Report
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of calling Carter Services for an estimate to replace a gasket for a commercial freezer. They first insisted that we had to replace the whole door when the only problem was with the gasket coming loose. After explaining to the technician that we would not be purchasing a new door they finally gave us a quote to replace the gasket which was between 500-600 dollars.
I called the freezer manufacturer to see how much a new gasket would cost through them and it came out to 43.16 and takes less than 10 minutes to install with no tools needed. Unless you want to be taken advantage of I recommend staying away from Carter Services

I needed the gasket seal replaced on the freezer of my refrigerator freezer. Isaac explained the problem showed me how the underside of the gasket had hardened and then carefully explained what I needed to do to thaw out the freezer and prepare for the replacement part to be installed. When he returned a few days later with the part he was quick and neat. Patiently answered my questions and overall a great experience!

My 78 year old Mom's over the range microwave went out. So I called Carter. He showed up on time. He came to the conclusion that the fan was bad. He puted me $576 to replace a $49 fan part. I told him my Mom was just squeaking by on Social Security and was barely getting by. He looked at me and said well, do you want to do this or not. So we just bought a new microwave for $300 and I installed it for $22. What is wrong with this company. Will never recommend or use Carter ever again. Do not call because it was $98 for him to tell me that it was going to be basically $600. What a JOKE!

Ken did a great job of regular maintenance service for my subzero refrigerator, drawer refrigerators, under cabinet refrigerators & wine refrigerator. He replaced a water filter, as well. I have him check my appliances yearly hoping that by servicing them I won't have to replace them too soon. In the past he has also satisfactorily repaired my oven, cooktop & outdoor BBQ. I highly recommend Carters Appliance Company & Ken in particular.
