Quick Machine Servicing

(778) 433-6253

Please note booking is not required to have your machine serviced, unless your machine is in a cabinet, you're in Victoria for a limited time, or you need your machine back within a few days. If you don't mind waiting, you can drop your machine off with us anytime and have it added to the queue. Please contact us to find out current wait times.

When you book, bring your machine in by noon on the day of booking and we will have it done by next day, usually even same day. Multiple machines, extra labour, or machines requiring parts may require more time. We require two weeks notice so as to allow those in queue to get done. For more than one machine in a day, call the store to confirm booking.
We service all makes and models of domestic sewing machines and sergers. Drop off your machine any time during regular hours.

Please DO NOT bring with your machine:
