Appliance Repair Cost
Know Before You Pay
Don’t get overcharged. Use this checklist to understand fair pricing for ACs, Fridges, and Washing Machines in Mysuru & Bangalore.
Stop Overpaying for Repairs
Clarity Before Payment is key. When your fridge stops cooling or washing machine won’t drain, panic often leads to approving undefined bills.
In Mysuru and Bangalore, pricing varies by brand and fault. This guide protects you from hidden charges and “guesswork” billing.
Why This Checklist Matters
Buyers often assume all spare parts cost the same or that inspection is always free. This leads to disputes.
A Good Technician Will Provide:
- Clear distinction between Labour vs. Part cost.
- The choice between Original or Compatible parts.
- Return of your old/damaged parts.
The “Know Before You Pay” Checklist
Confirm these 6 points with your technician before work begins.
1. Inspection Charge
Ask if there is a visiting fee. Most pros charge ₹150-₹350 to diagnose the issue if you don’t proceed with repair.
2. Labour vs. Parts
Ensure the bill separates the cost of the spare part from the technician’s service fee. Don’t accept a lump sum.
3. Warranty Terms
Does the repair come with a warranty? Reputable services offer 30-90 days on service and 6 months on parts.
4. Part Quality
Ask: “Is this an Original (OEM) part or a Compatible one?” Compatible parts are cheaper but may last less.
5. Return Old Parts
Always ask for your old replaced parts back. This proves the part was actually changed.
6. Final Quote
Get the final amount confirmed before he opens the toolbox. No “I’ll tell you after fixing” surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do technicians refuse to give phone quotes?
Accurate pricing requires inspecting the machine. A “guess” over the phone is often misleading and changes once they arrive.
Is doorstep repair more expensive?
It includes a convenience fee (visiting charge) but saves you the risk and cost of transporting heavy appliances.
Should I always use Original Spare Parts?
For critical parts (Compressor, Motor, PCB), YES. For minor plastic parts or knobs, compatible ones are fine.
