Finding Quality Appliance Repair Services

6/10/2015

Restaurant service work involves using all kinds of heavy-duty equipment. From ranges and vent hoods to multiple ovens and dishwashers, there are many appliances hard at work alongside your employees every day. Just like having an employee out for the day, a broken-down appliance can be a huge inconvenience to the service you provide your customers. Before any of your equipment goes haywire on you, you need to decide who you will turn to for your appliance repair services. You will want to check the qualifications of the service, research reviews, and finally choose a reputable company.

Check Qualifications

Whoever you hire to service your equipment needs to be properly trained and qualified. A good business will list their qualifications, including their training, experience and whether or not they are insured. If you’re having trouble deciphering what qualifications a business has, just ask. Most businesses will be happy to explain to you how they train their employees and what sort of insurance they use. Properly servicing or repairing walk-in freezers and other commercial restaurant equipment requires technical training, so make sure your repair technician has that training.

Research Reviews

The Internet is remarkable because it puts infinite information at the fingertips of a single person. Research the companies you are considering for repair services and find out what current and past customers are saying about them. All companies are likely to have some good and some bad reviews, so remember to also take into account the actual number of reviews posted to get an idea of how good a company is.

Choose a Reputable Company

Overall, you want to choose a company that is reputable and trustworthy, like CASCO. In some cases, this may mean just going with your gut instinct. If you have narrowed down your choices to a few acceptable options, choose the one your gut tells you to choose. If something feels off, pay attention. For more information on quality appliance repair services, follow us on Facebook or on Google+ and make sure to contact CASCO for all your commercial appliance services needs.

Thanks for the post. I like what you said about checking their qualifications. I like it is important to ask for a list is you can't find one listed. I know I want to know that they are qualified to work on my appliances and that they will do a good job. I'm sure if they are not qualified the warranty may be voided.

I like your tip on researching reviews when looking for an appliance repairman. I would imagine that checking reviews would be a good way to find a qualified repairman. My wife and I need someone to repair our refrigerator so maybe we should check someone's references before we hire them.

I think making sure they're legit is the best thing you should do. Having someone who isn't qualified and insured, would be bad news. I liked that this brought up searching through reviews too. It's the best way to find who you're looking for, and get the quality work you need.

Great information. One other source is your community, asking local people can also give you a way to narrow down your choice.

Checking that your service or maintenance company is properly trained and qualified sounds like a really good step to take for any business hiring someone to repair an appliance. I would imagine that especially for restaurants and the food service industry this would be important in order to make sure that all repairs are performed within the food code specifications. If possible I would imagine it would be good to use a repair service that you have been referred to by a friend or associate, to ensure they have experience working with business like yours.

Luke, I agree that finding a properly trained and qualified repair company is a good first step to take. However, I also think it's important to make sure you get along with your repair company and can easily speak with them. This can help you get better service and let your technician know what worries they need to address in the repair.

I agree that the internet really is such a good place to find reviews about appliance repair companies! You'd be surprised just how much you can find out about a service just from information about them on the internet. We are currently using the web to find a good serviceman in our area, and it has been so helpful to look on social media for companies in our area. We'd recommend trying that!

I like what you said about narrowing down the field of companies and then choosing the one that your gut tells you to choose. I've heard that there are some companies that will do a "price match" of sorts so that you choose them. I'll have to keep these great tips in mind as I go about choosing a repair company for my fridge.

This article has some good advice for me to consider. I wouldn't want anyone repairing my refrigerator or washer/dryer unless they were qualified and insured. Properly licensed professionals would be the only option that would make sense for me to consult with. I'm not a professional appliance repairman, so why would I contact someone to fix my dishwasher who doesn't have proper training and licensing?

My brother recently purchased an older home. It came with a washer, but it doesn't seem to be working very well. He is currently looking for an appliance repair service that can help. I didn't realize how important it is to choose a company that has staff that is properly trained and qualified and they have their qualifications plainly stated on their website. I'll be sure to share this information with my brother.

I totally agree with you in that the internet is very helpful when looking for reviews about an appliance service company in your area. Our dryer machine is not working properly and some of our clothes still come out wet no matter how long it stays in there, so we want to find a good company to take a look at it. Personally, I would want to make sure I find a company that has experience working with machines like mine and that can provide proper warranties of their work.

You make an excellent point about reading the reviews before sending our appliances to have repaired or maintained as the reviews from past clients will be able to give us an idea of the technician's professionalism and quality of service. I also agree that it is important to ensure that the technicians are qualified to conduct any appliance repair or maintenance work, just as I believe it is important for them to be well-versed in appliance parts.
