You want a number before you book the call. Fair. Most appliance repairs on the Treasure Coast cost between $100 and $500, including parts and labor. The diagnostic fee runs $65-$109. At Treasure Coast Appliance Repair, we apply that fee toward the repair, so you pay once, not twice.
The Diagnostic Fee: What You Pay Before Anything Gets Fixed
A technician drives to your home, pulls out the appliance, tests components, and identifies the problem. That costs $65-$109 depending on the company. Some companies keep that fee on top of the repair. We don't. Our $109 diagnostic is subtracted from your repair total if you approve the work. If a repair costs $275, you pay $275, not $275 + $109. Ask any company you call whether they apply or stack the diagnostic fee. It changes the real price by $65-$109.

Flat-Rate vs. Hourly: Pick Flat-Rate
We quote a flat price before starting. Whether the repair takes 30 minutes or 2 hours, the number on your invoice stays the same. Companies charging $75-$150/hour have an incentive to work slow. Flat-rate companies have an incentive to work fast. The price is locked. You know the total before we pick up a screwdriver.
