A few things worth knowing before you book anyone in Dubai. First, be wary of quotes given over the phone before a technician has actually seen the appliance. Nobody can accurately price a compressor or control board job blind, and the ones who try usually either underquote and add charges later or overquote to stay safe. Second, insist on genuine or OEM-equivalent parts. Grey-market components are common in the UAE, they often fail inside six months, and you end up paying for the same job twice. Third, ask about the warranty in writing. We provide a 90-day warranty on labour and up to a year on replacement parts, printed on the invoice before we leave.
When repair is not worth it. There is a point where fixing an old appliance stops making sense. Our rule of thumb, the same one used by most reputable technicians, is this: if the repair quote comes to more than half the price of a new equivalent unit, and the appliance is already past its typical service life, replacement is usually the smarter call. Washing machines and dishwashers typically last 8 to 12 years, fridges 12 to 15, and cooking ranges 15 to 20 with proper maintenance. If the unit is within these ranges and the fault is a straightforward part swap, repair is almost always the better call.
We will tell you honestly which side of that line your appliance sits on. We have turned down repair jobs before because we did not think it was fair to charge the customer, and that reputation is why people keep calling us back when they buy the replacement and want it installed properly.
