Elite Appliance Repair—Reviving a Lost Art
All appliances fail. Sometimes before expected and always when it's terribly inconvenient. And if you have ever tried to find an appliance repair person in this era of disposable products, you may have felt hung out to dry.
Elite Aplliance Repair of Columbus is just a phone call away.
Mike Beecher and Paul Willemstein are two Columbus kids who never set out to start an appliance repair company. Now they can’t imagine doing anything else.
Why? “I wanted to work somewhere that every employee will give an honest recommendation for the best course of action to take with a broken appliance,” says Willemstein who resides in Westerville with his wife and two daughters.
Beecher echoes that thought. “We strive for fair and honest appliance repair services. If it’s not worth fixing, we will let you know.” Beecher grew up in Powell and Worthington before moving to Michigan as a teenager. He later moved back to Central Ohio and got a job answering phones for an appliance shop. “The owner asked if I wanted to become a technician, and I said absolutely,” Beecher recalls. “The next day I started training. I loved every minute of it.”
Beecher met Willemstein working for that shop, and the pair now has nearly 35 years combined experience in the industry. Beecher registered the business in February 2021.
Willemstein came on board in October of 2021. The company has been so successful that two additional technicians have been hired since.
If you have an appliance that is giving you fits, make Elite Appliance Repair of Columbus your first call for help. “We are humbled by the amazing reviews we receive from our customers,” Beecher says. We don’t want your appliances to break down. But if they do, we know just the repair company for you.
