Shaphan Hawks Logs 78 Repairs While Marco Palacios Hits 38-Week Streak

When one technician completes nearly triple the jobs of his nearest competitor while another quietly extends the longest active streak on the platform, you know May 2026 delivered something special. The numbers tell a story of dominance, endurance, and a category landscape in flux.

Shaphan Hawks of ASAP Appliance Repair logged 78 repairs across 18 categories in May, nearly tripling runner-up Carlos Montano's 28 repairs. Hawks commanded GE Washers with 5 repairs, LG Washers with 5, and Maytag Washers with 6, all while maintaining an 11-week streak. His versatility and volume set a benchmark few can approach.

But consistency has its own currency. Marco Palacios of El Marco Appliance Service reached a 38-week streak—the longest active run on the platform—while logging 15 repairs in May. His 4 Samsung Dryer repairs led that surging category, which doubled from 5 to 10 jobs month-over-month. Palacios may not chase volume, but his unbroken cadence speaks to a different kind of mastery.

Vasilii Kirillov of SET Appliance extended his streak to 26 weeks with 27 repairs spanning 17 categories. He tied Hawks atop Samsung Refrigerators with 3 repairs each and claimed sole possession of second in KitchenAid Refrigerators with 2 repairs. Kirillov's breadth keeps him in the conversation across multiple fronts.

Samsung Dryers surged 100 percent in May—from 5 to 10 repairs—with Palacios leading the charge at 4 repairs. Hawks followed with 3, while Kirillov and Anthony Moya each logged 1 in the month's fastest-growing major category. The question now is whether demand can sustain this trajectory or if May was an anomaly.

The month's most competitive category was GE Washers, where Hawks edged Kirillov 5 to 3 in a field that generated 12 total repairs. In LG Washers, which produced 11 repairs, Hawks again took the lead with 5 while Palacios logged 3 and Kirillov claimed 1. These head-to-head battles define the upper tier.

Beneath the surface, brand dynamics shifted violently. Whirlpool jobs cratered across the board: Washers dropped 75 percent from 20 to 5, Dryers fell 81 percent from 16 to 3, and Refrigerators declined 63 percent from 19 to 7. Meanwhile, Frigidaire Ranges surged 300 percent from 1 to 4, led by Carlos Montano's 2 repairs. Montano of Saving Grace Appliance logged 28 repairs across 18 categories, claiming the lead in Whirlpool Refrigerators with 4, Frigidaire Ranges with 2, and Electrolux Refrigerators with 2—plus 2 inspection jobs documenting field intelligence on a 10-week streak.

In Maytag Washers, Hawks logged 6 of the 7 repairs in May, dominating a category that declined 22 percent from April's 9 jobs. David Hair of David Hair Repair claimed the lone remaining repair in the category.

As June begins, all eyes turn to whether Palacios can extend his 38-week streak and if Samsung Dryers can sustain their momentum. Hawks remains the repair leader to beat, but Montano's versatility across 18 categories signals a rising challenger.
