| - I called Vladimir after finding him on Yelp for a washing machine issue. The clutch was going out on it. Vladimir called me back with the price of the part, $375. I told him to get it and come on out. He made an appointment with me, was on time, looked at my washer, prepared to install the new part, and then saw that my motor was leaking grease from the bearings onto the clutch housing. He told me that it was an expensive fix, and that if he installed the new part, it would only last a few months and then I would be back where I started. I had him put it back together without the new part, and while he was there, he also looked at my dishwasher, and told me how to fix it myself for cheap, and told me my under the counter wine cooler would be very expensive to fix, and that I would be better off buying a new wine cooler while I was buying the new washer. He was honest, could have installed the part and charged me $500, but instead he charged me the service call and a small fee for lubricating the clutch while he had it out. We were very impressed with Vladimir after some of the "professionals" we have dealt with over the past several years. He's now on our speed-dial as our appliance repair guy.
