Nunley's Appliance Service is a locally owned repair shop that handles major appliances—refrigerators, ovens, washers, dryers, and dishwashers—at a single location in Oklahoma City. The business operates on a call-out model with same-day and next-day appointments available in most cases, and it stocks common replacement parts on its service vehicles to minimize return trips.
Nunley's focuses on repair rather than sales or installation of new appliances. The shop services both older machines and newer models, including some brands with proprietary components that require factory-trained knowledge. Work is performed both at the customer's home and at the shop location, depending on whether the appliance can be transported or must be diagnosed on-site. The business does not handle commercial kitchen equipment or coin-operated laundry machines.
Diagnostic fees typically run $75 to $95 for an in-home visit; this charge is waived if the customer approves the repair estimate on the same call. Repair costs vary sharply by job. A refrigerator compressor replacement may cost $400 to $700 depending on the model, while a washing machine inlet valve repair often falls in the $200 to $350 range. Oven element replacements are usually $150 to $250. Labor rates are generally $85 to $110 per hour for work performed at the shop; mobile service carries a trip fee of $50 to $75 on top of hourly labor. Parts are marked up 20 to 30 percent over cost, which is typical for independent repair shops. Confirm current pricing before booking, as parts costs fluctuate with manufacturer supply.
Big-box retailers such as Best Buy and Lowe's operate repair services through subcontractors, typically charging higher diagnostic fees (sometimes $100 to $150) and longer wait times of three to seven days. Manufacturer authorized service centers, if available for your appliance brand, may carry official parts but often charge premium labor rates and require appointment-scheduling weeks in advance. Nunley's positions itself between these options: faster than authorized centers, cheaper than big-box contractor networks, and with the flexibility of a locally owned shop that can address off-brand or older machines. For urgent problems like a broken refrigerant line, Nunley's same-day availability matters more than a 5 percent price difference. For planned replacements of a heating element or latch, the cost and parts availability may favor a manufacturer center if your appliance is under warranty.
Nunley's works well for homeowners with appliances outside warranty who need fast, local repair without the markup of national service chains. The shop handles a mix of age ranges, so someone with a 15-year-old washing machine and someone with a three-year-old refrigerator can both find service. It does not offer new appliance sales, installation services, or delivery, so customers who want a replacement machine shipped and set up should look elsewhere. The shop also does not service commercial units or laundromat equipment, which require different tooling and compliance standards.
A phone call triggers the diagnostic process. The customer describes the problem—leaking water, no power, unusual noise—and a dispatcher estimates whether the repair can be diagnosed and completed in one visit. If yes, an appointment is scheduled within 24 to 48 hours in most cases. The technician arrives with common parts and diagnostic tools, examines the appliance, and provides an estimate before starting work. If the repair requires a part not on the truck, the technician orders it and schedules a follow-up visit, though this adds delay. For shop-based repairs, the customer either drops off the appliance (for portable items) or arranges pickup and delivery through Nunley's, typically at an additional $50 to $100 fee per trip.
Nunley's operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and offers Saturday morning appointments by request. The shop is located in central Oklahoma City; confirm the exact address and whether mobile service reaches your neighborhood before calling. Street parking is available at the shop location. Emergency after-hours service is not offered, so urgent weekend problems require a delay or a call to an authorized service center that charges a premium for same-day response.
Nunley's fills the gap between DIY repair attempts and expensive authorized service centers, making it the practical choice for mid-range appliance problems in Oklahoma City where speed and local knowledge matter more than brand prestige.
