    Default How much is a general cleaning and check up?

    When you take your machine in for a check-up and cleaning, how much do you pay for the service.
    What is the turn around time for your machine? Just bought a used machine and need to line up a good place for cleaning and general maintenance. Thanks for your help.

    I pay $75 for my Bernina, that's the going rate where I am. I usually get her back in a day or so.

    It seems to vary enormously from place to place -- both cost and time to get the machine back.
