Cornejo’s Appliances

1÷20÷16 Got to the store at 9:30 am had a refurbished Gas Dryer (Kenmore Elite $ 269) installed by 11:15 am! They installed a vent and gas line kit at no extra cost (every competitor does charge). The installer was courteous and professional like Juan was at the store.
I took a chance — now I’m a believer.
Thank you

I bought an older Whirlpool washer from Cornejos since craigslist is so risky. I was impressed by Cornejo’s warranty «just in case».
I was initially interested in one of their newer machines. I asked the young woman there what she would recommend as the best washer. She recommended an older Whirlpool for $ 186. She convinced me older machines were less expensive to repair and more reliable.
Delivery and Installation went fine. I asked the delivery person (an older latino man — owner?) about the proper load size. I had read that overloading is the most common reason washers fail.
It was later that I noticed some issues with the machine. It had great agitation but it left my clothes covered in lint. In addition, the spin cycle was weak and left the clothes too wet. When I called to arrange a repair I was asked first if I still had the receipt. He said they wouldn’t honor the warranty without the receipt.
Then he asked me about the problems with the machine. Everything I brought up was countered with a rebuttal. I said it put streaks of lint on my clothes, he said this was because i washed the towels with the regular fabric (I never do this). I said the spin cycle didn’t work well, he said it was because I overloaded the machine or put heavy fabrics in there. I practically had to beg them to come look.
A few days later a repair person called to ask if they could come over in a few minutes because they happened to be in the area. Luckily we were home and said yes. The person that came to my door sounded like the person who I spoke with on the phone. He did the same thing of immediately rebutting all complaints. All he did was watch it agitate in the middle of a load he asked us to put in. Without any examination he told me and my wife that everything was ok — the lint was because we air dryed our clothes. I told him I had lived without dryers for eco reasons for years: this was much more lint than normal.
I said «I think you should at least examine the machine before you leave». He kept making excuses about why it wasn’t necessary. He was on the verge of leaving without doing anything when I said I would describe the situation in Unilocal if he didn’t at least examine the machine. He said «I don’t have to be talked to that way» and left out my door. It was obvious he was looking for any reason to leave.
Judging from his lack of respect, my wife and I wondered if he had an issue with queer people. There is no way of knowing but we both wondered this independently.
THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T GO TO CORNEJO’S USED APPLIANCES:
— DON’T HONOR THEIR WARRANTY — THEY JUST OFFER IT TO MAKE THE SALE
— BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE — REPAIRPERSON EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL

We bought our washer and dryer there 2 ½ years ago and they are still going strong! Cornejo and every other person I have interacted with there have always been super friendly and helpful. They have a generous warranty. The buying experience was wonderful — friendly, not pushy and straightforward. A month and a half after we got them the motor died in the washer. They immediately came out, gave us a loaner and had ours repaired and returned in 2 days. A year and a half later, we had a part that needed replacing. Again, fast, friendly and competent service for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him!

I came in, met Francisco immediately and he directed me to the right spot. Within 2 hours of purchase, the appliances were delivered and set up.

Our electric dryer stopped working so we had to hang our clothes to dry (old school style). This was inconvenient for us being that we live in a duplex.
We researched the internet to find an electric dryer. My wife found this business. We went there on 07/​05/​2013. Found a dryer for $ 220. They replaced the broken door and delivered it the same day. They were very professional and prompt. As you can see from my rating, I was very pleased.
They take credit and debit cards. There is a fee to use either service. The fee is cheaper if you pay with a debit card.
Lastly, the little food stand out front has delicious tacos.

My washer broke, and I did not want to buy a new one as most of the reviews on line were not especially positive toward todays washing machines. I found Cornejo’s Appliances in the phone book, and rushed right down (the washing was piling up). Christie was extremely helpful, and I chose one to be delivered on Monday. Sunday, I changed my mind, and choose another washer, so I called and left a message. Christie had my name on it when I arrived at the store on Monday. She changed all the paperwork, and said the washer would be delivered the next day. It was, and I have been very happy with my purchase! The machine is warranted for 6 months, the price was very reasonable, and yes, they did take my old machine away. Should another appliance break, Cornejo’s will be the first place I look for a replacement. I absolutely recommend Cornejo’s Appliance on 801 A Street, Antioch, Ca.

Francisco is the name of the gentleman who owns this business. He has 2 locations. One in oakland and the other in antioch. He’s very honest and efficient. Great to work with! I was referred by my god mother. She’s been buying appliances from him forever. Now I will too! He has new and used appliances — stoves/​ovens, washer/​dryer, fridge/​freezer. I highly recommend coming to him! Honest, family run business. Excellent prices, includes 6 month warranty, delivery, and take away of old appliance.
