Our History
It all started in Santa Rosa in 1949 when Monty and Ruth Montague bought three washing machines.
They kept the first one, the second went to a relative, and the third was sold off the front porch of their home. Shortly after, they built a shop in front of their house on Santa Rosa Avenue and went into business as Monty's Home Service.
Serving Customers Since 1949
Over the years, the Montagues' homegrown business grew to include not only several Santa Rosa laundromats, but seven retail stores in the Bay Area as well. By that time, the business had expanded to include electronics. A new inventory demanded a new name: TeeVax, short for "Television, Video and Appliance Center." In the mid-'70s, the Montagues sold the laundromats and a decade later, decided to close all but the Santa Rosa store. From the late 1990’s through 2023, TeeVax employed a full-time design team for kitchen cabinets. We have since narrowed our focus to our strong suit, appliance sales and repair. Our award-winning service department offers both appliance installation and service, so you may be sure you'll get help when you need it. As the Sonoma County market continues to change, we grow and evolve. In 2024 we expanded our luxury appliance portfolio to include the most recognized names in the industry, stop in or give us a call to experience the TeeVax difference!
