Harry's TV Video & Appliances is an independent repair shop that handles washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, and televisions across multiple brands, operating in Oklahoma City's service repair market where most households rely either on big-box chain warranty programs or manufacturer-direct service calls.
A locally-owned appliance and electronics repair operation that accepts walk-in diagnostic visits and scheduled repair appointments. The shop services both customer-owned appliances and electronics brought to the location, stocks common replacement parts on-site to reduce wait times, and handles brands including Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, and Frigidaire. The business does not perform installation of new appliances, focusing instead on repair and troubleshooting of machines already in homes.
Diagnostic fees typically run $60 to $85 per visit, applied toward the repair cost if the customer proceeds with work at Harry's. Common repair jobs and their approximate ranges include washer repair ($150 to $400 depending on the part), dryer service ($120 to $350), refrigerator repair ($200 to $550), and dishwasher work ($180 to $400). Television repair starts at $100 for diagnostics and runs $250 to $600 for component-level fixes; modern flat-panel TV repair often costs more than replacement value, which the technicians will note upfront. Prices vary by part availability and labor complexity. Call ahead to confirm current rates, as parts costs fluctuate with supply.
The shop charges labor by the hour at approximately $85 to $95 per hour, with most jobs quoted as a flat rate once the problem is identified. Customers can schedule appointments or drop off appliances for next-day or same-week service depending on workload and part availability.
Harry's competes directly with big-box chains like Best Buy's Geek Squad (which handles TVs and some appliances through third-party referrals) and Lowe's service desks, both of which operate on longer lead times and higher markups on parts. Geek Squad TV repair often exceeds $400 for the same work, and neither offers hands-on diagnostics in a physical location where you can discuss the repair face-to-face. Manufacturer warranty programs (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung) cover new appliances but direct customers to authorized service centers, which may be farther away and lack inventory flexibility. Independent shops like Harry's position themselves between manufacturer service (faster, sometimes free under warranty) and chain retailers (convenient but expensive and slow). Choose Harry's if you own older machines outside warranty, want to avoid big-box markups, or need same-week service; choose manufacturer service if your appliance is under warranty and you want the repair covered.
This shop works well for households with older washers, dryers, and refrigerators worth repairing ($500 to $2,000 machines) and for customers who own TVs from the last 10-15 years that have failed but retain value. Renters and people with new appliances still under manufacturer warranty should check their warranty terms first before paying out-of-pocket. The walk-in diagnostic model suits people who want a quick assessment before committing; the appointment-based service suits people comfortable waiting a week for non-emergency repair. It does not suit customers seeking same-day repair on every job or those unwilling to discuss repair costs openly before the technician starts work.
Call or visit in person to describe the problem: what the appliance is doing (not running, leaking, making noise, displaying an error code), when it started, and what you've already tried. If you walk in, expect a 15 to 30-minute wait for a technician to assess the machine on-site. If you schedule ahead, drop-off appointments are available; you'll leave the appliance and receive a call once diagnostics are complete, usually within one to three business days. The technician will call with a quote before proceeding. Approved repairs typically begin within a few days of authorization.
Harry's operates Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; it is closed Sunday. Street or lot parking is available at the location. For large appliances, you can arrange to have the unit picked up for a fee (typically $40 to $60 depending on distance within Oklahoma City) rather than transport it yourself. Confirm current hours and pickup availability by phone before visiting.
Harry's TV Video & Appliances fills a repair niche that big-box retailers and manufacturer programs leave uncovered: affordable, honest diagnostics and repair for machines that still function but fall outside warranty and don't justify replacement.
