Frequently asked

Is $220 a fair price for dryer repair in Washington?

Yes. $220 is right around what most homeowners in Washington pay. Anything from $69 to $539 is inside the normal range for an appliance repair company; above $539 it is worth getting a second quote.

Why do quotes for the same job vary so much?

Gas versus electric dryers and the specific failed part. Motor and control board replacements at the top of the range. Company overhead matters too: a large company with trucks, dispatchers and a warranty department charges more than a one-person shop, and both can be honest prices.

When should I get a second quote?

Any time a quote lands above $539, or when the contractor cannot break it into parts, labor and fees. Ask for the itemized version, ask what would change the price, and confirm licensing and insurance. You can also paste the quote into the free QuoteJury checker for an instant second opinion.
