Yingst Tv & Appliance

beware!1 in december my husband bought a gas dryer from yingst. he was told it was a older floor model and that they would give him a deal on it. so he bought it. when i called today because it has already broken down… i was told that it is not under warranty because it is a used dryer. beware !!! they may say it is a new appliance but they refurbish them and sell them as new. and then your stuck with a broken appliance. didnt last 6 months. buy from home depot or lowes

We have done busininess with Yingst for more almost 20 years. They are our go-​to business for all appliances-​whether we get them there or not – and we usually do get them from Yingst!
When the Maytag dishwasher that we purchased from them late 2011 wouldn’t work – on Memorial Day! — we didn’t panic — just called them the next day. They would have sent a repair person out that day or next, but the problem description appeared to be in the control panel– which had to be ordered. So-​today the repairman, Timothy and an assistant, arrived before the estimated show time-​got to work– switched out the malfunctioning board for a new one-​made sure the new board worked-​and that there weren’t any other problems-​and left– ahead of the projected show time-​which allowed us to get on with our day.
Maytag paid for the control panel due to a history of problems with this part – looking online this part is easily $ 200.00. With the service call– $ 65 and labor -$ 50 –the cost of this repair would have come very close to the 50% level– where you have to consider buying new. Another business might have not shared this cost break with us – but that’s why we go to Yingst– you don’t stay in business since 1944 if you don’t value your customers! First-​they have appliances that have proven track records– and when needed– they have the qualified repair people to fix them. Forget the other stores– you want to have knowledgable people who can assist you in every step from selection to installation and beyond. We always find what we need and want at Yingst!

I have been looking for new kitchen appliances for over a year and with all the stores I have visited you can’t beat Yingst. I have been working with Matt and he has been very patient with us and very knowledgeable. You don’t get this kind of service from a big box store. We have now made the decision and purchased our appliances and have been very pleased with the experience. This business is how a business should be run. They answer your questions and don’t try to push you towards something that may cost more. They also only sell what they service. We are both very pleased with this buying experience.

I recently purchased a frig, washer and dryer. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, from start to finish the staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend Yingst Appliance to all my friends and family!!! I also recommend getting the insurance they offer-​covers repairs and service calls to my home.

Wayne was excellent! He was able to get me the part quickly and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend this company!

I thought I did a review a few weeks ago but it did not save. This place is great. I went here because of the good reviews and prices and they lived up to the stellar reputation. This will be our «go to» for my families’ future appliance needs! I highly recommend them to everyone now.

They came to repair my front load Whirlpool washing machine which was 4 years old. They told me that if they repaired one of the chips it might not be the one that is bad. So it was a gamble. He also stated that they were not making parts for it anymore. So I decided to purchase a new machine instead of taking the risk of having to put over$ 300 into my old machine. Decided to go old school and look at their Speed Queen top loaders. They told me that I would have to wait a month for one because when the delivery truck comes they are already pre-​purchased. So I went to another local «mom & pop» appliance store. I have always had a good experience with Yingst. I have purchase 2 appliances from them.

They were able to fit my appointment sooner then predicted. The man who came was very professional and was able to fix my dryer issue fairly inexpensively and quickly. He explained the issue in terms I was able to understand since I am not a person who knows about electronics. I would use them again. Very satisfied customer!

We purchased a home and completely gutted it. I needed all new appliances. I was told to go to a certain place, which I did and received prices for the items I selected. I went on Unilocal and that place didn’t have the best reviews. I then checked other stores on Unilocal who sold major appliances. Yingst had very good reviews, much better than my original place and another that I was considering. I went to Yingst with the purpose of purchasing my appliances. After going through each appliance and the price I was quoted from my original place, Yingst prices were higher on every item. The salesman told me that he was going to speak to his boss and get back to me by the next day regarding matching the prices. After several days, I hadn’t heard back from him. I honestly was ready to purchase from them strictly from their Unilocal reviews. I ended up going to another place who not only matched the price from my original place, but then gave me another $ 200 discount and a $ 400 gift card. I was very disappointed that I experienced such poor customer service from a place that I thought I was going to purchase my appliances from. Oh well.

Another great experience with Yingst. Mike and Candy are so customer oriented, that it is a pleasure to deal with them. I needed a repair on my Refrigerator and true to form, the work was done in a professional manner. No matter what type of repair to appliances you need, you can count on Yingst to come through with flying colors. Try them, you won’t be sorry.

I was about to buy Maytag appliances from Costco, when I looked up reviews online; they were awful. Then I remembered YINGST, from whom I’d purchased my last appliances, years ago…
Absolutely wonderful experience getting educated and purchasing several appliances, at reasonable prices. Personable, friendly staff, and they do know appliances. Delivered when promised by very pleasant young men who took care removing the old and settling up the new. I’d forgotten to alert them that the old stove was in the yard; they returned a few days later to pick it up…
No wonder they’ve been in business for some 40 years

I was moving into a new home and going on a business trip. Needed to a get a new gas stove top and was referred to them. They helped me with everything on the phone and by e-​mail. Purchased the stove top I was looking for at a great price and referred me too an installer who picked it up for me and installed it 2 days later.
Great service I needed and was looking for when I was in a pinch for time.
Highly recommend them for appliances.

