Scratch and Dent Appliances Near James Island
Your First Choice for Scratch and Dent Appliances in James Island
In a day and age where big box stores sell overpriced appliances to hardworking men and women, droves of Americans are flocking to scratch and dent retailers. At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we understand that money doesn't grow on trees. That's why we offer our customers the largest selection of overstock and scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina.
Finding a reputable, clean discount appliance store can be challenging. Unfortunately, companies in our industry get a bad rap. Sometimes, they earn it with dingy, poorly-lit stores, empty shelves, and mediocre customer service. At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we are proud to give our customers the "big box" structure of major chains mixed with personable service and affordable pricing of a discount appliance business. Our store is clean, our shelves are stocked, and our staff is ready and waiting to exceed your expectations.
The surge in popularity of scratch and dent appliances might be new, but we are far from a "fly by night" appliance store. As a locally owned and operated appliance store, we have worked very hard to build trust with our customers. We have years of experience selling quality scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina, from washers and dryers to outdoor grills and everything in between. Whether you know the exact brand and appliance you're looking for or need the assistance of a friendly sales associate, we are here to make your shopping experience seamless and enjoyable!

Ask yourself this: Why should you pay top-dollar prices for brand new "in the box" appliances when you can have them out of the box with the same warranty for a significant amount less? When you begin to think about buying scratch and dent appliances in James Island, it begins to make all the sense in the world.
Don't let the term "scratch and dent" scare you - all of our appliances are high-quality, name-brand products that are in great condition. You won't ever have to worry about an inoperable oven or a faulty dryer when you shop at Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair. Our appliances are all unused and shipped to use straight off the assembly line. That's right - you're paying bottom-of-the-barrel prices for brand new products that your family and friends will love.
You might be asking yourself, "What's the catch?" It might sound too good to be true, but there isn't any catch. Our scratch and dent appliances are sold at deep discounts because a minor cosmetic issue developed somewhere along the line. A few common reasons why appliances are labeled as scratch and dent include:
- The product's external packaging was slightly damaged
- The product has a small scratch that is barely visible
- The product has a slight dent that is hard to see
- The product has a tiny "ding" from being moved around in the warehouse
Unlike some of our competitors, our skilled technicians perform rigorous multi-point examinations on all our appliances. That way, you can rest easy knowing that your out-of-the-box appliance is ready for regular use as soon as it arrives at your home. With a one-year warranty on most scratch and dent items, our customers leave our showroom with a smile on their face knowing their purchase is protected.
And that, in a nutshell, is the Preferred Appliance Sales and Repairs difference: quality appliances, helpful customer service, and real warranties that you can feel good about.
Scratch and Dent Appliances Are They Right for You?
Here's the truth: Nobody wants an old, beat-up appliance with huge dents and scratches. Fortunately, we're not talking about a banged-up dishwasher that barely works. Scratch and dent appliances are just like brand new, except they have a small nick that's barely noticeable. The question is, are you OK with a small dent if it means you could save 25% off your purchase? What about 50% off? If you were to do a Google search on a name-brand appliance and compare its price to the same item in our showroom, you would see just how cost-effective scratch and dent shopping can be.
The majority of our customers are savvy shoppers who don't mind tiny imperfections if it means that they will get a great deal. In many cases, these imperfections are paint-based, which are easily fixed with a little elbow grease. If you're in the market for a fully functional, nearly-new appliance and don't mind a small blemish, buying scratch and dent appliances is a great choice that won't break your bank.
Scratch and Dent Appliances
- Scratch and dent doesn't mean "damaged." You could save as much as 50% or more off brand new appliances with minor scrapes or dents.
- We have a huge selection of scratch and dent appliances for sale, including washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, and much more.
- Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair offers customers all major name brands in our industry, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Speed Queen, Maytag, Bosch, Frigidaire, and more.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Scratch and Dent Appliances
Appliances can be a big investment, even if you're buying them at significant discounts. Of course, you want to keep your appl ances in good shape, so they continue working properly for years. Once you buy one of our scratch and dent appliances, keep in mind these tips to keep your new merchandise in great working order:
Clean Inside and Out
All appliances need to be cleaned, even washing machines. As an example, cleaning the coils of your new scratch and dent refrigerator will keep it running efficiently.
Only Use Appliances as They Were Intended
If your kids love to play near your appliances, be sure they aren't standing or sitting on them. If you're using a scratch and dent dishwasher or clothes dryer, don't overload them. If your appliance requires specific products, like a high-efficiency laundry detergent, only use the recommended products.
Change filters
You probably know that clothes drying machines have filters that must be changed. However, other appliances like dishwashers and ice makers can also have filters. Read your appliance's manual to see if your product has a filter, and if so, how often it needs to be changed.
Overstock Appliances in James Island
Much like our scratch and dent merchandise, overstock appliances have become incredibly popular in recent times. While many savvy shoppers already know about the deals associated with overstock items, others hear "overstock appliances" and immediately think something is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth!
There's a simple explanation for overstock appliances in South Carolina, and it's right in the name. Overstock items are products that manufacturers have made too many of or have a surplus of stock that needs to be sold. This is great news for shoppers who can get new, brand-name appliances at a fraction of their original cost.
There are many reasons why a manufacturer might need to sell their merchandise as overstock:
- A retail store closes its doors, and its appliances and other stock must be liquidated
- A retail store has an item that doesn't sell as well as they had hoped
- The manufacturer or their partners overestimated the amount of stock that they needed
While overstock items are perfectly normal, some customers think they aren't worth purchasing because of a perceived "expiration date." The fact is, overstock and surplus appliances are common in every industry because inventory management isn't an easy job. Sometimes people make errors, but those mistakes can turn into amazing opportunities for high-quality appliances at great prices.
Overstock Appliances Explained
Retailers have to deal with surplus merchandise all the time because older stock must be removed to make room for newer appliances. When a retailer has a surplus of a particular appliance, they will typically reach out to the manufacturer to see if they can return their overstocked appliances. Because these manufacturers charge retailers to restock these surplus items, many retailers choose instead to off-load their stock at a discounted price, and that's where Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair steps in.
The bottom line? Overstock appliances in James Island are common, brand new, and waiting for you to check out at our showroom. We carry all the major appliance brand names, like Whirlpool, LG, Bosch, Maytag, Kenmore, and even Samsung. Unlike our scratch and dent products, you aren't going to find any minor dings or scratches on our overstock appliances. It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't - when manufacturers make too much, you're in luck.
At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we have a vast selection of overstock appliances for you to choose from, including:
- Microwaves
- Washers
- Dryers
- Refrigerators
- Stoves
- TVs
- Dishwashers
- Much More!
Buy Scratch And Dent Appliances, Help Save The Environment
Buying overstock or scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina is not just a way to get a great deal on a name-brand product - it's also a great way to help protect our environment. As you might have guessed, unused scratch and dent merchandise usually end up in a landfill to sit and rot. When these appliances are brought to landfills, they release toxic greenhouse gases and harmful substances as their chemical and metal composition deteriorate.
When you buy a scratch and dent appliance from Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, know that you are doing your part to help protect our environment. When you break it down, buying products and appliances that would otherwise go to a landfill is a win-win. You're getting an incredible discount on a high-quality appliance and you're diminishing the harmful greenhouse gases that harm our precious environment.

