Repair in a county of salt air, redwoods and old houses
Santa Cruz County is not one kind of place. Homes near the ocean in Capitola, Pleasure Point and Seacliff live with salt air, which is hard on metal parts and control boards. Homes in the San Lorenzo Valley, from Felton to Boulder Creek, sit under redwoods on narrow mountain roads, and storm power outages are common there. Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley have many large family households, where the washer and dryer run every day.
We write each town page for the problems that town actually has. We do not paste the same paragraph twelve times.

Questions
What should I have ready before I contact you?
The appliance type and brand, the model number, what it is doing, when it started, and any error code on the display. The model number is usually on a label inside the door frame, on the back, or inside the unit.
How much does appliance repair cost in Santa Cruz?
Our diagnostic visit is $99. Local repair pages quote common repairs of about $150 to $300. These are ranges quoted by Santa Cruz appliance repair pages, November 2026. Your quote depends on the diagnosis.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not use switches, phones or flames inside.
Is it worth repairing my old appliance?
Compare the repair price with the cost of a new unit and the age of the old one. We give you the repair price after the diagnosis, so you can decide before any work starts.
