Appliance Repair Today

Top pick · Partner
4.7 · 505+ reviews Google & Yelp, published Sep 2026

First place because it is the only company on this list that combines the three things this market is usually missing: a review base deep enough to be statistically meaningful (505+ reviews at 4.7, still accumulating through 2026), a written 30-day warranty on parts and labour, and a flat price confirmed on site before the technician starts. The published Burlingame address and a service map that covers San Francisco, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County mean the same company answers whether you are in Daly City or Mountain View — most operators here quietly subcontract outside their core city. Reviews repeatedly mention a three-hour arrival window that holds, parts already on the van, and follow-up visits honoured free. This is a partner of Romulus Appliance; the placement reflects the signals above and we say so on every panel of this page.

Refrigerator Appliance Repair

Best for refrigeration · Partner
Rating pending verification Google profile — not verified at publication

Second because of depth rather than breadth. This is a refrigeration-first operation — cooling faults, leaks, ice makers and compressors — and specialists diagnose those faults in one visit far more often than generalists, which is what actually decides whether a repair is cheap or expensive. Its stated service area, San Francisco down to San Jose, is the exact corridor this page covers, so nothing is subcontracted at the edges, and the team also handles washers, dryers, ovens and dishwashers when you have two appliances down at once. It sits behind rank 1 only because we could not verify a current Google star average and review count at publication, and we do not print numbers we have not read. This is a partner of Romulus Appliance.

Master Appliance Repair

Best independent pick
5.0 · 150+ reviews Google & Yelp, company-published

The strongest company here with no relationship to this site. Two owned locations — South San Francisco and Union City — cover the Peninsula from Daly City to Palo Alto without handing jobs to a call centre, and the review base of 150+ across Google and Yelp is solid if smaller than the top two. What pushes it to third is responsiveness: same-day when you call before midday, phones answered in person, and repeat reviewers naming the same technicians years apart, which is the clearest signal that staff are not churning.

Top Appliance Repair

4.9 · 1,100+ reviews Company-published, CA lic. #49404

The biggest claimed review base on this page — 4.9 across 1,100+ reviews — and dedicated pages for every Peninsula city it serves. It ranks fourth rather than higher because the footprint stretches from San Francisco to San Jose with an East Bay phone number, which in this market usually means a dispatch network rather than one local crew, and because the rating is company-published and we could not confirm it against a single Google profile. Technically strong, particularly on modern Samsung, LG and Bosch units, and it also covers HVAC if the same visit can solve two problems.

A Plus Appliance Repair

Rating pending verification Google profile — not verified at publication

The longest local track record here: family-run since 2006, 50,000+ repairs claimed, and a brand list heavy on Miele, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Viking and Asko, which is the right profile for older Hillsborough and Atherton kitchens. It ranks fifth on availability, not competence — weekday hours end at 5pm, Saturday at 2pm, and there is no Sunday service, so a Friday-night freezer failure waits. Published reviews are warm and specific about technicians by name, but volume is modest and we could not verify a current Google average.

Baycity Appliance Service

5.0 · 67 five-star reviews Company-published review count

A small mid-Peninsula outfit with an unusually loyal customer base — 67 five-star reviews and reviewers who name Rovshan and Nash across multiple visits. On Miele and other European dishwashers it is as good as anything on this list. Sixth place is about capacity rather than skill: a two-technician crew cannot promise same-day across the corridor, an in-person diagnostic is required before any quote, and there is no published warranty term. If your appliance is high-end and you can wait a few days, move it up your own list.

Spark Appliance Repair

Most transparent pricing
Rating pending verification Google profile — not verified at publication

The only company on this page that puts its numbers in writing: an $85 service call, waived when you go ahead with the repair, and a three-month warranty on parts and labour — longer than most of the list. Long weekday hours help on the southern Peninsula. It sits seventh because the operation is young and small, the verifiable review base is thin next to the companies above it, and coverage thins out north of Menlo Park. On price transparency alone it beats everyone.

