The question comes up on almost every call with an older machine, and it deserves facts rather than a sales pitch. Each guide below covers one of the six machines we repair: how long it tends to last, which failures are worth fixing, which ones signal the end, and what local conditions change the math, from hard well water in Shoreview to garage freezers in January. None of them gives you a price formula, because the right answer depends on what the technician actually finds. That is where the $89 diagnosis comes in: approve the repair and it is counted inside the written price, or replace the machine and it is the only thing you paid us. If the verdict is repair and you are new to Agate, that job can run as much as $15 lower, with the amount set by its size and written into the quote, though the diagnosis still costs $89.