I deposited money on 4 appliances in August 2014 but did not have them delivered/​installed until November 2014. I have now been informed that the warranty begins at day of purchase. Consequently I have lost 3 months of warranty. It would have been nice if I had been informed. Their service call rate is $ 65.00. Needless to say I am disappointed

My dryer stopped heating and I debated if I should call someone to come fix it. Luckily I looked on Unilocal and found Yingst. I called them and was transfered to the service department where I spoke to a very nice and informative guy who told me I probably just needed to replace a simple thermal fuse… I drove down picked up the part and he was nice on instructing me how to replace it. My dryer is working and it was only $ 15 thanks to the nice man who works there (sorry I forgot his name) I will be returning!:)

This place is absolutely amazing! I was on a mission to find fancier cook top knobs for my new house. Thanks to Unilocal I was led to this place. I was immediately greeted by lots of smiling faces and a very warm welcome.
This place has everything from refrigerators, washer and dryer’s, to appliance parts. You name it and they probably have it.
In the back of the street side storefront is an addition just for parts and services. A woman by the name of Candy was instrumental in helping me to find the fancy cooktop knobs I was on the hunt for. I kid you not, I was in there less than five minutes and she worked her magic. Not only did I find the cooktop knobs I was looking for, but she gave me a discount so that I would come back! Winning! Now that’s service.
If you are in the market for parts or appliances, then you must pay this place a visit. The service here is wonderful and they have some pretty good deals.

TOP NOTCH
noticed that my mother’s dryer lint catcher needed to be replaced so i planned on ordering one online. i got the model # then went to her PC. i googled maytag parts and YINGST name was on the top of the list. since they were open on Saturday and in the neighboring city we decided not to wait to get one in the mail.
to make a long story short, i took in her old lint filter into the old yet clean and organized store. we were greeted quickly by two people (cannot find one at the big stores!). the nice lady with the beautiful long hair (been working there for 30 years) took the filter and we followed her to the adjacent building (parts and repair area). within a minute or two she returned with not one but TWO filters. one new $ 40 and the other like new but pre-​owned for $ 20! wow!
AMAZING customer service
TRUSTWORTHY
GREAT PRICES
«Charles Thomas Yingst founded Yingst Appliance in 1944 on strong moral values and integrity» ~ a tradition carries on to this day!
they have a fair selection of appliances and are very knowledgeable about everything they sell.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Repair service horrendously overpriced. I paid $ 130 for a $ 20 part and a 10 min job. This place was recommended by my neighbor but I will look elsewhere next time. Doesn’t the management see that steep repair prices discourage future sales? I will never buy from Yingst and will discourage others too. :((
What I would have liked to see was the service charge credited ($ 59), as some businesses do when I authorize repair.

Let’s keep in mind here that 3 stars means average, not bad. Sometimes you Unilocalers tend to inflate your star distribution, convincing yourself that an average job warrants 4 stars. It doesn’t.
Preface that to say, Yingst did a completely adequate job — nothing more or less than you would expect from an appliance repair company.
It’s a bummer that they’re closed Mondays because my dryer broke on a Sunday, so it meant I had to wait until Tuesday to even get through to them. Then they were all booked up for Tuesday so I was told I’d have to wait until Wednesday to get someone out here. No worries, I had the hot summer breeze on my side, so going three days without a dryer really isn’t that big of a deal. I got on the schedule for Wednesday, but a spot ended up opening up later in the day and they were actually able to send someone out Tuesday. Score.
Here’s the cost breakdown, for those of you shopping around:
$ 59 for the visit
$ 50 labor per hour (one hour minimum)
You do have the option of bringing your appliance in yourself and avoiding the $ 59 service fee.
I read some prior negative reviews indicating that Yingst was shady with their charges. I didn’t find that to be true. On the contrary, the woman I spoke with was super upfront about the costs. She said $ 59 for the visit, $ 50 for labor, and estimated that with a 15mo old dryer like ours, the total cost for repair would probably be around $ 150 (or $ 200 if it was a motor problem, which she didn’t think it was). That was transparent enough for me.
That said, it turns out there was nothing wrong with our dryer at all. The technician came out, took it apart, and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He put it back together again and voila! it worked. Given that there were therefore no repairs to be done, an exceptional company would not have charged me for labor at all. I’m not saying Yingst did anything shady here — I just think they could have thrown me a bone and not charged me for 1hr of non-​existent labor. That’s what separates the 3-​star companies from the 4 and 5 star, I suppose.
What does come with the $ 59 service fee (correction: show up at your house fee) is a 30 day warranty, meaning if anything goes wrong in the next 30 days, you only have to pay the $ 50 p/​hr in labor, without the $ 59 start up cost. That’s nice.
As a side note, if you live closer to the coast in North County, I highly recommend giving this guy a try:
I called him first and although he didn’t service my area, he was extremely friendly and helped me for FREE over the phone. My gut tells me if he actually came out to complete a repair, he’d be as fair and upright as they come.

I called at 8:30 this morning to see if I could get a service call today. I was told they were all booked up. She said she could set one up for maybe tomorrow and i told her that no one would be home tomorrow, that today was my husbands day off. She asked me where I lived and it told her. She said she would put me on the list in case someone cancelled. I told her that would be fine.
She called me at 2:30 and said she had a repair man that could come in the next 30 minutes. I told her to definitely come because my husband was home. I called him and they showed up very quickly. He diagnosed it and gave us the cost (very reasonable) and we told him to fix it. We were very happy and satisfied with our first experience with Yingst. We will definitely tell all our friends to try them out!!!

We stopped by today to get some tips on oven range hood. I tell you, we have never left here disappointed.
We have bought appliances from the store many times. From the sales to customer service it has been all good. Everyone is very helpful and truthful.
We love and support businesses like this!
