Richard's Appliance Service. Family owned and operated since 1987. Flat-rate, never hourly. If we repair it, there's no service charge.
One bench. One family. Since 1987.
Matt Lavender runs Richard's Appliance Service the way his family always has: come to your home, diagnose it honestly, and fix it for a flat rate. Ninety-five percent of the clientele comes back or sends a friend. That number is the whole business plan.
"Repairing is Recycling."
That's the motto on the wall, and the customers quote it back. When a machine can be saved, saving it beats replacing it. Every time.
