Anyway, it finally completely died, and I have 2 huge hairy dogs who decided to "blow their coats" at the same time. There is hair on everything.. I had to have my vacuum. So, I brought it back, hoping they could at least resurrect it until I could take it to my favorite place in Eugene. ( paramount sewing and vacuum).. WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE I HAD WHEN I WENT IN!!! NEW OWNERS!!!! SUPER FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, POLITE, HONEST, EXEMPLARY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! I WOULD NOW HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A NEW OWNER MAKES.!!!

One star, only because zero isn't an option…read more Less than a year ago, Corvallis Sewing and Vacuum fixed the foot pedal on my Singer Featherweight and charged their $50 minimum. Fine. Fair. I came back. A few weeks ago I brought in another foot pedal, just the pedal, from another Singer 201 to replace its crumbling cords. I paid a $25 deposit. A week later the staff called, confused that they couldn't find the sewing machine that went with it. There wasn't one. I had only left the pedal. When it was ready, they called again and we confirmed the price: $25 paid, $25 due at pickup. $50 total, the same as last time. On pickup day I waited about five minutes at the counter before anyone helped me. I said I owed $25. The clerk agreed and even laughed about their earlier mix-up. Then she noticed the invoice said "-$50.00," changed it with a pen to "+$50.00," and asked if I'd wait while she reprinted it. Sure. She went into the back room, a coworker joined her, and after more than ten minutes she came out with new math. I now owed $75, because they "should have" collected a $50 deposit, and there's a $100 minimum for sewing machines. To recap: -I did not bring in a sewing machine. They knew this, because they called me about it. -My last pedal repair was billed at their $50 minimum. -They confirmed the $50 price themselves, on the phone and again at the counter. -Somewhere between the counter and the back room, the total doubled. -I was told the repair person is a contractor and they have to pay him. That's a pricing problem the business needs to solve before quoting customers, not after. The pedal works. I paid because I wanted my property back. From now on I'll drive to Salem or Eugene. If you do bring something here, get the total in writing and keep a copy.

There's simply no substitute for hands-on demos and the expertise of folks who have been in the business for years. I replaced my 1980s-era machine with a modern Babylock, with all the bells and whistles (and very few features I *don't* need), and although it was a major purchase, not one regret! I spent quite a bit of time poking around, trying things out, and asking lots of questions. The owner couldn't have been more patient and helpful. Seriously, I don't think I could have purchased from a better vendor, online or off. Kudos to Rich's Sew & Vac--they are wonderful!
