Appliance & Equipment Repair
This hub covers the technicians who keep household and commercial appliances running: washing machine and tumble dryer repair specialists, refrigerator and freezer technicians, TV and display repair shops, oven and hob repair techs, dishwasher specialists, and small appliance repair workshops that handle coffee machines, microwaves, and vacuum cleaners. Appliance repair quoting has a specific structure the customer expects to see. There is a diagnostic fee for the call-out and fault finding, parts at cost plus a mark-up of 20 to 30 percent, labour at an hourly or fixed per-repair rate, and a warranty period on the repair itself of typically 30 to 90 days.
For premium brands like Miele, Bosch, Samsung, LG, and AEG, parts can cost more than a new lower-end appliance, so the quote needs to lay out the options clearly: repair at this price with this warranty, or the customer walks away and the diagnostic fee is still due. Most independent techs quote verbally on the phone and get into disputes at invoice time when the customer thought the diagnostic was free or that the parts mark-up was not a thing. 5x to 2x premium that the customer should agree to in writing before the van rolls, and a call-out radius surcharge kicks in beyond a reasonable free-service zone.
QuoteGenio gives you a structured quote built on your phone from the customer's kitchen, with diagnostic fee, parts, labour, warranty terms, and any premiums listed as separate lines. The customer accepts online, the repair happens, and the accepted quote converts to an invoice with one tap so there is no double entry and no forgotten lines.

Why appliance repair techs use QuoteGenio
Appliance repair customers want honesty about the full cost before they commit. A quote that shows a $ 75 diagnostic fee, a $ 120 Samsung drain pump part at cost plus 25 percent, one hour of labour, and a 60-day warranty on the repair reads as professional and trustworthy. QuoteGenio lets you build that quote on your phone in the customer's kitchen in under three minutes. The diagnostic fee sits as its own line and is non-refundable if the customer declines the repair, which is stated as a quote note so the customer agrees to the policy when they accept.
Parts are itemised with brand, part number, and cost plus mark-up shown either openly or bundled into a supply price, depending on your preference. Labour is quoted at an hourly rate or at a fixed repair rate for common jobs like a Bosch dishwasher pump swap or a Miele washing machine brush replacement. The warranty on the repair is listed as a quote note, typically 30 days on labour and 90 days on parts, which protects you from call-backs six months later on unrelated faults. 5x or 2x the standard rate, accepted in writing when the customer accepts the quote.
Call-out radius surcharges beyond a 15 or 20 kilometre free zone sit on their own line at a per-kilometre rate. Accepted quotes become invoices with one tap the moment the appliance is back in service, with every line carried across cleanly so the customer pays the agreed amount without argument.
FAQ
Common questions
Everything Appliance & Equipment Repair businesses ask before getting started.
Yes. List a diagnostic or call-out fee at $ 75 to $ 150 depending on your area and appliance complexity. State in the quote that it is non-refundable if the customer declines the repair, and that it can be credited against the repair cost if they go ahead. This protects your time on customers who refuse the quote after you have already diagnosed the fault.
Standard trade practice is cost plus 20 to 30 percent on parts, which covers your procurement time, warranty exposure, and van inventory cost. On premium brands like Miele, Bosch, and Samsung where genuine parts are expensive, you can choose to itemise the part cost and mark-up separately, or bundle them into a supply price with your warranty listed alongside.
Most independent techs offer 30 days on labour and 90 days on the specific part replaced, which is fair and matches what chain repair shops offer. List the warranty terms in the quote notes so the customer accepts them in writing. This stops call-backs six months later on unrelated faults where the customer expects a free fix.
After-hours weekday call-outs are typically priced at 1.5x the standard hourly rate, and weekend or public holiday call-outs at 2x. Add the premium as a separate line on the quote so the customer agrees to the rate in writing before you roll the van. This stops arguments about emergency fees at invoice time.
Most techs offer free travel within 15 to 20 kilometres of home base, then charge a per-kilometre rate or a flat zone fee beyond that. List the surcharge as its own line on the quote so the customer understands the charge. This protects you on the 40 kilometre drive that would otherwise eat the profit on a short repair.
Yes. Posted diagnostic fee on every call-out, separate from the repair labour line. Customers comparing repair quotes look at the diagnostic line first; without yours visible, customers think call-out covers the diagnosis and dispute the repair cost when it arrives.
