Most appliance repair calls in Naples start the same way: you walk into the kitchen at 6 a.m., notice the fridge is silent, and your stomach drops. Then you pull up Google and start dialing. Half the numbers route to a national call center in Phoenix. The other half ring forever. By the third try, you're hoping for a human voice and an actual answer.
We built AllFix to be that voice. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you call to the moment your appliance is fixed — no fluff, no surprises.
The First Phone Call: A Real Human, Three Questions, No Upsell
When you dial (239) 544-4666, a person picks up. Not an answering service. Not a bot that asks you to "press 1 for refrigerator." A technician or dispatcher who actually knows what a Sub-Zero compressor sounds like when it's dying.
We ask three questions:
- What's the appliance — brand, approximate age, model if you have it?
- What is it doing (or not doing)?
- What's your zip code?
That's the whole intake. We don't push extended warranties, maintenance plans, or "diagnostic packages." If your problem sounds like a five-minute fix you can do yourself — a tripped breaker, an ice maker switch left off, a dishwasher door not fully latched — we'll tell you that on the phone and save you the service fee. We've talked at least a dozen Pelican Bay homeowners out of a call this year because the answer was "check the GFCI behind the coffee maker."
Booking the Visit: A 2-Hour Window, Not 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The "we'll be there sometime between 8 and 5" model is lazy. You shouldn't have to burn a whole day waiting for a tech. We book in two-hour arrival windows — 8 to 10, 10 to 12, 12 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 6.
For most Naples and Marco Island calls placed before noon, we can be at your door the same day. Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Thermador emergencies in Port Royal, Mediterra, or Quail West get priority routing because we know what's at stake when a built-in column refrigerator full of food fails on a Friday afternoon in May.
The Tech Calls En Route — 30 Minutes Out
Thirty minutes before arrival, your assigned technician calls or texts. You'll know their name, see their photo, and have a direct number if you need to reach them. No surprise knock at the door.
If traffic on Pine Ridge or US-41 is going to push the window, you hear about it before the window closes — not 20 minutes after.
The Arrival: Uniform, Shoe Covers, Introduction
Our techs roll up in a marked AllFix van, in an AllFix uniform, with an ID badge. Before stepping past the foyer, shoe covers go on. We don't care if your floors are travertine in Port Royal or porcelain in Naples Park — they stay clean.
The tech introduces themselves, asks where the appliance is, and listens to your version of the problem before touching anything. The story you tell us — "it started clicking three days ago and then stopped cooling Tuesday morning" — is often more useful than the diagnostic itself.
The Diagnosis in Plain Language
This is the part most repair companies get wrong. You don't need to hear "the inverter module is reading out-of-spec voltage on the secondary winding." You need to hear:
> "The board that runs your compressor failed. That's why nothing is cooling. The compressor itself is fine. The part is $280, the labor is $180, and I can have it running in about an hour."
That's how we explain things. If it helps, we'll show you the failed part, the burnt connector, the iced-over evaporator coil — whatever the actual problem is. You should leave the diagnosis knowing exactly what failed, why it failed, and what fixes it. If you want to look up the part number on your phone and Google the price, we'll wait. We have nothing to hide on parts margin.
The Honest Written Estimate — No Hidden Fees
Before any wrench turns, you get a written estimate. On paper or by email, your choice. It shows:
- The diagnostic fee (which gets applied to the repair if you go ahead)
- The part cost
- The labor cost
- Tax
- The total
No "environmental fees." No "trip surcharge." No "shop supply fee" tacked on at the end. If we have to come back because a part needs to be ordered, there is no second trip charge. That's already covered in the original labor.
If you decide not to proceed with the repair, you pay the diagnostic fee and that's it. We don't pressure. About 1 in 8 customers chooses to replace instead of repair after we lay out the math, and that's fine — sometimes replacement really is the right call.
The Repair: Most Done Same Visit
Our vans carry the parts that fail most often: compressor start relays, evaporator fan motors, ice maker assemblies, dishwasher drain pumps, dryer belts and idlers, oven igniters for Wolf and Thermador, control boards for the most common Sub-Zero and Liebherr models.
Roughly 78% of our service calls are completed in a single visit. When a part has to be ordered — usually a Sub-Zero compressor, a Thermador sealed system component, or anything from a discontinued model — we tell you the lead time upfront. Most parts arrive in 2 to 5 business days.

Clean Work: No Greasy Mess Left Behind
When the repair is done, the floor in front of the appliance is cleaner than when we arrived. We carry vacuums, microfiber cloths, and a drop cloth for every job. Old parts go with us — your garage doesn't become our parts graveyard.
If we had to pull a built-in fridge out, the cabinetry is reset properly, the toe kick is back on, and the leveling feet are reset. Pulling a 700-pound Sub-Zero PRO 48 takes care, and we treat the surrounding millwork like it cost what it did — because in most Naples homes, it did.
Payment Options That Match How You Actually Pay
We accept:
- Online payment link (sent by text or email — pay from your phone)
- Credit card (in person or online)
- Check (yes, plenty of our snowbird customers still write them)
- Zelle transfer
- Cash
The 90-Day Warranty
Every repair carries a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. If the same problem comes back within 90 days, we return and fix it at no cost. No fine print, no "this only applies if the moon is full."
Manufacturer warranties on individual parts often run longer — a new Sub-Zero compressor carries a 5-year part warranty from the factory, for example — and we'll help you file under that if it ever applies.
After the Call: Follow-Up That Actually Happens
48 hours after the repair, you get a follow-up text from the tech who did the work. Not a survey link — a real "how's the fridge running?" We'd rather hear about a small lingering issue now than read about it in a Google review three weeks later.
Why We Do It This Way
Naples is small. Pelican Bay, Park Shore, Aqualane Shores — these are tight communities where one bad service call gets talked about at the next dinner party. We grew up understanding that reputation in Southwest Florida compounds faster than anywhere else we've worked. Treating every call like it's the one that might be talked about tomorrow isn't a strategy. It's the only way to still be in business in five years.
When we launched in Southwest Florida, we made a few promises out loud: real humans on the phone, real arrival windows, real pricing, real warranties. This is what those promises look like inside a single service call.
Ready When You Are
Call (239) 544-4666 and a real person will pick up. We serve Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the premium neighborhoods of Port Royal, Pelican Bay, Mediterra, Talis Park, Grey Oaks, and Quail West.
Most calls placed before noon get a same-day visit.
