“I nearly bought a new machine but decided to get a repair quote first. So glad I did — the pump replacement cost £95 and it's worked perfectly for 6 months since.”

“Machine was leaking and I was worried about the cost. The engineer diagnosed it as the door seal, gave me a fixed price before starting, and had the part in his van. Done and dusted in 45 minutes.”
