Sterling Downs Appliance Repair

When a refrigerator stops cooling or a dryer tumbles without heat, most Redwood City households would rather have the machine they own fixed than haul it away. Sterling Downs Appliance Repair, owned by Francisco Chocano, is listed at 1157 Adams Street, a residential block in the 94061 zip code on the south side of Redwood City. This page was built from public business records and directory listings and still awaits the owner's confirmation. One detail matters before you call: the number on file here is 650-325-3090, while directory listings show 650-364-8294 at the same street address, so confirm the phone and the address before arranging a visit.

The repairs a shop like this usually takes on

An appliance repair business of this kind usually works on refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, dishwashers, ranges and ovens. Listings for Sterling Downs also mention refrigeration, heaters and air conditioning, which fits a technician who handles sealed cooling systems as well as motors, pumps and controls. A typical job starts with a diagnosis, then an estimate, then either a repair on the spot or a second trip once a part arrives.

Older, simpler machines are often the ones most worth fixing, because a new thermostat, door gasket or relay costs far less than replacing the appliance. A good technician will also say plainly when a repair no longer makes sense.

Setting up a service call

Before you phone, copy the brand, model and serial number from the tag inside the door or on the back panel, and describe the symptom in plain words: noise, leak, error code, no power. Ask what the diagnostic fee is and whether it is credited toward the repair. California asks appliance repair dealers to register with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, so ask for the registration number. Get the estimate in writing, ask how long the parts and labour warranty runs, and clear a path to the machine so the visit goes quickly.

Neighbourhoods on the route

The usual radius for a small repair business here covers the rest of Redwood City and Emerald Hills, with Atherton, Woodside, San Carlos, Belmont, Menlo Park and East Palo Alto a short drive away. All of it sits in the middle of San Mateo County, between Highway 101 and Interstate 280.
