A & M Service

I called Al about our aging
was working, but not working well. Other large companies could not be bothered returning calls, or coming. Apparently we live in such a disposable world that you just buy a new dishwasher and send the old one to the dump! But not, Al, he was willing to look at my limping dishwasher.
Al is the epitome of a good, honest man. He works on a fixed fee basis and because he had to make several trips to my house and try several things, he probably did not make any money out of my business. Still he was a man of his word! He gave me his first theory about what the problem was and offered me choices about how to go about it. Basically I could try and see if the cheapest method would work, or replace the whole motor, etc. I was a part of the decision and I learned from him! He offered advice about how to keep it running better in the future. All the while he was a kind and fun to talk to… and my dishwasher works great now!
I never write reviews but I just felt so strongly that I want people to know what a great guy Al is and to confirm what others have written. I have recommended him to neighbours and everyone has thanked me and loved Al. I didn’t get his whole life story but my meighbour did and said it was fascinating. In short, I highly recommend A&M for your repair.

I called Al because of the generous reviews he’d received here. He certainly deserves the praise. I called regarding a problem with my gas range. He was excellent on the phone, knew what the problem was just by my description, and came the morning as promised to fix it. He also suggested we call him when we are thinking about getting a new oven after we renovate our kitchen. He says he knows which models are most reliable, and which to avoid. He’s certainly my new go-​to repair guy!

Called Al to repair my broken glass on the inside of my oven door. Very fast and efficient. We were very happy with the job and th price. Would highly recommend him.

I’ve actually used these guys before when I lived with my sister in Coquitlam as they were literally a few blocks from my house, however, now I live in Burnaby and searched them on Unilocal and really wanted to use their service. I just barely made it within their service area, however, the good news is that I am getting a new fridge.
When I had the repair done in Coquitlam for my dishwasher and sink, the technician was polite, professional and reasonable in his prices. My dishwasher at the time had no hope and instead of ripping me off by trying to do repairs on it, he just told me to call it a day and get a new one. His honesty was really appreciated.
He was also good about the embarrassing situation of finding all the cutlery my sister kept dropping in the sink as well as the rice that was clogging the sink (my sister again).
This time his communication was fast in regards to my fridge and even appropriately followed up by asking additional questions.

I called him because the other Unilocal review seemed pretty good and because he was close to my home. I really liked that he came the same day that I called. While he was repairing my fridge he took the time to explain what was wrong and how he would fix it. He actually guaranteed his work and to call him if it wasn’t fully fixed after he was done. He fixed it about 2 months ago and there are no problems. He seems to enjoy what he does. Great job.

My mom was cleaning her gas stove and poured water in places that it didn’t like because soon the smell of burned plastic and smoke was coming out.
After a quick Google Map search of local appliance repairmen, I came across A & M Service, speaking to Al. By listening to happened and asking me the model number he immediately gave me a likely hypothesis as to what happened.
Then he recommended a couple of trouble shooting and fixing tips over the PHONE which worked! He says if these fixes don’t work, then he’ll come out and look for himself, giving me a range in cost estimates.
The best part? He only charges a super reasonable flat rate AND he says if there isn’t anything he can do once he has a look, he usually doesn’t charge! Can you imagine? A repairman who tries to resolve your issues over the phone, charges a flat rate but won’t charge if there isn’t anything that can’t be done???
He says he is here to help and not just make money. Just wish I could bring the guy with me back to Chicago.
