nope, no parts. Just lint cleaning and general check up. That's all that it says on the receipt anyway.
|
Usually had my Pfaff's done under waranty. Did bring one it to local shop and charge was $65 - that was about 2 years ago but don't know what it would be today. Before going to that shop I had checked with another shop that said any machine that was computerized began at $125, needless to say I didn't go there.

I have 2 vikings 1 is the designer and it still only cost $79.00 FOR cleaning, and all the yearly stuff! I think you need to find a new place
|
I take mine in yearly and if there are no parts it is $35 each. I have two Vikings, a Pfaff, & a Featherweight.
|
It's $80 where I take my Janome.
|
Basic cleaning and service is $55.00 at my shop. Basic includes cleaning, checking feed dogs heights, needle bar height, tension-top and bobbin, new needle, oiling and greasing, timing and other minor stuff. The only time it is higher is if it needs parts.
|
Always get a written quote for such services and to contact you if parts are needed and how much more it will be.

Is that normal to pay? I didn't even pay that for the White. They surely did take advantage of you. I pay $65.00 only for my Janome 6600P. Plus, I'm fanatical about cleaning my machines and oiling them. I wouldn't want to know what this place (an hour drive for me) would charge for my older machines. So, what do you all pay? Did I pay way too much? |
My base rate for my Brother 2003D and Pfaff 7570 was $179.00 the last time I took either in several years ago. I don't take mine in unless there is a problem. I oil where they need it and make sure I take care of the bad needles pronto. I don't know how to time them and parts do wear out so that is when they go see the 'DR.'. The response I received when I asked about the cost of service was that 'you spent $5000.00 on these machines so the service is more complicated', yeah right! I didn't spend anywhere near that on any of my machines!
Good luck on your service hunt! |
My Bernina's yearly maintenance is $80 plus GST.
I just had her maintenance done last week and even though he had to instal a new part (a washer I think it was had cracked so when my needle went down the first time in sewing there would be a small clunk...) it was at no additional cost as it was minor. |
