Customer Reviews

For a simple and pretty cheap unit, he did it for a very good rate

“The absolute best. I was in over a year ago with an old vacuum my parents had given me over a decade earlier. The older guy told me everything I needed to know, and offered to fix it on the spot while I waited… Amazing, all for a simple and pretty cheap unit, he did it for a very good rate plus he had all the bags and parts available, etc. Apparently, they do service for big operations, but they haven’t forgotten the little guy either. Will always remember that experience.” – Tom Harvey, Google Reviews

Very honest and can fix anything that can be fixed

“Have been going for years to this old school shop where the owners know pretty much everything there is to know about parts and repair, even on obscure and/or old appliances.  A friend brought his vacuum in for repair… the guy took a look at it, fixed it on the spot… You will not find more knowledgable people at York Appliance, or access to more discontinued and/or old parts, plus they’re also very honest and can fix anything that can be fixed.” – Marie S, Google Reviews

Great location, excellent service, knowledgeable staff

It was not only repaired but cleaned and serviced at no cost.  Bushes , belt was taken apart, checked, and serviced. I couldn’t ask for anything better. Even if I tried, I couldn’t find anything negative to say. Photo of what I came in for is shown. Great location, excellent service, knowledgeable staff, adequate convenient parking, and smiles and friendly conversation are free. Thanks Vacworks, you’re the best.” – Shazad Mohammed, Google Reviews
