Jerry Olsen is picking up where his now-retired dad, Paul, left off in the appliance-repair field.

Operating from a workshop behind his home at 125 Columbia Park Drive, Jerry can and will fix fix just about anything, from stoves and fridges to washers and dryers. What’s more, he’ll also do warranty work.

“This is the only depot in the area that will do warranty work,” said Paul as he watched Jerry work on a fridge.

For Jerry, who had been a representative for Snap-On Tools, setting up and running Jerry’s Appliance Repair is an opportunity to stop working long hours on the road away from home.

“Okay, I may be working some long hours here, too, but I’ll be working at home,” he said.

You can reach Jerry’s Appliance Repair at 250-837-3500.
