Can you give me an estimate for the total cost of repair over the phone?
No. Every appliance repair is unique. Repair costs vary based on the type of appliance, your location, and the severity and type of problem that needs repair.
When you set up a repair service call, you'll know how much it costs to have a Sears Home Services technician visit your home and initially examine the appliance (often around $130).
The tech will diagnose the failure and provide you with an up-front estimate to repair the appliance at that time. The repair cost estimate will:
- Incorporate the initial diagnosis fee (also called the trip fee).
- Include the cost of repair parts needed.
- Provide you with the cost of labor and a complete quote to complete the repair.
You can then decide at that point whether to go forward with the repair.
