About Us

San Mateo Appliance Repair has been a San Mateo family business since 2006. The same people who answer the phone are the ones who show up at your door. No franchising, no call centers, no subcontracting.

Twenty years in San Mateo homes

Our technicians have worked in San Mateo County long enough to know the buildings, the appliance brands most commonly installed here, and the failure patterns that show up again and again. That local knowledge shortens every visit.

Every repair follows the same sequence: a real diagnosis using measurements and the appliance’s fault history, a flat price covering parts and labor, your approval, and then the work begins. We do not touch the appliance until you have agreed to the cost.

Three things worth knowing about us

We publish what we charge. Typical starting prices for common repairs are on our pricing page before you call. No other local company we know of does this — the industry standard is to reveal the number only once a technician is already standing in your kitchen.

We tell you when to replace instead of repair. If a repair costs more than half of a comparable new appliance and the unit has passed two-thirds of its expected life, we recommend buying new. We give up the job. You keep the money.

Built-in appliances are part of our core work. Panel-ready refrigerators, integrated dishwashers, double wall ovens, wine cabinets — we handle them carefully, not reluctantly.

Licensed, insured, warranted

Every technician holds a current California appliance repair license and has passed a background check. The license number appears on your paperwork. Every completed job carries a 30-day parts and labor warranty — twenty years of repairs in San Mateo County, done the right way.
