Canton, Mich.— RepairClinic.com®, the trusted online store for replacement parts for home appliances, outdoor power equipment and heating and cooling equipment, today announced this month marks 15 years since its launch.

“In 1999, we created RepairClinic.com with the belief that we could make repairs easier and faster for homeowners and small-business owners,” said Chris Hall, RepairClinic.com president and co-founder. “Now 15 years later, we’re honored to have earned the trust of more than three million customers who’ve saved $250 million in repair costs by completing repairs on their own.”

RepairClinic.com stocks more than one million replacement parts and maintenance products for 160 brands of major home appliances, outdoor power equipment and heating and cooling equipment.

Experienced repair technicians were among the company’s first hires.

“Accurate data has been a top priority since day one,” Hall said. “Every day, this data is updated and expanded. From the beginning, we’ve also provided reliable, expertly-produced troubleshooting and repair help. We’re continually improving this system to fulfill our promise to make fixing appliances and equipment as easy as possible.”

RepairClinic’s free advanced online troubleshooting and how-to repair help system empowers do-it-yourselfers to fix common problems associated with home appliances, outdoor power equipment and heating and cooling equipment. DIYers enter a model number to choose from a list of common symptoms for that particular model, troubleshoot and learn the likely causes, purchase the correct part and watch expertly-produced how-to repair videos.

The company’s in-house teams produce the repair help content, including the 1,600+ how-to videos that are viewed 45,000 times daily and have been viewed more than 25 million times since 2010.

“Every day, we hear from customers who are thrilled they’ve successfully repaired appliances and equipment and saved money,” said Hall. “There’s no greater satisfaction than knowing we’re of great help to so many people.”

This anniversary comes on the heels of other recent, notable milestones in RepairClinic’s history. In February 2014, the company announced it had earned an “Excellent” rating for customer service from the independent, third-party evaluator Stella Service. In 2012, RepairClinic became one of the first online retailers to make it easy for do-it-yourselfers to find and purchase heating and cooling equipment replacement parts. Also in 2012, the company began shipping to Canada. More information about RepairClinic.com’s history is available on its website.
