Excellent service. Very knowledgeable. I will continue to shop with them for any of my other needs. Just repaired the dryer last month and the washer this month. Hopefully we are good fir now, taking comfort in knowing that they are there if i do need them again. Highly recommended.

I'm just a residential customer and have purchased from them over the years. They are always knowledgeable and professional and friendly to the small customer as well as the big. This particular time we only needed a $12 item, but they were professional like it was a high-ticket item. We live 70 miles from Wichita in a small town and the representative found the least expensive way to ship it to me (it was free shipping), and shipped it the same day. I can't say enough good about this company. Highly recommended. I just found out through looking at these reviews that they sell appliances. Guess where I'll be purchasing my next appliances.

So far so good! Went in to find a specific part for my dryer, and they had it in stock. Mitch was super helpful and informative and made me feel confident in making the fix on my own. Will go back for sure!

Only place around this area that truly knows what they have and knows their business. The team there is always helpful and quick. The "Big Box" stores are not even close. Great job.
