of course it happened at time when I had a mountain of laundry to do. Found these guys through Craigslist. Spoke withe Wade the Owner. Told what happened he diagnosed it over the phone and told the price to fix it. I scheduled him to come by the next day. Sure enough it was the problem he quoted me on. Turns out this piece breaks on most washers sooned or later (coupling). Repaired it in 20 minutes for a very fair price. He seemed very honest so I asked him what he thought would break next. He told me the pump so I had him replace that as well. Saved myself the service charge so it was really reasonable. Wade did a great job for a very very fair price. I highly recommend them if you need to get an appliance fixed. read more

Wade is a top notch human being doing honest, reliable appliance repair. We have known Wade since we first bought our house 16years ago.

Just recently I called out another appliance repair service for fairly new Samsung washer and dryer Russian dude named Alex Problem was not solved Sometimes age has shown me better to cut your loses After reading these reviews I called Wade He was prompt and actually took the necessary time to diagnosis what the problem was I was impressed on the amount of time he took wanting to solve the actual problem and not just get in and out Wow A business owner who actually wants to add value to his clients - sadly that's rare these days Wade gave me the price and in order to do the job right needed to come back the next day Right on time again and problem solved He also recommended less expensive options and also told me some possible up and coming possible issues to watch for and ways to try to prevent them I decided to just do it right and so far so good Wade is my guy for as long as I own the home read more

Wade was such a pleasure to work with. I texted him this morning and he responded quickly and was able to fit me in his schedule today. Wade showed up on time and was polite and reasonable. I would definitely recommend him and I will refer him to my friends. I am so lucky that I found an honest and fair appliance guy! Thanks Wade!! read more

Over the last three years, Wade has provided quick, honest service for my stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. I highly recommend him!

For months, my washing machine has been limping along and not really working. I was concerned about looking for a repairman as the last one I called had a minimum of $100 service call + whatever the problem was. I called and left a message. Wade literally called me back within the hour and asked me what the problem was. It turned out that he was able to help me fix the problem easily over the phone and did not charge me! I am definitely going to send him a nice tip because this is old fashioned service that is almost unheard of. I will definitely call AYS Applicance if I ever need anything that actually needs to be fixed! Cherie read more
