I have used Fredericks twice and am pleased with their work.

When you watch them do the job and get the bill you say I could have done that but then you would have had to order the part and figure out how to take the machine apart and put the new one in and hope you aligned everything properly. If anything went wrong you were off on another trip to get another part if you could figure out which one you needed.

Back in the day that is what I did. Took a day off of work so that I could be sure the plumbing or appliance part store was open and busted my butt doing the work.

Now I pay the guy and watch. Unless he gets there when I have a tee time. Then the wife gets to watch.