Application for recreational development on James Island met with mixed reviews

JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - The City of Charleston is looking at the application of a potential new development off Folly Road that would include a mini golf course and a new retail center.
In addition to the mini golf course, this potential new mixed-use development would include a food court, a coffee shop, a wellness facility and a bar. There are also plans for over 120 parking spaces to accommodate patrons, according to the developer.
If approved, the development, which has been named the “Community Corner,” would take up 2.9 acres of land on Grimball Road Extension.
This project is still very early in the approval process and would require several other steps and approvals from the City to move forward.
Though nothing is finalized, this potential project has garnered quite a bit of attention on social media with residents sharing mixed feelings. Some shared concerns about an increase of traffic and the construction harming wetlands, while others say they are excited about the idea and feel the area needs more recreational activities.
Chad Biel is the owner of Bohemian Bull, a restaurant that is just half a mile from the location of the tentative development. Biel shared his thoughts on the proposed “Community Corner” project.
“I would say I see two sides of this,” he says. “It’s inevitable that the city’s going to grow. I think that there needs to be some better city planning. We have a lot of flooding on this street and a ton of traffic on this street. So, I would ask that, you know, that gets thought of when they’re doing these plans, but then, as a resident that’s kind of the piece of the pie, right? I have kids. So, they’re going to enjoy the mini golf but then we also will deal with all the traffic that comes along with that as more and more people come down this way in a relatively small highway that runs through here.”
Biel says he likes the idea of more activity options coming to the area and believes it could help foot traffic for his business, but he calls on city officials to consider some of the flooding issues and road traffic in the area. If that is addressed, he says he welcomes the idea.
“As a business owner, I think it’ll be a positive impact. I mean, every single time that we see other businesses opening up in the area, we always see a positive impact from it and we’ve had sales growth year over year, and that’s because the area is continuing to grow, we are continuing to get more people that move to James Island, we are getting more businesses on James Island,” he says.
The developer of this tentative project says that they plan to create a world class space that does not exist anywhere in Charleston.
While there is no form for public comment on this project, the city’s Technical Review Committee Administrator, Eric Schultz, welcomes questions about any of the items up for discussion by the committee. Schultz can be reached at 843-724-3790 or schultze@charleston-sc.gov.
The committee will meet Thursday at 9 a.m. to discuss this application.
This item is scheduled in the agenda to be heard at 11:30 a.m.

