Yeah friendly help. Though a big negative THEIR REDUCED DAYS / HOURS. THEY ARE CLOSED at least WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. Maybe more . But they sell to general public while many others dont, only to licensed techs. They give friendly advice. Capacitors for instance are very easy to install and they sell them to anyone.
The gentlemen who helped walk me through the whole process of installing a fan was a savior. Thank you sir for the education in AC install and repair as well as finding the right parts I needed for the job.
Friendly staff, quick checkout.This store is different from most HVAC supply houses in that they will sell to the general public. They may not be the only one in San Antonio but it is the first I found after calling at least six places. These will only sell only to contractors, even for items that most DIYers can easily and safely replace themselves. If it werent for A-1, I would have to order from Amazon or another online store.
I called looking for a part and received the best service I’ve ever had. I wish I could give 6 stars.
Always has the parts that I need... A hole in the wall kinda place with great prices and a friendly staff.... Thanks Danny!
Ive been to this place twice. Once for a washing machine part and the other for a dishwasher part. They had the washing machine part in stock and I was on my merry way. The dishwasher part had to be ordered and they got it the same day!! Again, on my merry way. If you have an issue with an appliance and know what part you need (if not, YouTube it), these folks should be your go-to. Shop local, folks.
Great customer service and friendly staff.
Truly reliable! I have purchased parts from A1 on a couple of occasions and every time the service has been second to none. Anyone can sell you parts, whats special about this place is the knowledge and expertise they offer. Most recently I dealt with Danny and he explained everything I needed to know to repair my condenser unit all on my own. Saved me a fortune! Definitely recommend this place.
Danny is super friendly and very helpful
No one else seems to sell to the public only contractors. Went in looking for a new motor and they were very helpful even told me how to connect it all. The pin and fan were so rusted shut I had to damage the fan to take it off the motor. I called them to get another blade but could not wait another day to receive it so I drove around and called a few working guys knowing they would have old parts in the back of the truck. Met one down the road and 20 bucks later was in business.I highly recommend this place.
Expertise and HONESTY! thank you for having the part we needed at a very reasonable value price and savings us hundreds of dollars on a possible appliance replacement. yall saved us and we are VERY thankful!
Been going with them for 30 years they have always service me well with products advice and low prices they out beat the corporate franchise companies by a long shot
Fantastic, reliable and honest!Blower Fan when out in out home A/C..Couldnt wait till repair tech came (7 to 10 days)Decided to fix a/C myself..With their help and knowledge..My a/C is now running like a champ!!
I went in after an AC company quoted me almost $1,200 for a fan motor and fan replacement. Went in and Danny had the motor in stock and was able to get the fan within two hours. Spending $300 and doing the work myself for a beginner with the advice and knowledge they helped me with at the store. Definitely will be going to them when I need AC items again.
After diagnosing the issue on my broken dryer I started my search for a new timer which I thought would be hard to find. Not for the kind folks at A-1 Reliable Parts! I stopped in to order the part on Saturday and have the new part in my hand on Monday. The owner was kind and courteous when I visited the store and was able to help me find exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for appliance parts I highly recommend the people at A-1!!!
The parts department are real professionals they will give you instructions on how what you are buying will fit your Appliance,AC..etc.
My dryer stopped heating and laundry started piling up fast. After plenty of Youtube, I spoke with Daniel here. He was incredibly helpful. He went out of his way to check their parts inventory. He remembered me when I came in the door and was ready to help. He even offered to test my heating element. Within three hours of calling them, my dryer was fixed. For $30. I’m so grateful this place was here. Although I hope my appliances don’t break anytime soon, I will certainly be back if needed.
