About Us

A Legacy of Trust and Excellence


For over 45 years, Pro Appliance Service has proudly served San Diego County, helping homeowners keep their appliances running smoothly. Founded by Carlos and Laura, our family-owned and operated business combines decades of industry expertise with a commitment to honesty and customer care.


At Pro Appliance Service, we don’t just fix appliances—we build relationships. Our goal is to provide every customer with the same quality service we would offer our own family.


Our History: A Family-Run Business with a Mission


Carlos and Laura started Pro Appliance Service with a simple belief: quality repairs and honest advice create loyal customers. After gaining hands-on experience in appliance repair, Carlos saw an opportunity to offer San Diego residents a dependable service rooted in transparency and professionalism.


From humble beginnings in a small Lakeside workshop, Pro Appliance Service has grown into a trusted name across the region. Today, we’re proud to specialize in both everyday appliances and high-end brands like Sub-Zero, Thermador, Kitchenaid built-ins, Viking and Dacor.

Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but staying true to our values of honesty, quality, and reliability has allowed us to thrive—and helped countless customers along the way.
