I have called Yerachmiel Soltz a few times now about different repairs - each time he has answered me honestly and saved me hassle and money - without having earned an agura (or even met me for that matter!) The last time was a biggie:
My countertop gas burners are over 2 years old - no more warranty. They cost about 850 NIS when I bought them. One of them was not working. I called El-Ram (Bosch service) and they said it would be 200 NIS just for the service call. I called Yerachmiel to see if he would come for cheaper, and when I described the problem, he was very hesitant, and felt that the part itself would cost at least 200 NIS or up to even 300 or above. When I called ElRam - after much begging and pleading they gave me a price over the phone - 520 NIS for the part - plus the 200 for the service call!! (you do the math)
As Hashgacha would have it, Mr. Kol-bo came cruising by that very afternoon. He fixed the burner - plus opened all the others and removed gook and rust from them all and made them all turn more smoothly - all for...... 80 NIS!
Yerachmiel is honest and knowlegeable, and for those who've never encountered Mr. Kol Bo (he claims his first name is Kol Bo and his last is Tikunim!) - well, he can fix just about anything (although his Ivrit is a bit broken!) with a smile and the right price, and he'll drop it back off at your home afterwards. Plus the neighbourhood kids get to yell into his loudspeaker.
