Lots of the newer machines have a knee attachment to lift and lower the presser foot so you can adjust your fabric. My Pfaff 2170 does. And also some of the newer machines are getting rid of a presser foot lifter completely. You just press a button.
But I'd definitely take your machine and receipt for the servicing and march back in there to make them fix it correctly.
I'd hate for you to get rid of it. Those old Singers are terrific. I have a 1950 model that was my mother's. It weighs a ton and can only straight stitch but I just can't part with it. I use it when my Pfaff is being serviced.
