Your First Choice for Scratch and Dent Appliances in Ridgeville
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.

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.

Scratch and Dent Appliances
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 Ridgeville, 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.

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 Ridgeville
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 Ridgeville 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!

A vehicle that Volvo Cars once promised to build in the Lowcountry — but never did — could roll off the assembly line in the Palmetto State after all.
CEO Jim Rowan has doubled down on potential plans to move some production from overseas to the U.S. if President Donald Trump goes through with threats to hike tariffs on cars made in the European Union to 25 percent.
Rowan first floated the idea to shift production during a Feb. 6 conference call with analysts and again this month in an interview with Reuters.
One of the cars that could get moved to Volvo's $1.2 billion plant in Ridgeville is the popular XC90 sport-utility vehicle, Rowan told Reuters. That car is currently built at a factory in Sweden.
If that happens, it will fulfill Volvo's 2017 vow to add a next-generation XC90 as the second vehicle on a new production line in Berkeley County. But instead of adding the XC90, Volvo focused all of its South Carolina production on the slow-selling S60 sedan, which was phased out last year when the all-electric EX90 sport-utility vehicle was introduced.
Volvo now says the EX90 is the "second vehicle" it was talking about all along and plans to add it to the Ridgeville plant in 2021 were delayed by the pandemic and supply chain disruptions.
In addition to the XC90, Rowan said Volvo could move the mid-sized XC60 SUV or other models to Ridgeville.
"We have space, paint shops, the buildings, all that's there." Rowan said. "We just need to make a final decision on which models and which platforms that we would move to the USA."
Rowan said the final decision will depend on whether new tariffs are imposed and how much they will be. Car exports from Europe are currently charged a 2.5 percent tariff, but Trump has proposed increasing that to 25 percent.
"It's looking like that number is going to go up," Rowan said. "If it's 10 percent each way, we can cope with that. But if it goes to 25 percent, it's a hell of a lot more difficult from a profit perspective. We'd have to wait and see the tariff quotes and then that would help us make that decision."
Volvo has already switched production to other countries to avoid tariffs. Last year, the automaker said it would move its battery powered EX30 to Belgium from China to avoid EU tariffs. That plant will boost production later this year to serve both the European and U.S. markets.
Tariffs are among the biggest headwinds Volvo could be facing in the coming year.
"We're going to see more turbulence," Rowan said in February after the automaker posted a lower fourth-quarter profit.
Volvo sold 763,389 cars globally in 2024 — a 7.7 percent increase from 2023. While that was in line with Volvo's guidance for the year, the automaker dramatically cut that from a previous guidance of up to a 15 percent increase as market conditions worsened toward year's end.
Global sales are down 2.2 percent this year through February, with consumers buying 101,482 cars. Volvo's suite of gas-powered and hybrid SUVs remain the automaker's most popular models while the EX90 has seen sluggish sales. The XC40, XC60 and XC90 trio have sold a combined 72,209 units year-to-date while 1,828 EX90s were sold in January and February.
Volvo, based in Sweden and majority owned by China's Geely Holding Group, had not reported U.S. sales figures as of March 6.