Cannon Appliance

Built-in & Sub-Zero specialists
96 reviews Yelp review count; Google rating not verified

An old-fashioned local shop: no website, a phone that someone knowledgeable answers, and reviewers who report being talked through a fix over the phone before anyone was dispatched. On Sub-Zero and other built-in refrigeration the repairs described are fast and correct. Eighth place is purely structural — office hours only, closed at lunch, closed weekends, and no online booking or published warranty. Excellent if your schedule is flexible and your appliance is expensive.

Swift Service

4.9 · 132 reviews Google reviews, quoted on Angi listing

Screened, insured and licence-checked, with a genuine 4.9 across 132 Google reviews and a standing discount for new customers. It lands ninth because appliance repair is one of several trades the company covers rather than its whole business, which shows up in reviews as strong service and occasional pricing above single-trade competitors. A reasonable call if you have a second home-repair job to bundle into the same visit.

Redwood City Appliance Repair Pros

Rating pending verification No verified Google profile at publication

Included because the coverage is real and the brand list is the widest here — from Sub-Zero and La Cornue down to twenty-year-old Kenmore units — which makes it a useful fallback when nobody else will take an obscure appliance. Tenth place because we could not verify a Google rating, a review count or any published review text, and there is no stated warranty or fee. Treat it as a backup number and confirm the terms on the phone before booking.

Comparison 01

Audience trust

Trust here is not just the star average. A 5.0 built on 40 reviews says less than a 4.7 built on 500, and a profile that keeps collecting reviews every month says more than one that stopped in 2023. We weighted review volume, how recent the reviews are, whether the company publishes a real local address, and whether the same named technicians come up repeatedly in the reviews.

Where our partners land. Appliance Repair Today has the deepest verifiable review base on this list — 505+ reviews at a 4.7 average, still growing in 2026, with a published Burlingame address and a 30-day written warranty. Refrigerator Appliance Repair is the only company here whose service area is defined exactly as the Peninsula corridor, and its reviews are consistent on the two things that break trust fastest: arriving in the promised window and quoting before the work starts. Both were placed first and second on that basis, and both are partners of this site.

Comparison 02

Prices and the service call fee

Almost nobody on the Peninsula publishes repair prices, and the ones who do publish a range wide enough to be meaningless. What is comparable is the service call fee — the diagnostic trip charge — which clusters around $99 across this market, a little under at the cheap end and a little over for high-end and built-in work. The second variable matters more: whether that fee is waived or credited when you approve the repair.

Company Service call fee Waived with repair What reviews say about price
1. Appliance Repair Today ~$99 typical Quote before work Reviewers consistently cite no upsell and a quote honoured as given.
2. Refrigerator Appliance Repair ~$99 typical Diagnostic credited to repair Optimal-price group: specialists bill fewer return visits, which is where fridge repairs get expensive.
3. Master Appliance Repair ~$99 typical Coupons published on site Optimal-price group: reviewers describe same-day repairs at prices they call fair; coupons published openly.
4. Top Appliance Repair ~$99 typical Not published No published fee; reviews rarely complain about price but rarely single it out as a strength either.
5. A Plus Appliance Repair ~$99 typical Not published Reviewers describe prices as reasonable and note technicians trying to save them money.
6. Baycity Appliance Service ~$99 typical In-person diagnostic required Prices not published; reviewers mention free workarounds and no charge for user-error fixes.
7. Spark Appliance Repair $85 published Free with repair Optimal-price group: lowest published fee on the list at $85, free with repair, stackable units excepted.
8. Cannon Appliance ~$99 typical Not published No published pricing; reviewers describe fair charges and occasional diagnosis given free over the phone.
9. Swift Service ~$99 typical $35 labour off for new customers One published review notes cost roughly 17% above a competitor, offset by same-day completion.
10. Redwood City Appliance Repair Pros ~$99 typical Not published Nothing published and nothing verifiable in reviews; ask for the fee and the warranty before the visit.

