How long does it take you to reach Hillsborough from San Ramon?

Roughly 50 minutes over the San Mateo Bridge, traffic depending. We batch Hillsborough with Atherton, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills on Peninsula route days, so booking a day ahead almost always gets you a firm window. We are available 7 days.

Do you carry Speed Queen parts with you or will this take two visits?

I stock the high-turnover Speed Queen parts on the van: belts, pumps, lid locks, fill valves, dryer elements. Most Hillsborough jobs close in one visit. If your machine needs something unusual, the written quote will state the part, the price, and the return date.

Is a 20-year-old Speed Queen still serviceable?

Very often, yes. Parts availability for these machines is better than for most brands, and the frames and transmissions hold up. I evaluate the expensive core components during the diagnostic and give you a straight written answer on whether the repair makes financial sense.

Speed Queen in Hillsborough

Speed Queen in Hillsborough kitchens.

Hillsborough has no commercial district by design, which means no appliance shop up the street and no quick fix when the washer quits. The homes here range from 1920s estates off Floribunda to newer builds in the hills, and the laundry setups vary just as much: converted butler pantries, purpose-built laundry suites, and more than a few homes running a second Speed Queen set near the pool house or guest quarters.

What Hillsborough Speed Queen owners have in common is the reason they bought the machine. Almost every one tells me a version of the same story: a premium front loader that needed a board at year four and a bearing at year six, replaced with a TC5 or TR7 that was expected to simply work for twenty years. My repairs are aimed at protecting that expectation, not at talking anyone into a new machine.

We come over the San Mateo Bridge from San Ramon, CSLB #1136642, EPA certified shop, working 7 days. Written quote first, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, one year warranty on every repair.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Slow agitation from a worn TC5 motor coupling path. In older Hillsborough installs I see TC5 washers that agitate lazily under a full load of towels but seem fine half-loaded. The cause is usually wear in the belt and drive path rather than the transmission itself, which is good news. I test the gearcase under load first, then replace the worn drive components, and the machine pulls like new again.
Mechanical timer contact failure on classic-control models. Owners who deliberately bought the knob-controlled Speed Queen sometimes find the cycle stalling at rinse or skipping the spin segment. That is the timer contacts pitting after years of use. The timer is replaceable, and I would rather swap a timer than see someone abandon a mechanically healthy machine over a control knob.
Dryer airflow restriction cooking the thermostat. Long duct runs are common in larger Hillsborough homes, and when airflow drops, the cycling thermostat and thermal limiter take the abuse until the dryer stops heating. I replace the failed components and measure airflow at the machine, and if the duct itself is the root cause I will tell you in the written quote so the new parts do not die the same death.
