Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read In a 2025 Google review, a customer said Marc diagnosed a problem on a Maytag washer, knew right away what part was needed, and offered to change out a gasket he was afraid might already have a tear in it. That 2025 customer said there was a huge tear in the old gasket when it came off, and that Marc got the new one on, installed the pump and tested the washer. A 2025 customer said Marc ran a few different tests on a fridge that was not cooling properly, found a broken fan blade, and came back out to install the new part. A 2025 customer said Mark came over within an hour, fixed a stove igniter and found out why the oven door was making a noise and why the oven was shutting itself off. A 2023 customer said Marc came over the same day to diagnose a dryer that had stopped getting heat, and was back within 3 days to replace the heating coil and change the dryer exhaust vent. A 2026 customer said he came out the same day, fixed the washer and gave recommendations for upkeep. A recent customer gave one star, saying they were told $175 to come fix their washer and that he was very rude when they texted to get a quote and ask a few questions. In a 2023 review, a customer said Marc diagnosed the issue, told them to order parts and wanted $200 up front, then said on the day he was due back that he would not do the job, so they had to hire another person. A 2023 customer said the tech was there about 5-7 minutes and charged $160 for the visit, naming the motor or the control board; that 2023 customer later wrote that a professional found the washer's belt had come loose. A 2022 customer called an England pellet stove repair not satisfactory. **Strengths:** - Washer gasket and pump — a 2025 customer said Marc replaced both - Refrigerator diagnosis — a 2025 customer said tests found a broken fan blade - Same-day dryer visit — a 2023 customer said Marc diagnosed it that day **Concerns:** - A rude quote exchange — a recent customer said he was very rude by text - An unfinished job — a 2023 customer said Marc wanted $200 up front, then declined - A short washer visit — a 2023 customer said a $160 call missed a loose belt ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.6 stars on Google from 65 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Ma%20%26%20Pa%20Fix-It-All&query_place_id=ChIJP7cvRsgDskwRP7k4mPjxSu8) — “Google: 4.6★ from 65 ratings” - A 2025 customer said Marc found a torn gasket on a Maytag washer, replaced it, installed the pump and tested the washer _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25aMlRrcGFiM2RhVDFaWVNqZ3dlVUZmVms5bVgyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xef4af1f89838b93f!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnZ2Tkpab3daT1ZYSjgweUFfVk9mX2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ If there were ten or more stars....
