Sam’s Appliances is a very reputable company that I highly recommend. Their communication is excellent. They are always punctual and get the job done. You can trust them and what they say is necessary to do which can be difficult with appliance repair companies. Vlad and Sam are two of the smartest best…

Technician came out the same day to diagnose a microwave repair, which was great. The tech was on time, knowledgable and had the necessary replacement part. There was a small snafu with the repair cost. The owner acknowledged the mistake and corrected it. The repair has held up.

I have used Sam a few times for a microwave repair and a dishwasher issue. I've been very pleased both times and happy to refer anyone to him and his company. He is efficient and made sure everything was clean upon completion.

They were honest enough to recommend that I save my money and try to get Samsung to fix the unit. Died a couple months after 1 year warranty. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't believe in customer service. Do not buy Samsung... And do not buy from Pacific Sales that told me to go away because, they were not responsible…
