This is the new way to work on cars too....talk about expensive.....
You are so right. Unfortunately. Mt daughter bought her first car, used, and shortly thereafter it started making loud noises. Three places told her a whole new engine. The 4th tightened a few heat shields near the exhaust. Problem solved.
With sewing machines, it seems to be automatic around here to very aggressively recommend a cleaning, whether it needs it or not, and totally ignore what you're telling them about the problem. After that, if they can't fix it, oh well. I was even told by both a shop owner and a repair person in a different shop that even if I hadn't used my Juki 2010 in 3 months, it would be "bone dry" inside. An engineer I know scoffed at that, so I opened up the machine. It was lubricated everywhere. What a racket.
