Home and Home Appliance Repair and Improvements

What about appliance repairs?

You can best protect your rights by getting a written estimate. At least make sure you get an oral estimate before work begins, and find out how the repair shop will figure the total charge, including parts and labor. Also, tell the repair shop to get your approval before beginning work. It will then be able to give you a better idea of how much the repair will cost.
