Common questions
How long does a service take?
Most cleanings and tune-ups are ready in about a week. Call ahead during the holidays, when the queue gets longer.
Do you service machines you didn’t sell?
Yes. Bring in your machine and we’ll look it over and let you know what it needs.
Can I try a machine before buying?
Absolutely. Stop in any time we’re open, or call to set aside time with someone who can walk you through it.
Do you take trade-ins?
Ask us about your current machine. We’re happy to talk options when you’re ready to upgrade.
