I hate to be without my machine for a week while they clean it, so I try to take it to the shop on my way out of town for a weeks' vacation or out of town for the holidays. I can usually schedule it ahead of time so they have me on the schedule. There is one shop that says it I schedule it ahead of time, I can drop it off in the morning, do some shopping, and pick it up in the afternoon. Of course, this is for cleaning, not for a mechanical problem. We hate to be without our "babies"
