Mark Wiseman is awesome. (206) 948-1060
Our refrigerator decided not to make any more cold air for the fridge part. The freezer was still freezing but we know it would likely go next. I looked up appliance repair via the Yelp map (98118) and initially spotted his brother Scott Wiseman. As it turns out, Scott only services West Seattle. Scott gave me Mark's number. It took us a few phone-tag-tries in about a 12-hour time frame to finally connect.
Mark asked specific questions over the phone such that he already knew what the issue probably would be. This was helpful as he could then also give us a price estimate. It was a reasonable amount, especially compared to the price of a brand new fridge. He came out and indeedeedoo: he was right on the money with the diagnosis and the price.
As others have said: a very capable and nice guy. He was personable and considerate: for example, we agreed on an appointment time and he called us with a 20-minute courtesy call that he'd soon be here. He was here right on time. This is helpful any day and especially early on a Saturday.
Not only did he fix the Maytag, but he also gave us tips on keeping it healthy. He also warned us of a part that might not work perfectly (the water feed to the automatic ice maker), told us to keep an eye on it, and call him if it went wonky. That was the only part where he was wrong: it DID too work perfectly.
