“Spencer is based in Irving (2928 W Story Rd), advertises 24/7 emergency service, same-day service and a 2-hour response, holds Texas license 115636 active until 10/06/2027, is BBB A+ accredited with only 2 complaints in 3 years, and directories show about 4.9 stars from 1,250 to 1,710 Google reviews.”
“Frosty's is the most open about price of any company I checked (an $85 diagnostic waived if you get the repair, plus a full flat-rate repair price list online), says same-day service in Irving is routine from its shop about 15 minutes away in Farmers Branch, holds license 126718 active until 02/07/2027, and has 4.9 stars from about 129 to 143 Google reviews and a BBB A+ with 2 complaints.”
“Reliant has a large Irving-based team (3250 Story Rd W) open Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm, says most calls are handled the same day, publishes a $150 to $650 range for typical repairs with written flat-rate quotes, and has active license 34473 (until 11/18/2026), BBB A+ accreditation and 4.7 stars from about 4,359 Google reviews, though its Yelp rating is mixed (3.0 from 275).”
“Tempo is in Irving, claims 24/7 service, has active license 118470, BBB A+ and 4.7 stars from about 1,944 Google reviews, but its 9 BBB complaints and review summaries keep mentioning unanswered phones, callbacks that never come and scheduling delays, which is a poor fit for a same-day need, and it publishes no service-call fee.”
“Ellis is established with active license 2064 (until 07/18/2027) and claims 24/7 same-day dispatch, but its offices are in Cedar Hill and downtown Dallas, farther from Irving, its stated office hours are weekdays 8 to 5, and BBB shows it as Not Rated even though its site claims A+.”
“Its Irving page reads like a generic template with a shared-office suite address in North Dallas, no license number, an expired promotion and no reviews I could see, and the only similar name in the state license data (18782, Collin County) could not be tied to it for certain.”
“The site shows the warning signs of a lead-generation or template site, with a placeholder phone number of (123) 456-7890, two different addresses, no license number and no clearly matching license in the state data.”
“AirCo has active license 12263 (until 06/14/2027) and claims 24-hour service Monday to Saturday, but it is based in Fort Worth more than 20 miles from Irving, and I saw its details only in a search snippet.”
“Integrity is well reviewed (4.9 from 863 Google reviews shown on its own site) with active license 124869 (until 11/04/2026), but it is based in Mesquite more than 25 miles from Irving and makes no clear same-day promise.”
“It is a small Irving company with active license 28141 (until 03/06/2027) and 5.0 stars from 74 Google reviews on a directory, but its website failed to load, directories list conflicting addresses and phone numbers, and I found nothing on same-day availability or pricing.”
“It is a national franchise whose nearest location is in Carrollton, and I saw it only in search snippets without evaluating it further.”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
