All certifications maintained through annual training and recertification. Our technicians complete manufacturer-required continuing education to stay current with new models, technologies, and diagnostic procedures.
The difference between authorized and non-authorized service goes far beyond warranty coverage.
When your appliance is under warranty, the manufacturer will only pay for repairs done by an authorized service center. But factory authorization provides critical advantages even for out-of-warranty repairs.

Trial and error |
Our technicians receive direct, ongoing training from brands like Samsung, Electrolux, and GE on their latest models and technologies. We attend manufacturer training centers and receive certification for each product line we service.
We have access to special diagnostic software and tools that non-authorized shops don't. This includes hidden service menus, error code logs, and manufacturer-specific testing procedures. This lets us pinpoint problems faster and more accurately—often diagnosing on the first visit what others can't diagnose at all.
Through our Marcone Service Alliance partnership, we use only genuine, factory-spec parts from the original manufacturer. Aftermarket parts may be cheaper, but they often fail sooner, don't fit quite right, and can void your remaining warranty. We never compromise on parts quality.
Using a non-authorized repair shop can void your entire manufacturer warranty—even if the repair is unrelated to future problems. Manufacturers track who services their products. Factory-authorized service keeps your warranty intact and documented.
The Bottom Line
Factory-authorized service isn't just about following warranty rules. It's about receiving the highest quality repair your appliance was designed to receive—performed by technicians trained by the people who built it, using tools the manufacturer created, with parts the manufacturer approves.
That's the Metro TV & Appliance difference.
