I had my Singer GT&S fixed last year -- finally I had a broken or worn out gear after 30 years of using it! -- and a month or so later I had to take it back for (possibly) a like problem. They charged me for the new part but not for the labor. Their reasoning, I think, was that they should have caught the second problem when they fixed the first one. Even so, sewing machine repair is apparently not cheap, I'm learning (first time that machine had EVER been in for repairs), running $100 plus, no matter what they do.
I think that is why we are a throw-a-way nation. It often costs more to repair something than to buy new. It is a difference of mass producing and one off repairs by a skilled craftsman.
