Berkley Appliance

Berkley Appliance has served Oakland County since 1976, building a reputation across 193 reviews that earned a 4.5-star rating. Based in Royal Oak, this in-home appliance repair specialist dispatches fully stocked service vans throughout Berkley, Hazel Park, Ferndale, Troy, Birmingham, and surrounding communities. Their service fleet carries thousands of parts, enabling same-visit repairs on most common household appliances including refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, and disposals.

What distinguishes Berkley Appliance is their parts inventory. The business maintains one of the largest parts departments in the area, with inventory both on-site and in their warehouse, plus special-order capability for less common components. Their dryer vent cleaning service addresses a frequently overlooked fire hazard, as lint accumulation occurs gradually even when users clean the filter after every load. The company explicitly does not work with home warranty companies, focusing instead on direct-to-consumer service with payment accepted via cash, check, or credit card (with a 3% processing fee on cards).

Reviewers consistently mention staff members by name. Jim at the front desk helped one customer find a part for an older refrigerator. Another reviewer described a technician who disassembled an oven door to clean the interior glass, picking up the component, repairing it at the shop, and returning it looking new. A long-term customer noted the team spends time educating customers on both why repairs are needed and how to prevent future issues, combining this guidance with prompt service and reasonable pricing.
