Appliance Repair Recommendation
by Kevin McDermott 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

I had a dishwasher that needed repaired so I called Perla's Appliance in Swissvale. They promptly scheduled a service call, arrived in the window they had promised and quickly diagnoised the problem and made the repair. I have purchased appliances from them in the past but never used their repair service, I will use it again now that I know they are so great at repairs too. They usually have the best price on all appliances too. Perla's Appliance Plus 1671 Monongahela Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15218 412-271-6650