I have been going to A1 Reliable parts for about 6 years. Danny is an awesome individual who is very knowledgeable in his trade. He is very helpful in explaining down to the very details that you need to know about your project in what to expect. He is very witty and sincere in his approach. To sum it up he is a outstanding business man. PS. he even gives discounts on his already below market prices!!! ;-)
Great business man is professional, friendly, and knew his parts. I really thought i was going to just be overwhelmed with these items yet this helpful, patient & cheerful gentlemen was pretty cool about everything. Id gladly refer family & friends here anytime. Definitely good experience with my diys problem....FIXED!!✊😃💝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These guys have saved my bacon twice. The first time was a start capacitor for my compressor unit, the 2nd was a blower motor replacement. Both times all it took was a call and they took their time to make sure I had exactly what I needed. It was an emergency both times as well (e.e. in San Antonio that means any time between May and October). Awesome prices and the staff goes over how to do the installs with you before you leave. I dont ever plan on going anywhere else. If you are capable of doing the repairs yourself, you cant go wrong with these guys!
Good Experience overall. Danny really knows his stuff. Very friendly.
I had never shopped here. Our microwaves thermal fuse went out 2 days before thanksgiving. Found them online. Ordered part over phone, they charged me 30 dollars. I had to pick up part day before the holiday. Never once did they tell me that you can’t return part of it is bad. I get home and my spouse gets ready to put in and part is bad. Called day after holiday and they won’t take it back. I called GE and bought part for 7 dollars with 30 day warranty. Will never use this place again. They need to learn to let customers know over phone or even when they come in. They don’t even deserve 1 Star.Cari
Excellent place. The employees are very helpful.
At the parts I needed good information
I needed an ac part. Online they can be bought for as little as $5. Walked in asked for the part, they did have it...$42...seriously???I had bought a similar part at Johnston supply before. So I drove there and bought 3 for less then that ($36 to be exact!)I understand mark up. They have to buy the parts and sit on it until someone comes in to buy it. I will also give them the fact that their part might be better quality. Johnston had a heavy Duty version for $22. Thats still $20 cheaper. I opted for the $11 part and bought a back up for each unit.I know having a brick and mortar building has more expense, but charging that much is just a rip-off. Sorry but true.
Very very helpful very welcoming and very very professional.
Awesome service and prices, Danny your awesome great customer service
Wow, fantastic place, recommended by Sears to me for a part needed for my refrigerator and the salesman told me about a three way part that I can replace three separate parts. He stayed a little late so I could get the part and install it. Saved a bunch of steaks and deer meat. Thanks
I needed a washing machine part and they were able to order it and have it the next day. It cost twice the price over an online store but I was able to get it quicker, verify it was the correct part and get advice from the helpful and friendly staff. I highly recommend this business!
Quick service. Friendly and knowledgeable guys at the desk.
Honest people! Great price.
Excellent Customer Service very willing to help and explain any questions, they did not have my part but Danny ordered it for me will get it in 2-3 business days. Well Worth the wait. Thank you again,
Danny was super nice when we walked in to make a purchase ... perfect setup for the shotty parts he sold me I told him the belt for the dryer he sold me was either old or defective cause it basically flaked and shredded apart he tells me then it was the pulley well surprise dude i bought the pulley from him also .... sooo beware the nice smile and friendly sales guy is definitely not about standing behind his so called good customer service... do your research i told my uncle and he also had a bad experience here as well with a fan that was sold to him defective .... please people beware !!
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Called over the phone and Daniel was patient while answering my questions. I will definitely go back to them.
I was looking for a part for my refrigerator and could not find it anywhere everyone told me “i can get it in 7 to 10 days”, I call in the morning and had the part by noon and even got some recommendation on what I could do next time. Great customer service, good advice and fast service, definitely coming back and recommending.
Very helpful, asked questions about use and provided information on wiring, will go again when needed.
Professional and personal.
