I am lucky David Drummond has a terrific reputation and one of them is that he pays for the pickup and delivery, as long as you keep the original packing and box to use. I have used him for 10 years now with no complaints, so as CitrusCQ says, recommendations are a good thing to seek out before jumping into the unknown.

I service machines - all of them. I'm a certified warranty repair person for one of the major brands and service them on a casual basis for one of the shops in the city. I also service at home. If you walk into my house and the service area in the house you will NOT see any "new machines" unless a client has left one for servicing but it certainly doesn't mean that I'm not good with them. That's a pretty broad brush to paint with.
