After 21 years of service calls across San Diego County, I can tell you exactly what kills appliances here: hard water pushing 230 PPM from the Colorado River and salt air hitting coastal neighborhoods like Pacific Beach and Point Loma. I'm Anastas, and our team at Steve's Appliance Service has completed over 10,000 repairs across the county since 2004. Same-day appointments are available, and most mornings we can be at your door within a few hours.

Why Steve's Appliance Service

Same-Day Service, Most Days

When your dishwasher quits on a Monday morning, waiting a week isn't an option. Steve's Appliance Service offers same-day appointments across San Diego County. Book early — (619) 772-7213 — and our team will aim to be at your door that same day.

90-Day Parts and Labor Warranty

Every repair comes with a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Steve's Appliance Service stands behind the work: if the same problem comes back within 90 days, we return and fix it at no extra charge. That's what a guarantee actually means.

Fully Insured and BBB A+ Rated

We're fully insured and bonded. Steve's Appliance Service has maintained a BBB A+ rating across San Diego County since 2004. You're letting someone into your home — that deserves accountability, and our credentials back it up.

Upfront Pricing, No Surprises

We charge a $70 service-call fee — and we waive it if you move forward with the repair. Before any work begins, you'll get a firm price. Steve's Appliance Service doesn't pad invoices or add fees after the fact.

21 Years, Over 10,000 Repairs

Anastas started Steve's Appliance Service in 2004 and has built one of San Diego County's most experienced appliance teams. Steve's Appliance Service has served San Diego County homeowners for 21 years since 2004 — long enough to have seen nearly every failure mode before.

Meet the Owner

I started Steve's Appliance Service in 2004 after years working for a regional chain where the goal was always to upsell, never to actually fix things right. That never sat well with me. One of my first solo jobs was a KitchenAid mixer in North Park that a chain tech had quoted for full replacement. Took me forty minutes to replace the gear assembly — the homeowner saved over two hundred dollars. That's still how I run things. Our shop is based in Carmel Valley, and I handle every hire personally. When you call, you're not getting a call center or a rotating roster of strangers. You're getting our team — people I've trained, people I trust.

Real Repairs Across Carmel Valley County

Every fix names a neighborhood, a brand, and the actual outcome.

Hillcrest, San Diego · Bosch

Hillcrest Dishwasher Leak Traced to Corroded Pump

Problem: A Hillcrest homeowner called about a Bosch dishwasher leaking onto hardwood floors every cycle.

Diagnosis: Salt air and coastal humidity had corroded the pump housing seal — common in San Diego coastal neighborhoods. The pump mount had also stress-cracked from repeated moisture exposure.

Resolution: We replaced the pump housing, inlet seal, and door gasket; all parts were on the truck.

Steve's Appliance Service wrapped the job in under two hours, backed by our 90-day warranty.

Aviara, Carlsbad · LG

Aviara Washer Vibrating Off Its Feet

Problem: An Aviara homeowner called about an LG washer shaking violently and walking across the laundry room.

Diagnosis: Carlsbad's 245 PPM hard water had built up in the drum bearings, throwing the spin balance off. The shock absorbers had also worn from the repeated imbalance.

Resolution: We replaced both shock absorbers and cleaned the drum bearing race, then ran three test cycles.

Machine runs smooth; Steve's Appliance Service finished the job same day under our 90-day warranty.

Downtown Escondido, Escondido · GE

Downtown Escondido Oven Failing to Hold Temperature

Problem: A Downtown Escondido customer called about a GE oven that couldn't hold temperature above 300°F.

Diagnosis: Escondido's inland heat — summer highs near 112°F — had burned out the bake element and degraded the control board. Wide temperature swings accelerate these failures in inland homes.

Resolution: We replaced the bake element and temperature control thermostat; both parts were stocked on the van.

Oven back to full function in 90 minutes, covered by a 90-day parts and labor warranty.
