Ballpark what a repair should cost before you call anyone — service call, parts and labor broken out separately, so you can tell a fair quote from a padded one.
Get a real number instead of a range — our $99 diagnostic includes a firm written estimate before any work begins.
Call (248) 515-2652 Book a diagnosticThese are planning ranges built from national appliance repair cost guides, adjusted for brand tier, appliance age and the metro Detroit market. They are not a quote and not a promise. The actual number depends on the specific part, the specific model and what we find once the panel comes off — which is exactly why the diagnostic exists.
A legitimate shop will name the part. You can look up what it retails for in about thirty seconds. A reasonable markup is normal — an unexplainable one isn't.
Aftermarket control boards and pumps are cheaper and fail sooner. There are places aftermarket is fine and places it isn't. You should at least be told which you're getting.
Policies vary and neither answer is wrong — but you should know before the truck shows up. Ours is a flat $99 for the diagnosis and the written estimate.
If a shop won't stand behind a repair for at least 90 days on labor, that tells you something about how confident they are in the diagnosis.
The most useful question on the list, and the one that separates a technician from a parts-changer. A good answer includes what the likely next failure is and roughly what it would cost.
$99 covers the visit, the diagnosis and a written estimate. Nothing gets repaired until you approve it.
