Before you say yes

Good questions to ask your appliance repairer, and the warning signs to walk away from.

Questions to ask

  • What is the call-out fee, and is it taken off the repair price if I go ahead?
  • Can you give me a price before you start any work?
  • Is it worth repairing, or should I replace it?
  • Do you carry the parts, and how long will the repair take?
  • Is there a warranty on the parts and the labour?

Red flags

  • They won't tell you the call-out fee before they come.
  • They quote a big price over the phone without seeing the appliance.
  • They say it can't be fixed, but can't say what is wrong.
  • They ask for payment for parts up front and then can't say when they arrive.
  • No written invoice or warranty on the repair.
