Andrei - Licensed CA Appliance Technician, BHGS #51001
Meet Andrei
Andrei lives in San Francisco and drives to jobs across the Bay Area himself every day. No regional call center, no ticket-routing layer - when you call, you reach the technician who shows up.
Before appliance repair, Andrei was a trained mechanical engineer who worked as a boatswain on Black Sea cargo vessels - eight-month deployments where engine room hydraulics had to be diagnosed and fixed at sea. That experience built the discipline he brings to every repair today: diagnose to root cause, not symptom.
His first client in San Francisco was the landlord upstairs. He fixed his refrigerator, charged him fairly, and explained what failed. Today FixitBay LLC is one of the fastest-growing appliance repair services in the Bay Area - top-rated on Google, Thumbtack and Nextdoor, with Andrei still answering every diagnostic call himself.
On a ship, every component matters. A failed pump means a flooded engine room. That’s why I diagnose every appliance to root cause - “running again” isn’t the same as “fixed.”
— Andrei, FixitBay LLC
From the Black Sea to Your Kitchen
Before fixing Sub-Zeros in Pacific Heights, Andrei fixed engine room hydraulics on Black Sea cargo vessels.
Eight-month deployments. Heavy weather across the Bosphorus. Mechanical systems that had to keep running because there’s no “try again next Tuesday” at sea - you either solve the problem or the cargo doesn’t reach port.
That discipline carries over. Every appliance repair starts with diagnosis to root cause, not symptom. If a refrigerator runs warm, we don’t replace the obvious thermostat and call it done - we test the compressor relay, vacuum the condenser, check refrigerant pressure. Because “running again” isn’t the same as “fixed.”

How Andrei Works
What Customers Say About Andrei
A sample of recent service calls. Every review verified through Google, Thumbtack, or Nextdoor.
“Andrei was great-diagnosed issues with our oven, was communicative, and professional. His assessment of the problem with the igniter seems accurate. He was informed and thorough explaining the issue. So far, great experience!”
“Professional service. Andrei was punctual and came the day after I called. He took his time and looked all over the unit. He explained what had to be done and I agreed to the service. The parts arrived a few days earlier than expected and he let me know.”
“Miele kept throwing F70 mid-cycle. Andrei traced the loose ribbon cable behind the control board, reseated and tested across three cycles. Quoted before any work - and his quote was the final invoice.”
“Washer started slamming during spin and threw F08 E03. Andrei diagnosed the slipping belt and clutch pulley wear, had the parts in stock, replaced both, balance-tested. No upsell on a control board I was told elsewhere I "probably also needed."”
