Is your repair quote reasonable?
Compare a written quote with a broad planning range, then check what is included before you approve the job.
Repair quote sanity check
Compare a quote against the typical repair range before approving the job.
Typical
That quote is within the common repair range for a washing machine. Ask what part failed and whether another common failure is likely soon.
What a complete quote includes
Look for the diagnosis, part numbers, labor, trip or diagnostic fees, taxes, disposal, and the warranty on both parts and labor.
When to get another quote
A second quote is especially useful when the diagnosis is uncertain, the repair approaches half the replacement price, or several major components may be failing.
Compare like with like
Replacement totals can include delivery, installation, accessories, permits, haul-away, data transfer, or setup. Add those before comparing.
