3 Things To Consider When Choosing A Sewing Machine Repair Service

Time Frames 

Even if you're flexible regarding when you'll get your sewing machine back after repairs, it's a good idea to ask each potential service provider you speak with to provide you with firm time frames so you know what to expect throughout the repair process. Some service providers may have to order parts, such as a machine pulley or presser bar, for your specific sewing machine to get it fixed, which can add weeks to the time frame in which you can expect your machine to be ready for use again.

Other service providers may already have everything they need to get the job done, which means you'll likely get your sewing machine back within just a few days' time. So gather the time frame information you get from each service provider you consider working with, and compare the information side-by-side, so you know have a clear idea of what you're getting into before scheduling any repairs.

Warranties

Another important thing to consider when comparing repair service providers is warranty options. The repair company you decide to work with should offer warranties for any parts and services that were done to your sewing machine, as this will help ensure that you won't have to pay out-of-pocket for any future repairs or maintenance tasks that are needed as a result of neglect or dysfunctions. For instance, if your service provider replaces the needle thread tension assembly on your machine and it breaks due to improper installation within a month after being repaired, you shouldn't have to pay to hve it fixed – your repair technician should do it for free.

Have each potential service provider you consult with provide you with a complete list of warranty options and written guarantees that are available when you schedule a repair for your machine so you can determine which one is likely to offer you the best long-term protection.

Discounts

Some sewing machine repair companies may be willing to offer service and product discounts on future purchases in exchange for choosing them to fix your machine. Because of this, it is worth inquiring about discount opportunities when consulting with potential repair service providers. You may be able to get a small percentage off of things like connecting rods and bobbin cases if you make a purchase when having the repairs that you need to have done, or you might be able to score a certificate for a specific amount of money off a future bed shaft or sewing arm purchase. It never hurts to ask!

Making these considerations while comparing potential sewing machine repair providers should help ensure that you get the services you need in a convenient and timely manner.
