Every day realities of appliance repair and service

In a Perfect World ...

In a perfect world the appliance repair man would show up minutes after the call, wearing clean pressed shirt and ironed pants, be almost invisible, fix the problem on the spot in minutes, have all parts in his vehicle and vanish without charging anything. But that is in a perfect world... The reality just is not so.

In the Real World The Appliance Repair Nightmare Begins

We rely on our appliances to do a lot of dirty (laundry, dish washing etc) and essential (heating/cooling etc) work, but we take them for granted, appliance repair is something we would all like to avoid whenever possible. It seems like appliances typically break down shortly after their warranty expires. Of course this never happens at a convenient time, how could it? Appliances break down when you are using them. It is bad enough that things are not going as planned, now you have to find an appliance repair service and schedule an appointment. If you are very lucky, you will be given a window of several hours and the appliance repair man will show up on time.

Why so Much?

When the appliance repairman arrives and fixes it in only 10 minutes, you breathe a sigh of relief until you see the bill for $150.00! Why so much for so little? Worse yet, you might need an expensive part replaced which will cost you more money.The part might be inexpensive, but you will pay a mark-up plus labor for installation another $200.00! Just to kick you while you are down, the appliance repair man checks his truck to discover that he does not have the necessary part in stock. Your appliance has been dismantled with parts scattered around, and now you will have to wait two weeks for them to special order this part that is not available locally. Why is appliance repair service so much? Why is it that they never have the parts you need in stock? There has to be a better way!
