“Fantastic service from TAR. Engineer arrived on time, diagnosed the fault quickly and had my washing machine running again within the hour. Clear pricing, no hidden extras and very polite throughout. I was kept updated from booking to completion. Highly recommend TAR for anyone needing a reliable appliance repair. Dave even helped to look at my oven at no cost. His advice was very helpful. I will be using them next for my oven repair.”