Good customer service but 3tomes buying same part. After 2nd time I told them Jose kept leaking and asked if I can get a new hose if it leaked again and was told they didn’t guarantee their products and was no warrantyIf this hose leaks again ... will not be visitong this business again
I was looking for a part that no one in town seemed to carry and was referred to A-1. I called A-1 Reliable and spoke to Danny. Danny was very helpful and as I was to discover very knowledgeable as well. Now this isnt one of those stories that ends with an exclaimation of This was the only place in town that had the part I needed! Thanks A-1! but Danny did help me understand that they did stock a part that was analogous in spec and provided me the part number so I could check for myself. After researching the original part specifications and the substitute I headed out to A-1 Reliable. Once I arrived the gnetleman at the counter retreived the part and took the time to explain to me how it would integrate in the existing furnace, which sections were superfluous and why. I left with a much clearer understanding of the parts function, how it connects to the system and more to the point how it would connect to the malfunctioning system.You may not find the manufacturers part number (at least for an old mobile home furnace) or even their official replacement but you will find a very knowledgeable and customer service oriented staff. Who knows, you may even find a part that will do what you need and leave with a better understanding of your system as well. Thanks A-1 Reliable!
Came in looking for a part for my washer. They Id it! Was not gift size though so if you DO NOT INSTALL merchandise they will refund the product s such in my case! They are also very knowledgeable!
Great Customer Service! They were extremely helpful in finding a part to fix my washing machine.
I needed a capacitor for my A/C on a Saturday and was almost positive no one selling to the pubic would be open. Not only was A-1 open, they were friendly, quick, and had what I needed at a great price. Ill definitely be back for all of my appliance needs.
Awsome customer service today from the gentleman at the counter. I will definitely be returning for any of my parts needed.
If I could rate lower than one star I would. Needed a part for a stove. I went in with the freaking owners manual. They couldnt figure out what a piece of glass was. Finally they found what should have been the right part. But it wasnt. Not Im stuck with 70 dollars worth of glass and no help to get a new one. Maybe someone knows what theyre doing there, but dont deal with the guy who says hes the owner. One word MORON.
No one answers the phone so i can’t see if they have what i need before driving all the way over there. I called 5 different times today (6.24.20) Hello???
Very helpful and knowledgeable about parts and were very accommodating even though I didnt have the model # of the dryer.
Danny is knowledgeable and friendly. Good people to do business with
Im not one to post reviews BUT, I was sent to this place by another, and when I arrived the man at the counter was completely RUDE. He Wouldnt Even Look At The heating element i was bringing in NOT asking what at fit. Horrible service !! Id never come back nor recommend this place... So very sad.I gave it one star because I couldnt give it a ZERO...
Friendly service and the correct part first trip...
Will definitely come again to support this great local business.
They ordered my part for my ac... had lots of patience ... helping me figure out what model number ect...
Was able to get part needed to fix ac. Since it was slightly different than the factory part, guy walked me through how to install.
Needed a part for my AC and they got it for me within an hour. Awesome customer service!
I looked all over town for a fan motor,one place told me to use a universal motor,but thanks to A1 having the exact motor i needed made it easier to replace with no HVAC experience,i saved money on labor. The guy even showed me how to remove the fan.Thanks A-1!
Overpriced and part was bad and he would not exchange part. Bad customer service and does not stand behind product. Save your money and time and go down the street to a owner who stands behind his produce.BAD SELLER BEWARE!!!!
Great and friendly service...
Just what I needed for my dryer repair, quality parts and excellent customer service, highly recommend! 👍
Help solve problems with my gas dryer went out of their way to help me I appreciate that
Called and had staff find part. They were quick and knowledgeable and had me taken care of in minutes.
Charlie is so polite and helpful ! Amazing store !!..strongly recommend
Had the part we needed after looking all over SA. Quick and easy.
Great customer service. Got me an out of stock part by the afternoon. Ill be back.
Tons of parts - in stock- and really helpful folks.
After searching around the NE side for three hours I finally went to the best rated one on here, and problem solved. Showed the guy the part, thermal fuse for a dryer, and told him the brand and I was on my way. More expensive than online, but once you tack on shipping Im sure it would be about the same.
Wonderful customer service and knowledgeable staff!!
Not very friendly and price was different when I called than when arrived to location.
Spoke to someone right now had a very poor attitude towards me and was getting frustrated with my question I was asking
Great and knowledgeable personnel.
Because when you need it there if not they will get it for you the next day
Very helpful and friendly
Fantastic service, with a smile!
