When an appliance breaks, it’s tempting to choose the cheapest or fastest option. But hiring an unlicensed or brand-new repair company can create bigger problems than the one you’re trying to fix. At Jeffrey’s Appliance Service, we’ve been repairing appliances in the Spokane Valley area since 1985, and we’ve seen the difference experience and proper credentials make.
Risks of Using Unlicensed or Inexperienced Repair Companies
Unlicensed technicians may lack formal training, insurance, or accountability. Common issues include:
Incorrect diagnoses that lead to unnecessary part replacements
Use of cheap, non-OEM parts that fail quickly or void warranties
Poor workmanship that causes new problems or safety hazards
No real warranty on the repair
Difficulty getting the company to return if something goes wrong
Potential liability if damage occurs to your home (uninsured workers)
In some cases, customers end up paying twice — once for the failed repair and again for a qualified company to fix it properly.
Benefits of Choosing a Long-Established Company
A company that has been in business for decades, like Jeffrey’s Appliance Service, offers several advantages:
Factory-trained, certified technicians with years of hands-on experience
Proper licensing and insurance for your protection
Access to genuine OEM parts and a large in-stock inventory
Consistent processes and transparent pricing
A real workmanship warranty backed by a company that will still be here next year
Accountability and a local reputation built over 40+ years and more than 80,000 customers
When something goes wrong, you want a company that stands behind its work and has the resources to make it right.
How to Choose Wisely
Before you book a repair, ask:
How long has the company been in business?
Are the technicians factory-trained and insured?
Do they use OEM parts?
What kind of warranty do they offer on labor?
Can they provide local references or reviews?
Choosing an established, reputable company may cost a little more upfront, but it usually saves money, time, and frustration in the long run.
