What Does Appliance Repair Cost in Tampa Bay? A 2025 Price Guide
Honest, itemized pricing for refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven, and dishwasher repairs across Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, and Wesley Chapel.
How appliance repair pricing works
Most reputable Tampa Bay shops use a flat-rate model: a diagnostic fee that's waived when you approve the repair, then a flat all-in price per job. Avoid anyone quoting time-and-materials — that's where surprise invoices come from.
Our diagnostic starts at $89 for most appliances and $99–$129 for built-ins, ice makers, wine coolers, and cooktops.

FAQ
When should I replace instead of repair?+
Rule of thumb: if the repair quote exceeds 50% of replacement cost and the appliance is past two-thirds of its expected lifespan, replace it. We'll tell you straight when that's the right call.
Do you charge extra for weekends?+
No. Same flat rate Monday through Saturday. We only book Sunday for true emergencies.
