Customer Feedback:
Golden Gate Appliance Repair
“Our stove broke and they arrived within a few hours to fix it! They got it working but needed a part to put it in tip top shape. They did not charge us a dime until the part came in and they were able to come back and complete the service call. They are wonderful people!”

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”

Customer Feedback:
Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning
“I’ve had great service with them. They installed a brand new furnace for me, and when it came time to change the filter they came out and showed me how. They were such nice guys! They came when they said they would, and took as long as they said they would take. Everything was great.“
