Gilbert is an excellent communicator. He responds quickly and works with your schedule. He also explains in a very clear way what issues you are looking at and all the costs. He will advise the best way to go, even if it means replacement rather than repair. Honest, superior workmanship, he is excellent.

I highly recommend Gilbert and his family owned company! He responded to my call right away and was here when he said he would be. He diagnosed the problem with my washing machine and absolutely knew what he was doing! His lovely wife does all of the driving and it was an added bonus to meet her as well. Five stars to this amazing company! Call them for all your appliance repairs!

Such an amazing referral! From the time I called till my washer was back in excellent condition, it was a pleasure working with Gilbert and I'm happy to have a fully functioning washing machine again. He was responsive from the first call as well as professional yet easy to converse with. Gilbert came out to assess the problem, gave me an estimate and then kept me updated on when the parts came in so he could set up an appointment. In fact, one of the parts was delayed so he actually made 2 trips here so I could at least use the machine till the other back-ordered part arrived. I appreciated

I found this business on Yelp a few months ago when I needed help with a leaking freezer. I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Gilbert scheduled my appt. in a timely fashion, and arrived when he said he would. He quickly determined the cause of the problem, and gave me a few options for repair, including a reasonably priced way that required a little work on my part. I chose the cheaper option, and it worked perfectly. I used this business again very recently when I needed help with an oven that wasn't working. Prior to the appt. Gilbert researched the likely issue for

I had called upon Gilbert 3 years ago when our clothes washer stopped working he did a great job and was very knowledgable and great price too! This past Saturday our dryer stopped working. I texted him and he called right away to setup a time. He came on Sunday and did a fantastic job! Great price too, I will recommend to any of my friends and neighbors who need a service

Yep. This is the place you need to call if you have an appliance that needs service.
I woke up to our refrigerator not being cold enough. Ugh. Panic sets in because you don't want to lose all the perishable food. And of course I had to go to work.
My MIL was home and able to get all the stuff into coolers with ice and we called Advantage... I mean we needed someone ASAP. This is not an appointment that can wait a couple days. Well, guess what they were able to fit us in!!! Yeah!!!
Gilbert came out and was so wonderful! He helped us take things out of the freezer and put them in our deep

Our dryer was no longer putting out heat and we called Advantage. Gilbert (the owner) came out the next day at the agreed time, calling ahead to coordinate. Super nice guy. I like to watch repairs like these so I can learn something. Gilbert showed me what he was doing, took extra time to vacuum out all the lint from inside the dryer and give me some tips on how to clean the vent pipe. He had the parts on hand and made the repair. Works great. Highly recommend this company.

Gilbert is the man!! and the only guy allowed to touch my appliances. We've been using him for years starting with my POS old washer and dryer I had at my old place as well as an old hunk a junk fridge. He's as honest as they come, if it ain't worth save'n he'll tell ya. If he can't do the repair or it's too complicated a fix he's also upfront about it. He's a one man band like my own personal company so I have way more respect for who he is and how he does his thing.... because it's basically my same situation just a different field.
Thanks Gil

Gilbert came out today to fix our refrigerator which was malfunctioning. Gilbert got the parts and made the repairs very quickly for a reasonable price. We'll be using Advantage Appliance Repair in the future.
I had also reached out to San Jose Appliance Repair and Appliance Repair Gurus at the same time, but never heard from either of those two firms.

100+ Stars for Gilbert and Advantage Appliance Repairs. Our coin operated washer broke and I called several places for repair. Some places didn't even bother calling back and some said they don't fix coin operated appliances and one place said they charge $99 just to show up.
Gilbert was the only one who took the time to understand what the problem was, he made several trips to the home, he researched and called around for parts (since the washing machine was very very old). Gilbert went ABOVE and BEYOND to get an old machine to work again ... and the final bill was totally reasonable

Need help with your appliances? Contact Advantage Appliance Repair and you won't be disappointed! This is a long overdue review and I am finally getting around to it. Back in 2012, my freezer decided to crap out, so I contacted Gilbert seeking for help. Gilbert and his father, Ray worked on my refrigerator and they were great to work with. They provided me with my options and were very upfront with the pricing. The job was completed in a very timely manner and the pricing was reasonable.
Two years later, my refrigerator crapped out again and due to my refrigerator not working, I panicked
