Let's say your washer or dryer is broken, and you need to find a repair
company to fix it. How would you make the decision between an
independent service company as opposed to one of the large national
outfits? What resource would you access to find such a business? What
do you see as the benefits of a small or large operation? If you could
design a service from the ground up, what elements would be present
that would prompt you to make it your first choice? I'm interested in
your random thoughts on the subject.

First previous experience would prove Sears repair is a BIG RIPOFF.
nice techs but very expensive and any company who charges twice for
travel for the exact same tech to service a furnace with air deserves
to go out of business. they are so big the overcharge for parts too.

I would look to a small local outfit with referals from friends.

big companies are just in it for big bucks:( local guy iosnt supporting
a office tower somewhere with hot chicks as secretarys to president
with private jet:(

Of course I generally repair my own appliances......

I fix office machines for a living

I agree with the above. We bought a Sears Kenmore fridge and found the
ice maker was leaking water. It took 4 service calls to get the
problem fixed -- by replacing the ice maker. They wrote up the waranty
work for about $128 per visit plus the cost of the replacement. So the
service cost was GREATER THAN THE FRIDGE COST!

Sears is totally messed up.

For some reason I just can't stand that guy. That Paul guy sidekick of
Letterman is another.
