Competitor ~2 mi away — Appliance Repair Specialists

4.8 ★ · 206 reviews

🔴 Leak #1 — The review gap

At 2.4 stars vs Appliance Repair Specialists' 4.8 — about 2 miles away — Mel's loses the click before the call. Roughly 9 of 10 searchers skip businesses under 4.0 stars, so the competitor absorbs nearly all the repair demand in Brandon.

≈ $1,100/mo (estimate)

🟠 Leak #2 — Warranty jobs vanishing with no follow-up

Reviewers say warranty repairs were silently closed without the promised parts ever being ordered, and that techs claimed fixes that weren't done. Every burned warranty customer tells neighbors — and posts a 1-star review that keeps costing jobs for years.

≈ $825/mo (estimate)

🟡 Leak #3 — Invisible after hours

No website at all means no after-hours presence: no service requests, no repair-status lookup, nothing when a fridge dies at 8 PM. Searchers find the competitor instead — and a broken appliance doesn't wait until morning.

≈ $550/mo (estimate)

Estimated total monthly leak

≈ $2,475/mo

Estimates from public data (reviews, ratings, category averages). Assumptions: ~$275 average repair ticket; the total equals roughly 9 repair jobs a month diverted to competitors — a conservative share of Brandon appliance-repair demand.
