I've used Belmont Appliances for my washing machine and dryer. They fix dishwashers also (and disposals, refrigerators) but I haven't needed to use them for that.

Skipper Hull's Little Foreign Car Garage

Waltham, 50 Thayer Rd.

He is honest and has highly skilled technicians who are certified by various automakers to do all kinds of work on cars, including warrantied items! I even bought my latest car from him when one of his customers moved overseas. Since he had kept it in great shape, I knew it would be a good buy. I’m still driving it: a 1998 Toyota Camry

Barry Steinberg from Direct Tire is on the Steering Committee with me on Belmont-Watertown Local First. The focus of Local First is to do business locally which will keep money in town and allow us to have a strong local economy. I have been going to Direct Tire for years and they are very customer oriented. There are coupons on the local mailings that you may receive. They do work on cars on anything from oil changes to brake work to tires. Check them out.

there isn't much they can't do but they will be honest if they can't. The owner Darren Cummings has become like an older brother - looking out for me and giving great advice and guidance on my car.  They have loaner cars which make any repairs much more convenient.  He/staff have driven me to and from work when a car is not available - I work nearby in Waltham.  I've sent many friends to him and they also find him dependable, trustworthy and extremely helpful when dealing with car issues.

Been a customer since they opened 20 years ago. Oil changes, tires, brakes, anything I’ve needed. Darren Cummings is the owner. Great service

I am the dispatcher at Watertown Towing and receive numerous calls about trespass tows. We are also an auto mechanic shop and can service vehicles as well as do minor maintenance such as oil changes

His tag line is, "when you're ready to throw your computer down the stairs, call me first!" I have given his time as Christmas gifts to friends and everyone raves about how people-friendly and computer-savvy he is. And he comes to your house or can access your computer remotely if you prefer.

Newton, Watertown St.

I have a support plan from Geek Squad that I purchased from Best Buy and have been happy with it. It covers three devices (computer, tablet, smartphone) and four tuneups a year.

Three of us got replacement storm doors, front and rear, in 2009. We recently noticed some peeling paint on the front doors. They will replace the panel, since the paint is under warranty by the manufacturer.

I have been using Lars for several years. He's a great guy, with reasonable prices. If you use him, please tell him I recommended him

I had occasion to use Wheaton Electrical last week after finding their name on this list. They were terrific. I now have a new four plug outlet and a cable plug in a bedroom that had only one outlet before. AND the electrician fished it through Not cheap, but not the most expensive either. Importantly, they did very good work.I recommend them highly.the walls so I have no ugly cables running in visible sight or in tubes along the baseboard!

He does work for the Condo and installed recessed lighting for me. He and his staff are prompt, clean, professional and friendly.

First used them in 2011 to install recessed ceiling lighting in LR/DR and K, then called them back for extensive rewiring in July/August 2019, attic to basement. Totally professional, reliable and easy to work with! I am more than simply satisfied – I am thoroughly delighted with all the work that was done.

From design advice through installation, Osher was knowledgeable, patient, helpful and supportive. I am delighted with my porcelain tile kitchen floor!

Anything you need/want done around your home, I’m fairly certain that Dave can do it – and do it really well! For me, this past summer, he demolished my kitchen to bare floor then patched the ceiling, painted the whole room and prepped it for installation of news cabinets and appliances (by Ikea); fabricated and installed stair railings; patched damaged tiles around the bathtub, installed new bathroom flooring, and installed a grab bar for the tub; and patched damaged walls in the basement.

I've used Ray Jackson for home inspections twice now, most recently when I bought my Village condo in 2012

I had a great experience with Gene from Armor Heating & Cooling, he was able to repair my central AC unit when others would have just replaced major components. Highly recommended

http://www.armorheatingcooling.com/

They installed my furnace and air conditioning 15 years ago and did a good job. I found them to be expensive for maintenance, though, because they require an annual contract whether you need work done or not and instead use the following company for that purpose.

They are very reasonably priced and very ! thorough. Two years ago, they found a problem when checking my heating that turned out to require a new chimney lining. If they were not so conscientious, I could have had a serious carbon monoxide problem in the house.

he has been wonderful. He helped me out before I purchased anything from him during a major freeze. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Not sure of his fee for a check up but he has always been in line with other good vendors when I ask for estimates.

I had a terrific service call with Paul Douglas Co. They came when I didn't think anyone would and spot-on fixed the problem.

Ellen Yaniv, 11 Pierce

I just also had my furnace and AC replaced by PR Douglas. The owner, Paul Douglas is very nice and hopefully everything will work well. The price for both was $6570, I think. It was lower than Accu Air. For the AC alone he said $4100. My service, HomeServe gave me a quote of $5700 for just the Ac. I won't be using them again

I also had Paul Douglas install new Furnace/AC last year. He was very reasonable and very professional.

great company. They installed my furnace and air conditioner about 10 years ago and I have maintained a service contract with them (pay an annual fee) which includes semiannual visits (late fall and late spring) to test out my system. Not sure what it costs if you don't have a contract but they are really good.

I had my water heater replaced yesterday by Chase and Tolan who have been recommended by other unit owners on the Village Chat. They were quick to respond.

They called back within the hour, fixed gas line (internal) and unblocked garbage disposal, all in less than 1.5 hours. Very pleased. Worker very pleasant, competent, efficient.

I just used Chase and Tolan of Watertown and they were fine. They are a little expensive. The quality of their work is good.

I used Chase and Tolan to replace my water heater and am very satisfied. The installation looks much better than the previous one. They were recommended by other Village residents

Belmont, 44 Church St.

I just used Best Cleaners for alterations. They charged less than the one I previously used for the same alteration. The work was as good if not better

Belmont, 44 Church St.

I've had good luck with the Best Cleaners down in Waverley Square at 44 Church St. I used them for cleaning and tailoring. Probably not the lowest prices but convenient and quick.
