There are a lot of choices to make when purchasing appliances and there are a number of retailers offering the same products ... with competitive prices.
My advice? Consider what happens after you make the purchase. Does the store offer servicing? What about extended warranties?
Does the business have a history in the area (and a reputation to uphold)?
My story :
Four years ago I purchased a refrigerator from ST&A along with an extended warranty. The manufacturer's warranty only lasted one year and since I had no experience with the brand i was a bit leery.
Good call.
After three years the refrigerator started to die. ST&A sent out repairmen about 5X ... each time one failed component would be replaced, another one would break down.
ST&A's Customer Relations Supervisor (Kelly C) was extremely helpful throughout the ordeal.
About the time I was ready to give up she called and arranged a replacement at no cost.
Thanks Kelly and Standard TV and Appliance!
