I was "shocked" that it cost that much to service my machine. Come on, really, $200 to service it was a bit high. That was just to open it up and oil it, check belts, and clean any dust or thread build up.I paid it, didn't complain, and am glad I had it serviced by a person with a liscense to do such work.
I will, however, from now on, always, as ask the costs instead of assume what the costs will be. I will NOT ever go back to this dealer because I firmly believe they want to make more money than what should be charged.
I will read reviews from customers and do my homework before I ever spend that much again for sevicing. It was my fault, I will admit to that, I should have asked the costs up front, but I won't be taken advantage of either.
