Called to repair washing machine. Price to repair was more than half the cost of a new one. Sometimes you get bad news. Paid my service call fee. Everyone deserves pay for their time. Curtis recommended buying a commercial washed. Got removal of old one, hoses and delivery free for mentioning his name. Very happy with new washer. When the dryer goes I will go to a commercial one also. Over 20 years with Shaw's and still happy.

We have a fridge over 30 years old and was very happy with it till the icemaker went out. We called are regular repairmen and he does not do Hollister. We had seen the Shaw's Appliance repair truck and knew they had been in business in Hollister foever. We gave them a call and came right out and he confirmed it was the icemaker. Two days later it was all fixed...very happy with Curtis Shaw

Shaws appliance is very professional and courteous. Unfortunately, we paid $129 just for professionalism but no service. Curtis came to our home to check our stove and looked at the stove for 10 minutes. Granted he did check if he could find the parts, but claimed he could not as we have a very old stove. This was understandable. The frustrating part was being charged $129 for no real service and being told our stove doesn't work when the reason we were calling is because it doesn't work. Paying $129 to be told something we already knew is outrageous. When asking why the price was so high we got

The original owner was great. The new owner does not back up his work. We had dishwasher repair and there was a problem. When I called he did not return my call. I finally reached him and explained my problem and he said he was going out of business and would not be able to help me. However they are still opened??????

Kitchen Aid booked them for a warranty and repair. Guy shows up opend the mircowave door and closes it and says its the main board. Charges my wife $100 for coming out even tho kitchen aid already sent them a blank invoice for them to fill out and send back to them. Wife was home alone at the time and wasent looking for trouble so she paid him and asked him to leave. I contacted Kitchen Aid and they said we are not supposed to be billed for any services as they have sent over 3 blank invoices for them to fill out and send back. I called shaw and they refused to issue a refund and said the check

Within in the last several years Curtis has helped me out of some real jams. He is GREAT technical, very professional and friendly. Just last month he fixed my gas burner, recalibrated my ovens and resolved a microwave issue. He is the best. His rates are also spot on. TRUST WORTHY, RELIABLE & REASONABLE

My good old whirlpool dryer stopped drying and I panicked. I called Shaw's Appliance Repairs scheduled a repair. Spoke to Curtis was given an appointment for the following week. My technician Ethan was on time was able to repair my dryer within a short period of time. Great customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dryer repair. The total with service call fee was very reasonable. Sure beats the headache of replacing with new one. Thank you Shaw's Appliance Repair. No more laundromats for me.
