How a visit works

Every job starts with the diagnostic. $145 diagnostic — includes pickup from your address and return delivery. It is credited in full toward the repair when you approve the estimate. You get a written diagnosis — what failed, what it costs to fix, and whether the repair is worth it against the machine's age and market value. If the honest answer is "replace it", that is what the paper says.

Most diagnostics take 45–90 minutes. Common parts ride on the truck; anything ordered comes with a date, not a shrug.

Why coffee only

A general appliance tech sees an espresso machine twice a year and guesses. Twelve-plus years on coffee equipment means the failure patterns are familiar before the panels come off — which gaskets flatten at year three, which boards drop when the voltage sags, which "broken" machines are a settings reset. That is the whole difference: pattern recognition you only get from volume on one category of machine. Espresso machines and coffee brewers are what we do — 49 brands, six service lines, 25 cities.
