The independent appliance repair shop across the West
Stove & Range Repair in San Marcos — Book a Visit Today
We repair gas and electric cooktops, including a burner that clicks and clicks without lighting, which means gas is flowing but the spark isn't landing. On electric, one dead coil or a glass surface element that cycles on and off tells a different story. Weak flames, orange tips, knobs that turn but do nothing, sticky igniters after a boil-over: all repairable. We're a first-name family shop in the San Marcos area, working on all major brands as an independent company. If you smell gas, shut the valve and step outside. Otherwise, call us or send the quote form and say which burner acts up.

Homeowners on how the visit went
“The written quote listed the part number. I checked it online and the price was fair. Hired.”
Diane R.Stockton, CA“Stove igniter clicked forever and never lit. Fixed on the first visit with zero drama.”
Pete C.Reno, NV“A different company said replace the fridge. These folks fixed a relay and it has run six months since.”
Gloria M.Gilbert, AZStove & Range Repair in San Marcos — quick answers
Is a gas smell an emergency?
Treat it that way. Shut the gas valve behind or below the range, open windows, skip light switches, and step outside. Call your gas utility first. Once they clear the home, reach us and we'll handle the appliance side.
Why does one burner light but the others don't?
On many gas ranges, all burners share a spark module. If only one fails, the trouble is usually local: a fouled port, a cracked electrode, or moisture. If none light, we look upstream at the module or the wiring feeding it.
Can you fix a cracked glass cooktop?
The glass itself is replaced, not repaired. We check whether the crack reached the element wiring underneath, since that changes the job. Some cooktops have available replacement glass; older models may not. We tell you what we find before ordering anything.
My oven bakes unevenly. Is that fixable?
Often, yes. Uneven baking usually traces to a weak element, a convection fan that stopped turning, a worn door gasket letting heat escape, or a sensor reading off. We test actual cavity temperature against the setting rather than guessing.
How soon can someone come out to my San Marcos home?
Usually within a day or two, and often sooner if we're already routing through 92069 or 92078. Call us with the brand and what the appliance is doing. We'll give you an arrival window instead of a vague all-day wait, and we do have later-afternoon and evening slots for folks who can't take off work.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us what it's doing
Ring us or fill in the form, and describe the noise, the smell, the error code and the brand. Small details help us load the right parts before we ever knock on your door.
- Step 2
We come look
Our tech tests the machine instead of guessing. You hear what failed and why, in plain words. Then you decide whether repairing it makes sense or replacing it makes more sense.
- Step 3
Repair and retest
Approved work gets done, often on the same visit. We run a full cycle before packing up, wipe down the area, then show you what changed so nothing surprises you next week.

Why homeowners call us
- We know hard waterValley water leaves scale on everything, and we see it in clogged dishwasher jets and crusted washer valves. Water heaters groan, too. We check for mineral buildup out of habit, because around here it's usually part of the story.
- Swing-shift friendlyNot everybody is home at ten in the morning. We schedule around night shifts and split shifts, and around long commutes. Tell us the window that actually works for your household and we'll aim for it.
- Independent, not steeredNobody pays us to push a brand. We service all major makes as an independent shop, so our advice on repair versus replace comes from what we saw inside your machine.
- Straight talk on old unitsSome appliances aren't worth another part. We'll say so. If a repair is likely to buy you real time, we'll say that too, and let you pick from there.
- All major brands, gas & electricFrom Whirlpool and GE to Samsung, LG, Bosch and KitchenAid, serviced independently.
- Straight answersIf it isn't worth repairing, we'll say so, often right on the phone.
