Honest diagnosis.
Fair repair.
No parts cannon. No pressure. No unnecessary repair. Marco's Appliance Repair troubleshoots the failure first, explains the repair clearly, and tells you when replacement makes more sense.

Every other claim on this page is ours. These aren't.
“Marco identified the problem efficiently and helped us determine the value of repair versus replacement of our appliance. He made the call over the holiday weekend which benefited our replacement efforts.”
“The time options were great, as was the communication, including clear information regarding the cost. Marco both listened and asked questions. He was able to diagnose the issue, complete the repair, and share how to avoid the problem in the future. 👍”
“The tech is extremely quick to respond. Come in a couple of hours even it was a Saturday. Diagnosed the problem very quickly. Great value and friendly.”

No guessing. No padded repair.
The incentive here is simple: earn your trust with an accurate diagnosis, not sell the biggest ticket possible.
We diagnose first.
Testing comes before parts. We work from the symptom to the failure so the quote is based on evidence, not a guess.
We explain the repair clearly.
You'll know what failed, what the repair requires, and what it will cost before moving forward.
We tell you when replacement is smarter.
If a repair approaches or exceeds the sensible value of the appliance, we'd rather tell you than sell you a bad repair.
We stand behind the work.
Completed repair labor is covered for 90 days. Replacement parts carry their applicable manufacturer warranty.
Small shop.
Straight answer.
Marco's Appliance Repair is built for homeowners and landlords who are tired of paying for guesses. The goal is to keep a repairable appliance running when it makes sense—and to be straightforward when it doesn't.
That means honest diagnosis, fair pricing, and no unnecessary parts.
Good questions deserve plain answers.
No fine-print maze. Here's how service works.

What does the $80 diagnostic fee cover?
It covers the service visit and diagnostic work needed to identify the appliance failure and determine the appropriate repair path.
How soon can you come out?
We try to offer same-day service when availability allows. Most service calls are Monday through Friday, with limited Saturday and Sunday availability. If we miss your call, leave a voicemail or send a text and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
What areas do you serve?
Marco's operates from Ames, Iowa and serves surrounding communities within about 15 miles, including Boone and Nevada. If you are just outside that area, text us and we will let you know whether we can make the trip.
Will you tell me if the appliance is not worth repairing?
Yes. If the repair is a poor financial decision compared with replacement, we will say so rather than push the repair.
Do you warranty repairs?
Repair labor is covered for 90 days. Parts are covered by the applicable manufacturer warranty.
Do you work on sealed-system refrigerator repairs?
Marco's does not perform sealed-system refrigeration repairs. We can help determine whether the symptom points toward a type of repair we service and advise on next steps.
Can landlords schedule service?
Yes. Marco's works with both homeowners and landlords. Include the appliance model, symptom, and service location when you contact us.
Tell us what the appliance is doing.
Send the appliance type, model number if you have it, and a quick description of the problem. The form prepares a text message on your phone—nothing is submitted to a third party.
