Jim was great! I was having a leak issue with my fridge. He came out quickly, immediately knew the issue was a clogged drain and had it fixed in less than 45 minutes. Will definitely call him if I have issues with appliances in the future!

1st choice is top notch. Family owned and operated. There’s no one else I’d call to service my appliances. I’ve been in Nashville for over 20 years and used plenty of repair services. Once I found 1st Choice, I’ve never even considered using another appliance repair company. They are by far the best in the industry!
