- VPVee ProhaskaJan 30, 20265.0Emily is a sewing machine wizard. My sewing machine had been throwing a temper tantrum and she got it working properly again without a sweat. She also managed to help me with a piece of the machine my cat had previously snapped off. This place makes you feel welcome and heard with your concerns. Plus, you're going to get honest answers.
- RCRich CasciatoJan 26, 20265.0Very fast and friendly service. Highly recommended.
- AGAllie GanoeJan 6, 20265.0I have been going here since I was a child. My grandma took her vacuum there. I have been to this place several times as an adult. I thank God this place is still exactly where is was over 50 years ago. Very helpful, very kind, reasonably priced , and they have always solved my problems.
