Colyer’s Used Appliances

I continue to love that Magtag washer and dryer. No trouble with either one of them.

Purchased a used washer dryer combo for my condo a year ago. Open it up to repair it and it turns out the thing has been welded and made nearly impossible to fix. Could have spent the $ 150 for the replacement part instead of cutting corners and screwing me. NEVER AGAIN FROM THESE SCAM ARTISTS.

Went to the location listed and they had moved. I then called the phone number on the sign, no one picked up. So I left a message asking where their new location was. I never recieved a call back and that was a week ago.

I’ve known the Colyers for many years and I know I can always rely on them. They are trustworthy and honest have affordable prices.

Since it’s been over a year, I feel this is a good time to rate the business and the product. A little over a year ago, we bought a Kitchen Aid double door fridge with an ice maker and water dispenser.
We had a little trouble with the door not closing correctly, but after Glen came to repair it, finally, it works perfectly. The reason we had to buy a used fridge was we had a specific size we wanted, and wanted a side by side door, instead of a bottom or tip freezer. Unfortunately, the newer models were all too large. And we didn’t want to removed any cabinets. It’s a small kitchen as it is.
After a week or so, it took that long to get cold, it’s just great. If it lasts a few years, for $ 400 bucks, I’d say we got our money.
And Glen is funny. It took a while to get our schedules coordinated for him to fox the door, but when he came, he knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. He just got to work and when he needed some oil, he just looked around and found olive oil in my cluttered kitchen. He didn’t even bother me. And when he was done, he showed me it was fixed. He’s great. And the fridge is still going strong.

this is my 3^rd time dealing with this appliance company, i feel as the owner Glen cares about his customers and offers good deals for appliances. We got a washing machine a year ago and just picked up a frig., He tried to help me assess and repair the dying frig over the phone, i was just done with the rusty antique. i only paid $ 200 for a nice updated frig he delivered with no extra charge, i paid over the phone and he hauled my junk out without charging me either. You guys are awesome. «Thanks

I have now purchased a built in microwave, dishwasher and stove from the guys at Colyer’s! They are friendly, funny and helpful! They are honest and you can tell they care about their clients. I will never buy another appliance anywhere but here! I cannot recommend them any higher! They deserve 10 stars!

I love this place! Went in not knowing exactly what I needed in a fridge but the owner let me take home his tape measurer to find out what size I needed. I came right back when his sales guy came back from lunch and also helped me pick out a good one! I paid, and they followed me home and delivered it immediately! The owner actually just left my house 10 mins ago! Very very friendly guys, delivery was quick and free, fridge is nice and their prices are great! I will recommend them to everyone I know! I can’t wait to go back and get more appliances! I even asked if they were hiring! Hanging out with those guys all day would be awesome!

I just purchased my second clothes washer from Colyer’s. The first one was purchased 13 years ago and it finally died. After doing so well the first time, I figured I’d head back to them.
The owner was at the store when I arrived. We talked about what I’m looking for, he showed me two different machines that he said would meet all my needs. I purchased one that day and it was delivered the next day.
They delivered convenient to my wife’s schedule, so she didn’t have to sit home, and they had no problem taking the new one down to our basement and bringing the old one out.
I think they have new units there as well, but I was only looking for a used washing machine, so I didn’t even look at them.
I’m taking one star off since they don’t have a website (and this is the bay area in the 21^st century) and their hours are somewhat limited (although they are open on Saturday).

Got a new-​er hand down fridge. So excited, but, two days later, wondering why it’s not as cold as it should be. I’m no repair gal, so, of course I start calling around. Our popsicles are melting. I need to figure this out FAST! So I open the Yellow Pages and start calling. Called Azer and got a quote for a diagnostic that could be applied to the repair.
Called a few other people and got some ideas as to what could be the problem, Freon issue, fan – all around $ 200+ to fix. Then I called Colyer’s.
Everyone I spoke with was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The man I spoke with was incredibly helpful! He told me it would be easy for me to figure out if the problem was the fan. He even said that I could easily remove the back inside panel of the freezer which is likely held on by a couple of screws and I’ll be able to see the fan. I quickly empitied the freezer and removed the panel and the fan was not moving. The guy at Colyer’s suggested I give the fan a nudge and it that might start it working if it just gotten stuck after being stored. I tried… nothing.
He told me that I could remove the panel containing the fan and bring it to him and he can put it on for me for less than half of the cost of a repairman coming to our house. That was great news, but he was too busy that day and could only do it the next day. I thanked him and told him if I couldn’t find someone that day, I’d be in the next day.
I did end up finding a place that sells parts that same day so I didn’t end up going here, but the next time I need something repaired, I will call Colyer’s first!

Ok … If you want to buy a use appliance from a very reasonable place this is the place. The owner has the highest level of customer service I have seen in a long time ! 6 month down the my fridge had problem he was there with great service to fix … Everything !!! Soooo… This is the best place the owner is a stand up guy !

Buying a used appliance doesn’t feel like the sexiest thing in the world to do, but hey– times are tough, you gotta save where you can, right? Like buying a used car, you kind of have to be patient and do your research and make sure you’re not getting screwed and «hung out to dry» after you give them your hard earned cash.
So– I Just bought a used Kenmore washer and dryer from Colyers, and the thing looks almost brand new. I paid 450 for the set, and they retail for 1200. One of the advantages of buying new is the warranty, and while you don’t get 5 years or 100 000 miles, they do guarantee their appliances for 90 days, so you get some peace of mind. The lady that sold them to me is part of the husband/​wife duo that own and run this place, and I could just sense that when talking to her that this was an honest business that took care of it’s customers. I bought the set at noon, and by 4 o’clock, the delivery guy, Robert had set it up in my garage and hauled out my broken set for free. Robert tested the water, ventilation and everything and didn’t leave until he was confident that the set was in working order– Then he cleaned out the dryer vents in my house with his bare hands. I bet you won’t get that from Sears or Home Depot.
Bottom line– If you need an inexpensive appliance and don’t feel like buying from crooks, I don’t think there is any other choice but Colyer. (at least in Hayward.)

All I can say is that I have bought used appliances before, but never at such reasonable prices and never from such a genuinely nice (not to mention honest and fair) guy as Glen Colyer. This guy also repairs appliances, so he can even tell you which brand is cheaper to fix should it break down in the future. I bought a washer, dryer, and super cool stainless refrigerator for under $ 1000, including tax and delivery. The refrigerator alone was probably around $ 3000 brand new and was in great shape. He has a good selection of appliances and is very helpful in describing what might best fit your needs. I can’r say enough good things about this place or it’s owner! I will be a repeat customer for sure, when the need arises.

I’m going to base this review off of a phone call. So here it goes… My washing machine went out on me and as i inspected it, i noticed that it needed a new lid switch replacement. I called around to local washer repair and appliance stores like sears, airport appliances, and got the same answer. «we don’t carry parts. you will have to look on our website and have it mailed out». i didn’t have the time for all of that and so i looked on Unilocal for «washer repairs» and found Colyer’s. Noticing that it was used appliance place, i was hoping they would have the part that i needed, but instead Colyer made a suggestion that would save me about $ 100. Instead of going through the trouble to find that part i needed, he advised me to bypass the point of having the switch. He even walked me through it and with a few strippings of some wires and electric tape, it was back to working condition! I’m glad i turned to Unilocal and found Colyer. 5 stars. woo hoo.

Great used appliances… especially for rentals, and prices are right.
Will continue to use in the future…
