I’m glad to get my washer fixed. For one small plastic piece and the other part it goes into, I am surprised they were as expensive as they were. If you get your parts from China, maybe you should try purchasing your parts in the United States. You would save yourselves money and your customers money also. On Rory’s first trip to my home, I do not know what took him so long in the laundry/bathroom? He knew the part on the lid that was broken and the part it went into. But he was back there for a very long time for those two small pieces. Just racking up more time?

The technicians notified me they were running ahead of schedule and showed up when they said they would. Introduced themselves, got right to work, notified me of the problem and cost to fix. Also let me know when they were done. Left the house in good order. I’d recommend them. Thanks Hometown Heroes!
