★★★★★Maureen Galindoa month agovia Google

We have always found it difficult to find a good company for our refrigeration repair. This week we called Sam's Repair and he was great. He gave us a same-day appointment and showed up promptly. He was able to find the problem in short order and fix it. My husband was very pleased with the service. We would definitely recommend this company and plan to use them again for any future repairs. Thank you from La Fonda de San Mateo
