I dropped my machine on a Wednesday and it was ready at the weekend, excellent service. This was a year ago, its pretty much ready for another service now, making lots of scrubs and thousands of masks.

Brilliant service, can't recommend them enough. Took my Riccar overlocker on a Thursday for repair to a fault and service and got it back on the next Monday. Lovely friendly people.

Purchased a sewing machine today. Very impressed with the service. Showed the requested machine and ran through the essentials. No attempt to upsell to a more expensive model.