Guests are encouraged to join the meeting 20 minutes before the agenda item is scheduled to be discussed. The “Community Corner” is up for discussion at 11:30 a.m.

JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - After a budget setback in 2024 delayed the project, the Charleton County Finance Committee is expected to award a contract for work to build sidewalks and a crosswalk at Woodland Shores Road and Maybank Highway on James Island.
People living in the area say they have been petitioning leaders for pedestrian improvements for years. Adam Friend founded a neighborhood association that focuses on improvement projects and recently, the group celebrated adding speed humps to Woodland Shores Road.
The ‘Complete Streets’ project plans to put that 8-foot sidewalk along Woodland Shores Drive, onto Maybank Highway to Stefan Drive, and add a midblock crossing of Maybank near Stefan Drive at Terrace Plaza. The work will include a median, pavement marking and drainage as well.
“For it to be 2025 and we’re finally seeing that a bid is being endorsed and going to be signed off on tonight with Gulf Stream is surreal, I guess would be the best word. I’m excited yes, but I’m going to hold out until I see they’re actually breaking ground before I believe this is really happening, but it looks certainly to be coming to fruition which should really help the safety of a lot of us who live on Woodland Shores Road,” Friend says.
County Council is expected to award a more than $3.6 million contract with Gulf Stream construction. Woodland Shores Road catapulted into the public eye after a 2023 hit and run that left Jen Drummond seriously injured. Her neighbors renewed a push for sidewalks, something they say they had wanted for some time. Their efforts have also achieved adding speed bumps since the incident.
“We’d hoped we could have avoided something tragic prior to having this come to fruition, but we fought really hard as a neighborhood. I started this Woodland Shores commission and I think it’s been a really strong grassroots mission, of people just refusing to take no,” Friend says.
Funding is both federal and local for the multi-million dollar project. There is not a set construction start date, but the work is expected to have at least a nine-month timeline once shovels are in the ground. Friend says it’s not perfect since it’s only one side of the road, and the opposite side of their mailboxes for some, but he thanks the local and state leaders who worked on achieving it.
“People have become very ‘Doubting Thomases’ I guess and don’t think it’s really going to happen, so I think we will all be really happy when we see the work in progress,” Friend says.

Legami is a new Italian restaurant boasting a chef brought in from Rome by a family with roots in Turin, Italy.

Chef Andrea Congiusta cooks modern Italian fare with some influences from France. “We took inspiration from the classic fine dining, but we also want to have something fun, something that looks very fancy, and something you can crave,” says Congiusta.

Modern steakhouse Marbled & Fin is giving all the other steakhouses a run for their money. The expansive dining room fills nightly with well-heeled customers ready to see and be seen.

Charleston is going crazy for soup dumplings, and newcomer Chef Loong Dim Sum delivers. The restaurant offers four flavors (pork soup, chicken soup, pork tomato soup, and truffle pork soup). The rest of the menu is quite extensive as well, with selections ranging from Sichuan mala chicken, crab rangoon, dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, and more.
The team behind Italian favorite Le Farfalle has an enticing new cafe in Charleston.

There’s also choices like prime rib, roast chicken, marinated eggplant, and so much more.
Chef Micheal Toscano recently opened a taco shop next to his Italian restaurant Le Farfalle.
