What we repair in Austinmer, and what we don't

Wollongong Service Company repairs household appliances and nothing else: washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, ovens, cooktops, rangehoods and microwaves. Every major brand, repaired in your home in Austinmer.

We are not electricians, air conditioning technicians or plumbers. Wiring, power points and switchboards, split systems and ducted air conditioning, taps, drains and hot water, and commercial or heavy machinery are all outside what we do, so we cannot take those bookings.

Appliance repairs across Austinmer

Austinmer is the next village north of Thirroul: a patrolled surf beach, a small run of shops by the railway station, and streets that climb from the sand up toward the escarpment. The name comes from Austin, an early mine manager, with the French "mer" for sea added on, which tells you the place has been settled a long time. Its housing runs from original weatherboard cottages through to full renovations, and that spread is what fills our days here.

The faults that come with the housing

Renovated homes near the beach tend to have integrated kitchens, so the dishwasher and oven sit built in behind matching cabinetry. Those are the appliances owners least want to wrestle out and cart to a workshop, which is why we bring the diagnosis to your kitchen instead.

Down at cottage level the pattern is different. Plenty of Austinmer homes keep a second fridge in the garage or under the house for drinks and the overflow from a big weekend. A few streets back from the water, the condenser coils on those older fridges are usually the first thing to go, coated in salt and dust until the fridge runs flat out and still cannot hold temperature. Pull it out once a year and vacuum the coils and you buy yourself years.

Salt near the coast is real, but it is not mysterious. It corrodes exposed steel and copper faster than it would inland, and the fix is always the same: catch the fault early and replace the part before it takes something bigger with it.

Villages we work in nearby

Lawrence Hargrave Drive is our regular beat, and Thirroul and Coledale sit on it either side of you, with Clifton a little further north. If a technician is already on the northern beaches, we can often reach you the same day.

Fee and booking

The assessment fee in Austinmer is $125, fixed. A technician finds the fault and quotes the repair before touching anything, so you can weigh a repair against a new machine on the actual figures rather than a guess. Every repair is covered by our warranty.

Ring 02 4229 3777 if you would rather talk the fault through first, or book online and we will ring you back with a time.

Appliance repair questions from Austinmer

Does salt air shorten the life of appliances in Austinmer?

It can. Homes close to the beach see corrosion on exposed steel and copper sooner than inland suburbs, and it usually shows on fridge condenser coils and connections first. Wiping down the back of a garage fridge and vacuuming the coils once a year slows it down. If a part has already gone, we replace it on the day where we can.

Can you fix a built-in dishwasher in an Austinmer renovation without removing it?

Usually yes. We diagnose and repair integrated dishwashers and ovens in place, so the cabinetry stays untouched. Pump, door seal and control faults are common, and the repair is quoted before any work begins. The assessment fee is $125.

Do you service the holiday rentals around Austinmer?

Yes, and we work with owners and agents on access and quotes. A rental that sits empty between bookings can hide a fridge or washer fault until the next guests arrive. Ring on the day you notice it, and same-day is often possible when a technician is already on the northern beaches.

What does a technician check first when a fridge in Austinmer stops cooling?

The technician checks the condenser coils, the fan, the door seal and the thermostat in that order. On older garage fridges, dusty coils are the most common cause. Finding the fault is covered by the $125 assessment, and you receive a quote for the repair before any parts are ordered.

Doug Roberts

Very happy. I rang for service on Tuesday and a visit was arranged for the next day. The man texted me to say he was on the way and arrived soon after. He was able to tell me what he thought was the problem and an estimate of the cost if he were correct. He was right, had the necessary parts in his truck and fixed our machine straight away. Would recommend.

Anne Biswas

Very prompt service. Rang late the afternoon before and a technician was at my house the next morning. Problem fixed in no time. Definitely will use this service again.

Tony Koloski

Julie, Donna and the staff from Wollongong Service Company were so professional in helping and advising me of the options to repair a leaking hose in my dishwasher. They finished the job that was originally diagnosed by another party and actually changed all the hoses in my dishwasher for a little more than the price I was quoted to only change 1 hose by the original party (after paying that party a service call fee initially) and did not charge me any service call fee. I would highly recommend Wollongong Service Company to anyone in need of appliance repairs. Their tradesmen were very informative and friendly during the repair also. Thanks to all the staff at Wollongong Service Company, much appreciated.

Mark Terechovs

I was most impressed with the service. The service person turned up on time, with a text before hand. He was friendly, polite and most all respectful of my property taking the time to clean up. He also offered advice for future reference. Based on my experience I can highly recommend Wollongong Service Company.

Alida Anna Betags

My washing machine stopped working and I called Wollongong Service Company and they were able to send someone out within a couple of hours to have a look at it. Fortunately, it was a very quick and easy fix. Would recommend.

Frank Stephenson

Jan Riley

My local repairer could not come to my house for 2 weeks to look at my washing machine because they were fully booked out and so they said to contact Wollongong Service Company to see if they could look at my machine sooner. So I contacted this company and the very next day someone came out and found the problem with my machine. So a part had to be ordered and within a short period of time my machine was fixed. This company is excellent to deal with and the repairer (Jye) was so nice and respectful of my house. I will most certainly be calling this company again if I have any appliance problems in the future and I can't thank them enough for all of their help. I am so happy!
