Wilshire Refrigeration & Appliance Inc. has repaired luxury kitchens across Southern California and Las Vegas for more than 50 years. That reputation has a downside. Some companies now copy our name and imitate our website to win business from our customers. They lift our branding and register look-alike web addresses, hoping you won’t notice the difference until a stranger is at your door.

This page explains how to tell the real Wilshire Refrigeration from a copycat, so you know exactly who is coming to your home.

The Real Wilshire Refrigeration & Appliance

We are a factory-certified appliance repair service for Sub-Zero, Wolf, Cove, Miele, and other high-end brands. Homeowners know us as the appliance repair experts for luxury kitchens, from refrigerator repair in Los Angeles to appliance repair in Las Vegas. Every technician is trained, screened, and sent out with genuine parts. We serve homeowners across Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Santa Barbara, and San Bernardino counties, the Coachella Valley, and Las Vegas, and we protect the factory warranty on every unit we repair.

If a company claims to be us but does not match the details below, it is not Wilshire Refrigeration.

How Impersonation Scams Work

Most of these scams follow the same pattern. A copycat builds a website or a listing that borrows our name, our look, and sometimes our reviews, then waits for your search to land on it instead of on us. When you call, the person who answers sounds professional and books a visit.

The trouble starts at your door. Some impersonators quote a low price, then raise it once the appliance is apart. Others collect a deposit and never come back, or send untrained help who fit cheap parts that void your factory warranty. A few simply overcharge for luxury-brand work they are not qualified to do.

The result is the same. Your Sub-Zero or Wolf ends up worse off, and the real Wilshire Refrigeration had nothing to do with it.

How to Confirm You Have the Right Company

Before you book, check these against whoever you are dealing with:

• Official website: wilshirerefrigeration.com. Read the spelling and the domain closely, since copycats use near-identical addresses.
• Official phone: (818) 898-9999.
• Legal name: Wilshire Refrigeration & Appliance Inc. Note the word \”Refrigeration,\” not \”Refrigerator.\”
• California license: #681587. You can confirm this number with the issuing state agency.
• Home base: Northridge, California.

Warning Signs of an Impersonator

Be cautious if you notice any of these:

• A business name that is close to ours but not exact, such as \”Wilshire Refrigerator\” in place of \”Wilshire Refrigeration.\”
• A web address that copies our look but uses a different domain or spelling.
• A phone number other than the one listed above.
• No license number, or one that does not match #681587.
• Pressure for cash up front, a wire transfer, or unusual payment before any work is done.

What to Do If You’re Unsure

Stop and verify. Call us directly at (818) 898-9999 and confirm the appointment, the technician, and the address.

If you think an impersonator has already contacted you, do not share payment details and let us know so we can help. Reporting it protects other homeowners too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wilshire Refrigeration a legitimate company?

Yes. Wilshire Refrigeration & Appliance Inc. has served Southern California and Las Vegas for more than 50 years, holds California license #681587, and is factory-certified for Sub-Zero, Wolf, Cove, and Miele. You can confirm the license number with the issuing state agency.

Is this the official Wilshire Refrigeration website?

How do I spot a fake Wilshire Refrigeration website or listing?

Check the web address character by character. Ours is wilshirerefrigeration.com, with no extra words, hyphens, or misspellings. A genuine listing shows the (818) 898-9999 number and the full legal name, Wilshire Refrigeration & Appliance Inc. When something looks off, call us before you book.

How do I know a technician is really from Wilshire?

Call (818) 898-9999 and confirm your appointment, the technician’s name, and the arrival window. A real Wilshire technician shows up in branded gear with genuine parts, and never asks for a wire transfer or cash before any work is done.

What should I do if I paid an impersonator?

Contact your bank or card issuer right away to flag the charge, and keep any messages or receipts. Report the company to the California authorities and the Better Business Bureau, then call us so we can help you sort out the appliance itself.
