This repair/sales shop is as good as it gets. I take in my vacuum about once a year either for a clog removal or a new filter. I have also taken in my mother's vacuum and have referred them to numerous friends. The service is fast and I have *never* been told "We don't service those." If they don't have the parts, the service team WILL look it up and find it.
Estimates are quick and accurate. I have never felt overcharged or pressured into a service or part I did not need. I typically deal with Don, but I do not know if he is the owner. He's very direct and to the point (which I like!) Hey- I'm not going in for hugs, I'm going in for fast, reliable, reasonably priced service- I don't want to b.s. about the weather. Don always explains exactly what needs done and why, what the part will cost and how much the labor will be.
They are extremely low-tech and still write estimates and receipts out on carbon slips, but they are accurate and exacting to what I am told.
The shop is about a half hour away from my house. It's a pain to get there during business hours because I work. When my sewing machine broke this week (tension knob) I called around to see who else could service it. One place very near to my house wanted $150 just to look at it! (Yes, promised a year warranty but if that's all that is broken and I only take it in once in a blue moon it's still outrageous when I can buy a new cheap machine for $150 at WalMart.)
I took my machine back to Springfield Vacuum & Sewing, $0 down to look at it, and the estimate came back $20 for a new tension array and $20 for labor. 'Nuff said. Why go anywhere else? read more
