Solar Electric Repairs (1981) Ltd

Although the place doesn't look much from the outside.They do a great job my generator packed in on me at the worst possible time. I thought it was toast. Turned out to be bushings which they replaced and got me back up and running great job and reasonable price

I had my Bosch sander I use every day break down yesterday. I use it for work. They said it would be a week. Realizing I was in a bind phoned me an hour later saying it was fixed. I have been using this company for at least 30 years. Always great service!

I dropped my air compressor (it was seized up) there approx 1 month ago. I was advised it would be approx 3 months before they could look at it as they were incredibly busy (proven by the number of engines and tools of all makes laying about). One month later it was repaired and ready to go for $60. I was very impressed with the service, price and quickness of the repair. Highly recommend Solar Electric Repairs.

For a service center that's dependent on part suppliers, they are as fast as can be. Most negative comments are from people wanting parts to appear out of thin air, expecting a service that simply doesn't exist. As one of the last companies to offer free estimates and fair prices without pressure sales at all and the very last warranty repair center for almost all brands on this island providing service for the entire island, kudos.

I have a rigid tablesaw that needed repairing under warranty. Dropped it off as per instructions. Solar had no room inside to they were temporarily storing my saw outside while they shuffled things around. This is February. July I get a call my saw is fixed. When my saw was returned it was lacking all the parts needed to actually use it. After contacting Solar I was told they couldn't locate parts and I was on my own. I contacted ridgid and got the replacement parts myself. I put the blade in the saw, go to rotate it to make sure it worked and found it Solar DID NOT FIX my saw. 400+ km each way to drop off Andrew pick up (over 1600km total) and they gave me back my saw without doing any work to it.They chipped the enamel on the side tables, lost my fence, miter gauge, wrenches, safety guard, riving knife and gave me back a broken unusable saw

I recently had a table saw motor repaired here, which no one else on the Island would do for me. I was very impressed. The shop looks chaotic, and the repair took a long time, but don't let that put you off.

friendly knowledgeable staff providing great maintenance services

Beware!!! Unless your a big business with lots of work for them forget about any service what so ever. Brought in a simple gas trimmer July 2, was told they were 3 weeks behind, like last time. Waited 6 weeks then called. They couldn’t find it. When they did, it was behind him on the counter and he forgot about it and would have a look at it. Ok, I’ll be patient and said no problem. Phoned back late the next day and he forgot again. He then phoned me the following day saying he looked at it and it needs a couple things that he’d have to order in and it would be another 2 weeks. This is so unacceptable. I took the non working trimmer home. If rather throw it out then give them my business. If you choose them because you have no choice, all I can say is keep on their backs and hold them to time frames.

You need a part or whole machine he has secondhand refurbished machines for sale this man can fix anything he is the Yoda of small and large tools at a glance he can tell you what you need it's surprising when you look at his old sign out front because inside he's a master don't judge a book by its cover this man will solve your tool problem

I've never left a review for any company yet but my experience was bad enough that I feel compelled to leave a review.My drill was there for a warrenty they said would take 2 weeks..... After 2 months I had to call Milwaukee directly to get parts for solar electric because they were too lazy to do the leg work. Three and a half months late,r they still can get it fixed because they dont know how to fix it. I took my drill back and will be going through Milwaukee directly (Milwaukee is super helpful BTW and took care of the issue instantly. My drill is being fixed in Vancouver at no cost to me and within the week). Solar electric employee's don't seem to care about their customers or providing quality service. All they seem to care about is getting paid. Won't be going back.
