Had a terrible experience purchasing a brand new refrigerator from here a few short years ago now, 1st off i was already waiting on them way past the time the worker had given me (even had it written down what time was coming, where at, & who for), i called to ask where they were & instead got a communication asking me how was the weather in shamokin (stunned as i live in the same area & they had it written & supposed to be aware of that, i then stated I'm in MC & they were supposed to be here awile ago, then had the nerve to tell me that they were on lunch & if I could wait... seriously i was waiting for q few hours already, & not moved in yet to the place i removed into.. so no, i cant wait all day until they decide to be ready, i had other things to do. Well anyway, just within the few days of it being set up, i was experiencing huge problems already (some food items in the fridge were freezing (eggs) water bottles, ect. ) & the freezer was getting condensation. I was not happy & thought a brand new refrigerator shouldn't be having any problems, so went to them to complain & to state i was not satisfied & wanted my money back to get a new one, the worker kept telling me I had to take it up with the company & they couldn't do anything about it, well, I kept getting the run around back & forth with the company & Schiccitano's. The owner is very nice & friendly , he came to check it out & just did a temperature setting change. It didn't work & still was having issues, the company got a technician to come out & put new gaskets on & put sealant around both fridge & freezer seams (was still not happy, bc that stuff shouldn't be needing done with a brand new refrigerator, but let him do what he came to do. Seemed ok for a little while, but still had issues that didn't seem right with the fridge. Also had noticed after time, that whatever doof worked on that fridge had a ton of wet gooped up glue all over the drawers inside & on top of the screws where the doors open, it took forever to clean them up. So i can only imagine what happened or has been wrong/faulted with the fridge. I believe somethimg screwed up inside. A few so months later I got pregnant & was dealing with this terrible ordeal the whole time & having horrible health issues as well. Also my warrant ran out to get any further help upon it too, but was up to me a for any repair payments or such anyway. So I wasn't dishing out for any repairs. So I got stuck with this refrigerator & no help on either end to simply just take the faulty thing back & give me the money back so I could purchase elsewhere. No offense to the owner, but being nice doesnt cut what right manners should have been taking in place to do. I'll never go to Schiccitano's again for...

Awful appliance service/repair. Called about a noise my dryer was making, took them 4 days to come and fix it and it was still making a noise. Paid them in cash so there was no problem with payment. Was charged $153.00 for bearings Cut to two weeks later and the dryer completely stops working, call them again. Called on a Friday, no call by Monday around 4 so called back and was told that there was no message that I had even called on Friday. What?? Didn't get them to come out until Wednesday. They said the belt was broken and that they would call with prices. No call Thursday so we called Friday. Was basically told that the repair team would get to us when they get to us. This was a week with no dryer and 6 people in the house. Lugging wet clothes to the local Laundromat. We even asked to speak to a manager and was told that he was not in. Called another time to be told the same thing. The guy that answers the phone is so rude, didn't even care that we had been waiting even for a call back let alone a service date. Only plus was that the repair team was nice and courteous, cleaned up after working on the dryer.

There are not many choices for appliance repair in the Shamokin/Mt Carmel area but be advised. Please call someone else before you call...

As far as Local Hardware Store's go it fits in the category well. They do carry a few extra things than you might not know, such as Flat Screen Tvs, Surround Sound Bars, Fridgerators/Freezers, Grills/ Smokers, etc. I believe you can actually view a catalog and they can order in whatever they don't have on hand in the Store, easiest thing to do whether your looking for a specific product/manufacturer or something you don't see in the store would be to just talk to the Manager and he will explain what they can do. Also they do offer general construction work, examples would be they will deliver your newly purchased Stove as well as remove your old one and even if you order shingles you may pay to have them repair or replace your existing roof, again you would have to talk to the manager or owner to get more specific answers to your questions but I hope this gives you a general idea if they can help with what you're...
