I remembered to utilize Angie's List and called for additional repair options. I called a referral from Angie's List and they were able to fix my machine for $37! I am really happy that I called Angie's List before deciding to scrap my machine!
Description of Work: I took my Singer 620 sewing machine in for a repair. They looked at the machine and established that it was a broken gear. They said it would be $250 to repair and that I would be better off buying a new machine. Other than a broken gear, this is a very well maintained machine still in mint condition.

Response from SELECT SEWING SERVICE
Thank you for the feedback. We make every effort to provide honest opinions - it was better to invest your money in a new sewing machine that would be more dependable. We want our customers to sew for many years on a machine that makes them happy and does not cause problems in the future.

I told him I could get a new machine for what it was going to cost for the repair. He told me anytime they open a machine they have to clean it, even though I clean it regularly. I told him I had another machine to use. They are very nice people. They upgraded the place nicely.

Ralph Pennington helped me by answering directly when I asked if my current machine was junk (yes). I did not feel like he was selling me by giving me information about my machine that helped me decide that I needed a new one instead of putting another $100 service into it. I asked him to show me the new machines. He started with an introductory level machine, and only showed me the better models when I expressed interest in seeing them. Again, I really appreciated that I wasn't being pressured to buy. He was very helpful in demonstrating and letting me try the machines. I have since used the new sewing machine for a project. It is terrific. I'm really happy I didn't get my old one worked on (again).
Description of Work: I brought in my 10 year-old Brother sewing machine, which hadn't been used much since the last service almost two years before, because it wouldn't sew properly. Instead of getting it serviced again, I traded it in and bought a new Pfaff.

He was very informative, and told me that my machine was old enough that the work he would need to do would cost more than it was worth. I appreciated his honesty.
Description of Work: No work was done. Since that is a question at the beginning, I don't see why all these other fields need to be completed.

THE BELTS ON MY OLD NECCHI SEWING MACHINE WERE SLIPPING AND THE MACHINE WASN'T RUNNING. I CALLED SELECT SEWING SERVICE TO SEE IF THEY CARRIED THE BELTS; JIM SAID TO BRING THE MACHINE IN AND THEY COULD MATCH THE BELTS. I TOOK IN MY MACHINE. JIM REMEMBERED ME FROM MY CALL. HE OPENED UP THE MACHINE AND MADE THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS WITHOUT REPLACING THE BELTS. HE WAS POLITE AND PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH. HE DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THIS SERVICE, BUT HE DID SHOW ME A NEW PHAFF THAT IS ON SALE...HMMM...
