I charge $65 + parts +shipping for a clean, oil and polish and I go over and above what the other places do. I give the machine the complete spa treatment after a tear down. Then after a thorough cleaning I reassemble the machine set the tensions with a gauge and then I will give it a good polish. Then you will receive a piece of broadcloth with all of the stitch functions demonstrated on the cloth to make sure it works correctly and to let you know that I tested the machine thoroughly.
Most shops that I have been in just take compressed air blow the machine out oil it up and bam they are done in 10 minutes or less. Thats why you have a lot of complaining customers and messed up machines. Billy |
I guess I am old fashion my sewing machine is 42years old NEVER had it serviced and used it professionally in my bridal shop for years and the rest of the time dailey. Cost$00.00

Prices here in KS/NE are $55 plus.
|
$99 to overhaul a machine, I was shocked too.
|
Usually averages about $80, they always find somethnig that needs fixing.:(
|
I just took my Singer over to the Singer man to clean and
it is going to be $88. So that is about right if you don't know someone that can do it. |
My Euro-Pro locked up and before I took it to a repair shop (the closest one was 2 hours away) and paid $150 for they estimate of the problem, I decided to take one more look at it. I took the right side off and the belt was fine. I took the left off, the needle assembly was fine. Then I took the bobbin assembly completely apart and found a black thread wrapped around 2 screws.I took a pair of tweezors and got the thread.Then I put everything back together and turned it on and it worked just fine. But mine is not a computerized model. If yours is,I wouldn't try a self-fix .
|
LQS here is $85.00/Has 1/2 off prices once in awhile.I hit those!
|
