Description of Work: Cleaned and tuned up a Singer Zig Zag machine. This machine had not been serviced in the last fifteen years. It is now in perfect running condition. |The price, while rather high, was in line with other local providers. It has been a long time since my last such visit.

They serviced the sewing machine as requested. It was working, but needed lubrication and a tuneup. They called regarding the vacuum. The repairs would have cost more than a machine of that age was worth. The canister vacuum was purchased from Sears 8 years ago. Parts of the machine still work fine, so I brought the old machine home and purchased a new vacuum from Aspenleiter Vacuum. We were not charged for the diagnosis of the problem.
Description of Work: Took our canister vacuum and sewing machine to the provider for repairs and maintenance. They have reasonable operating hours and convenient parking.

The hose for my vacuum was damaged and I thought I'd have to buy a new vacuum cleaner. However, Aspenleiter was able to cut the damaged hose off the two ends (the end that fits into the vacuum and the end that takes the various accessories) and replace it. I have used them in the past when something has been caught in the hose that I could not get out and I have purchased replacement accessories from them (rather than from the manufacturer which would have cost a lot more). They are just terrific!
Description of Work: Replace vacuum cleaner hose.

The people at Aspenleiter vacuum were friendly and gave me good advice on how to prevent other potential problems. They also sell vacuum bags which is good to know since I had not found any locally before. I will definitely go back.
Description of Work: Our Miele vacuum head stopped working. It has a separate motor which makes it work better on our hardwood floors. We brought it in and they were able to fix it in a couple of days. We haven't had a problem since.

The company fixed everything wrong with the sewing machine. The customer service was great. It took only one week. When I pick it up I asked if the the machine could be put in my care and they did so.
Description of Work: Sewing machine is about 25 to 30 years old. The bobbin was not working, stitching was off,and the light feature was broken.

They repair and sell vacuum cleaners. They have been doing business here in Rochester for probably 50 years. I went to their store. I think they also repair other types of machines like sewing machines, but mostly vacuum cleaners. I spent about $112 for their services. They were honest with me and were extremely helpful. My vacuum cleaner was ready when they said it would be and the price was lower than I thought it would be. I did save some money. The re-manufactured vacuum cleaner that I bought from them was a lot better. I had bought an inexpensive vacuum cleaner from another store, but I took it back the next day after using it once since it was just a piece of junk. However, I got a much better one for the same amount of money from Aspenleiter Vacuum and it was perfect. I took two vacuum cleaners to be fixed. They said that they don’t make parts for one of the vacuum cleaners and they didn’t charge me for going over it. They did troubleshoot to find out what was wrong and tried to get the bearings for it. They could also get the bearings. Then they repaired the other one. It was absolutely delightful to go there. I knew Aspenleiter was there from when I was a kid, but I had forgotten since I had moved out of the city. Then I found them on Angie’s List; so I went there. If needed, I would use their services in the future too. I have recommended them to my family members and friends.
Description of Work: Aspenleiter Vacuum repaired my Kirby vacuum cleaner sometime in July. I bought a re-manufactured vacuum cleaner from them. I also bought some extra stuff from them like the accessories.

I called to inquire and they assured me they could repair the machine. The age of the machine and the availability of parts posed no problem. Their work was quick and professional.
Description of Work: They serviced and repaired an old - 1970- sewing machine.

I was amazed that they didn't even blink when I brought in such an old machine. They had all the parts they needed and did it promptly. Very reasonable price. When I mentioned that I needed some bobbins for the machine, they pulled out a basket of old-style bobbins and let me take one for free.
Description of Work: They repaired my sewing machine (of 1949 vintage!) and "tuned it up".

con't......shoppers jamming the streets. It was very frustrating! The location was on a major street in the downtown area and parking was difficult, a place where a single woman feels uncomfortable. Anyhow, the repair was exactly $75 plus tax. My machine needed a screw part and cleaning, so the bill was fair. The inconvenience to me however did not seem to be recognized by the man behind the counter. For good customer service, an adjustment should have been offered.
Description of Work: My machine needed attention because the tension was not setting properly. The Angie's List report on file gave a good grade, so I decided to give it a try, especially because the business seemed locally owned. Upon dropping off the machine, a verbal estimate was given. I was told that if the repair was over the estimate, I would be called. The machine was to be ready on Monday (nearly a week, but considering the holiday season, it seemed reasonable). I mentioned that I got their name from Angie's List and the response was a single word: "good." I was unable to pick up the machine until the following Wed. The repair was uncompleted and I was told that probably it would be ready on Thurs. The apology seemed a bit insincere and flat. Thurs. afternoon I got a call that the repair was complete and machine ready for pick up. So, Fri afternoon, I again drove the distance in the heavy holiday traffic--people leaving for travel, schools dismissing kids for the long vacation, and

The machine was sent in by the shop that sold it to me, but I would have had to wait two weeks for it to be delivered to them. Because I was in the middle of a time-sensitive project, I called and arranged to pick it up at the shop in three days. The work was complete and beautifully executed - the repairer had done more than was expected, and the machine worked better (and still does) than when I bought it.
Description of Work: The machine had to be taken apart and totally reassembled.
