After dropping my Janome off my quilting frame and breaking it (long story) it took my repair man 4 days to analyze it....two weeks for the part to come in, and another week for him to repair it once the part arrives. It should be as good as new when I get it back (said otherwise it's in great shape) because he's already asked me if I want to trade it in on another machine. Think 3 to 4 weeks.