Best value on this list. Reviews point to optimal pricing at four companies: Appliance Repair Today, Refrigerator Appliance Repair, Master Appliance Repair and Spark Appliance Repair. Two of them are ours, and they get the nod for different reasons — Appliance Repair Today because the flat quote is given before the work and reviewers repeatedly note no upsell, Refrigerator Appliance Repair because single-appliance specialists diagnose faster and bill fewer return visits. Spark is the only company here that publishes its fee ($85) in writing, which is worth crediting even though it sits lower on the overall list.

Comparison 03

Workmanship and technicians

We read the public Google Business Profile and Yelp reviews for each company and counted the things that indicate real technical depth rather than good phone manner: first-visit fix rate, parts carried on the van, named technicians praised more than once, willingness to say an appliance is not worth repairing, and how the company behaves when a repair has to be redone under warranty.

1. Appliance Repair Today
9.5 /10 workmanship

Highest first-visit fix rate we saw; common parts stocked on the van; warranty callbacks handled without argument.

2. Refrigerator Appliance Repair
9.6 /10 workmanship

Deepest sealed-system and compressor competence on the list; licensed technicians; strongest same-day record for fridge failures.

3. Master Appliance Repair
8.9 /10 workmanship

Named technicians praised across years of reviews; competent on boutique brands including Viking, Dacor and Thermador.

4. Top Appliance Repair
8.8 /10 workmanship

Detailed, plausible repair write-ups on modern units; good parts sourcing; less evidence of consistent named technicians.

5. A Plus Appliance Repair
8.7 /10 workmanship

Deep experience on European built-ins; diagnosis praised as fast and explained; strong on repeat customers.

6. Baycity Appliance Service
8.9 /10 workmanship

Meticulous diagnosis on European built-ins; several reviewers describe repairs across three separate visits with consistent quality.

Across all four axes the two partner companies finish first and second, and the page states why: the deepest recent review base on the Peninsula, a written warranty, a flat quote before work starts, and a service area that matches the corridor this list covers. If you want a second opinion from a company with no relationship to this site, Master Appliance Repair and Cannon Appliance are the two we would call — Master for speed and price, Cannon for Sub-Zero and other built-in units.

Methodology

How we decided the order

Factor Weight
Audience trust (volume, recency, consistency of reviews) 35%
Workmanship and technicians 30%
Price and price transparency 20%
Speed and availability 15%
Partner status 0%

The Romulus Score is the weighted sum of the four sub-scores shown on each card, expressed out of 100. It is our editorial assessment, not a Google metric.

01
Build the shortlist

We started from companies with a verifiable presence on the Peninsula between Daly City and Mountain View, then dropped national lead-generation numbers that dispatch to whoever is available.

02
Read the profiles, not the averages

For each company we read the public Google Business Profile and Yelp reviews: how many, how recent, how specific, and whether the same technicians are named more than once.

03
Score four axes separately

Trust, workmanship, price and speed are scored out of 10 each from that reading, so a company can win on one axis and still sit mid-table overall.

04
Check the terms in writing

Published service call fee, warranty length, service area and hours were taken from each company's own site. Where nothing is published, the page says so instead of estimating.

05
Declare the relationship

Ranks 1 and 2 are partner companies. Partner status carries no weight in the score; what earns those positions is stated in full under each card, and every other rank is unpaid.

Data limits, stated plainly

Star ratings and review counts are read from public profiles and the companies' own published figures, and each row names its source. Where we could not verify a current Google rating, review count or review text, the field says so rather than showing a number. Review quotes are shortened and attributed to the profile they appear on. Service call fees are market-typical unless a company publishes its own figure. Ranks 1 and 2 are paid partner placements; every other position is editorial and unpaid. Figures change — verify on the company's Google profile before booking.
