- A 90-day warranty on both
What makes a repair cost more
Two things push a repair toward the higher end of the range: specialty parts (built-in or commercial-style appliances) and sealed-system work on refrigerators and freezers, which involves refrigerant handling and typically the most labor time.
How to avoid surprise charges
The single best protection is a flat-rate quote given before any repair starts, not an hourly estimate. Ask directly: “is this a flat-rate quote, or could the price change once you’re inside the unit?” A reputable local shop will always quote flat-rate after diagnosis.
