Gary's Appliance Repairs

I called & made an appointment with this guys for the next morning. they arrived within the scheduled time frame (and even called to reassure me that they were on the way). I really appreciated that they found a creative way to fix my refrigerator door gasket, sparing me the cost of replacing it!

My dishes weren't coming clean. Found this vendor on home stars and gave him a call. He came a couple of hours later, fixed my dishwasher and charged a fair price. Was prepared and professional.

I contacted Mr. Slater after normal working hours. He was busy on another job, but promised to check my problem later. His work finished quite late but he did keep his promise. He understood the subject thoroughly. Discovered the fault and repaired it and everything was done as if it was the first job, fresh in the morning. A professional in every way.

Gary said what he needed to say, did what he needed to do. Got the job done, charged a fair price and got out, what more could I ask for?

Gary's mode of repair was that of friendly service and quick.

He brought his tools with him into the class and quickly got the job done.

He was competent, fast and friendly.

I am appreciative the quality in service.

My refrigerator had been leaking water every once in a while for the past several months. One morning I realized it had blown a fuse overnight, and then it stopped cooling and emitting a chemical odor.

I called Gary based on the reviews on Home Stars, and his service was excellent. He answered the phone right away, and was at my place within a few hours. My low rating is based purely on the price for the work (or rather, lack of work) done. He quoted me about $100-150 for the labour, plus parts, when we spoke on the phone, and that didn't seem too outrageous for a city repairman.

Unfortunately, when he got to my place, he looked at my fridge for a few minutes (less than 5), and then told me I had to replace it - that there was no freon, so it was not cooling. I know nothing about appliance repairs, so I don't know if that is something fixable or not, but to charge me $86 + taxes to tell me that, the service is overpriced. I should have gone with the local company here who had a service charge of $60.

After Gary left, I put two and two together myself, and figured the fridge was leaking the freon, so I disconnected the power (as the smell was extremely pungent). Gary had never encountered the smell before (and didn't seem sure if it was freon or not), which seemed strange to me for a repairman with over 30 years experience.

Instead of getting a second opinion, I decided to cut my losses (food and service cost) and buy a new fridge. A word of advice to those shopping around: Ask what the cost will be if the repairman is unable to fix your appliance. Bad news is always easier to take when expectations have been properly set.

My wife was complaining that our dishwasher of only 3 years wasn't properly cleaning. I checked on homestars to find someone that is local and has a good reputation. I then found the review for Gary and gave him a call. He was able to come out afterwork and showed up on time. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly. As it turned out it just needed a good cleaning cleaned as it was clogged. Now the dishwasher works as good as new. Will definitely use him again.

Gary had impecable service. He was very fast, neat and tidy and knowledgable about all the different appliances. When my 7 year old air conditioner broke down 3 summers ago, we called Gary the next day to take a look at it. He fixed it in 1 hour and it has been perfect since. Gary is a miracle worker and a pleasure to have in our home

Gary is perhaps the best repairman in the business. He's the goto guy if you have any problems. In the past two people came to fix my dishwasher, and they never solve the problem. The typical solution for those inexperience technicians was to simply replace it. Gary in the other hand fixed the problem in seconds. It was just one of the hoses needed to be replaced. I cannot believe the other guys were not able to fix this simple problem. He should consider opening a franchise all over the GTA area.

Gary is very kind and friendly, he treats his customers well and finds you the best deals and takes the best care of our kitchen appliance repair needs often! He comes the next day or same day! Fair pricing and clean work always with Gary.
