TESTIMONIALS
"It's refreshing when a service provider like Pat from D&S exceeds expectations...nobody likes having to call for service because obviously something went wrong but at least you can take comfort knowing that the technician is well-trained and knows how to correct the problem in an expedient manner. Well done D&S including your follow-up phone call."
- Robert D., Warwick, RI
"D&S was the closest authorized repair center that Bosch recommended. They were able to schedule me in a very reasonable time frame. The repair person came exactly on time each visit. He was very knowledgeable, well groomed and polite. The customer service was also very helpful and knowledgeable. I am extremely pleased with D&S repair and have already called them back to service another appliance in my home. I highly recommend them."
- Sophia S., Cumberland, RI
"D&S did a great job restoring my early 1980’s electric oven burners to working order (and thus restoring working order in my household)! Thanks D&S!"
- Frank O., Canton, MA
“Our experience with D&S was exceptional! - Very impressed that when the technician arrived he pulled out shoe covers (so many others come in with their muddy shoes). Also he was very professional and helpful…I would definitely recommend your company.”
- Regards, Pat D., Milford, MA
“I think your service and your technician was excellent…..I called for an appointment and got one right away…..Mike was excellent!”

The Eagle Scout award is a performance-based achievement. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank - only about 5 percent. This represents more than 2 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912. Nevertheless, the goals of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness—remain important for all Scouts, whether or not they attain the Eagle Scout rank.
Becoming an Eagle Scout is a high honor, and again, we wish to give all of our congratulations to Joe and his family.
Sam Bonacci the other owner of D&S Appliance service earned his eagle scout award in 1976.
Please join us in congratulating Joe Habib on his rank of joining the Eagle Scouts. Joe is the son of Jim and Sandy Habib, one of the owners of D&S Appliance Service. Joe’s Grandfather, Joseph Habib was also involved in scouting and was a Scout Master in West Roxbury and Roslindale for many years in the late 60’s to mid 70’s. He mentored his grandson in the ways of scouting.
As an owner of D&S Appliance, and therefore a mentor, it has always been Jim’s desire to install core values in his technicians and employees. These mirror some of The Boy Scout’s core values.
At D&S, all of our technicians learn and hold these values, enabling them to always:
Be prepared
