They provided great customer service listening to what I wanted and providing options to fulfill it. Even providing a couple 1on 1 training sessions and loading it in my vehicle. To make things easier they have financing available for a promo of 0 interest is paid off within the promo period. making it a win, win. They even fully set up the table and machine I purchased and showed express setup details. I was able to get add on such as presser feet and pro wound bobbins that are also a huge time saver. also add-on upgrade for the machine to allow specific needle sync settings that are a huge time saver. at checkout it was delivered out and put in my vehicle. the staff there was knowledgeable and friendly providing other necessities for the machine so I wouldnt be suppressed when I got home that they werent included which is standard for industrial machines. Money well spent I would buy from them again, and use their services going forward.... Oh, and cant forget that they even offered a trade in on the old machine.

Top of the line care and service with competitive pricing. I could not be happier with my new machine. I hear so many tales of woe from people that order their machines online. If you did make the mistake of buying online the service here department can work magic. Highly recommended!

My 93 year old mother has been sewing masks and donates them for food banks to give to children. She probably sews about 100 masks each month. As you might image, she has run through 3 singers, one baby love and is now using a Bernette which was recommended by the staff at Sewing Machine Service Company. She absolutely loves her new machine. Weve had to take the machine in twice for service - one time it was because of a bent needle and Kyle patiently explained how to check the needle. The staff is wonderful and the service exemplary. We drive down from Ballard to Renton because we love this place!

I bought my Bernina 770 QEE from them, and it has been so worth it. I receive the support I need when I have questions, and they are always willing to help me figure out a project I havent done before. Naomi remembers me (and my daughters) when we come in to pick up accessories, and always has a smile for us. Pattys classes are informative and so helpful! They are worth the drive to get there if youre not super close.

I really appreciate small businesses because they are more about the people then the money into the pockets of upper management etc! They are busy enough it took awhile for them to get to my machine which tells me they are worth the wait and they are helping other people. So many people want what they want now and I would rather have quality.Naomi and Kevin were great and I appreciated their honesty and the time they took to work with me. I am excited to try my new machine! I told Naomi what I wanted and she had it at a decent price. Yeah maybe I could have gotten a machine cheaper else where, but we need more small businesses, the Walmart’s and Amazon’s are taking over way too much. We lack community connection with big businesses! Glad they are still going strong!

I cant say enough wonderful things about the Sewing Machine Service Company. Its like walking into your Aunts home. The staff is so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and hospitable. They know EVERYTHING about sewing machines and repairing them. They take all the time needed w/no rushing. Theyre truly delightful people and its a pleasure to enter into their shop. They even helped me w/my late Mothers sewing machines which werent purchased there. Im beyond happy to have found them as I get back into sewing again. Its easy to see why theyve been in business since 1942. If you need help w/a sewing machine or purchasing a new one, dont do anything until youve gone here. Thank you Sewing Machine Service!!

If you treasure your Bernina, youll be happy to have it taken care of here. I left my very old machine and newer serger for routine service. They both got white glove treatment. Excellent selection of threads, new machines and accessories. Happy to know they are there when so many shops have closed

Review №11

It took over a month to get my sewing machine back after being quoted that it would take 2 weeks. They never called me to update me on the status. I had to call twice to see what was going on and why it was taking so long. There was nothing crazy was wrong. Also, their employees had very poor mask/social distancing adherence. Several employees were massless in an indoor space with poor ventilation in winter. Putting on a mask when customer facing and having it off around your coworkers is not safe and does not adhere to the state wide mask mandate for indoor establishments. This increases the spread and potential mutations of the virus. Come on guys. Get it together. I will not patronize them again.

Faster service than quoted. Excellent job, even gave them an opportunity to sell me a new machine if mine wasn’t worth repairing. They gave me honest opinion and recommended I just have mine repaired. Works great now. Will remember them for any repairs or upgrades!

Excellent place to get a machine serviced. They know their stuff. They are also authorized to sell Bernina Machines. Good selection of new and used machines, as well as, industrial grade machines. I would caution anyone during COVID-19, that less than half of their front line sales staff wear masks, as of the date of this review, unfortunately. If youre immune compromised, this may not be a safe place for you to go into. Send a delegate.

This is my first on-line review of anything ever. I recently purchased an industrial machine from Kyle and the team at Sewing Machine Service. I had been considering buying one for almost two years. I visited the store three times before making a final decision and applying for financing. Each time, Kyle or one of his co-workers affably took the time to sit with me and walk me through virtually everything about the machines I was deciding between. They all did this in a very easy-going manner, in approachable terminology, and without an ounce of pressure. (My fiancee, who accompanied me on the first visit, even remarked how surprised he was to find himself so interested in the machines and how they worked. I think this is because of how engaging Kyle was and how clearly he explained the machines, motors, and their capabilities.) Arranging financing was simple and painless, ditto for delivery. Kyle showed up, got my new machine all set up and made sure I was ready to start working from that moment forward. I feel incredibly confident & happy with my purchase and know that when I do have questions Kyle will be just a phone call away. I feel very enthusiastic about Sewing Machine Service, highly recommend them, and obviously Kyle! Thanks!!

I initially went to Sewing Machine Service in search of a special presser foot for my 1997 Bernina sewing machine. When I entered through the side door, I was impressed to see a number of old, fascinating machines of all types. A man was working on a large piece of equipment and was king enough to stop his work to tell me about the machine he was repairing. Then I went into the store to see about my presser foot. The woman that helped me was very helpful and was able to identify the foot that I needed. Although they did not have one in the store, she ordered it for me and called me as soon as it came in. Love, love, love their high level of customer service. I will definitely take my sewing machine to them for service from now on and, of course, to purchase any future attachments for my machine that I may desire! Very nice, helpful, knowledgeable people!

I would rate yall 6 stars if that was possible.I recently purchased a used Merrow MG series serger and took it here to be refurbished. Kyle got into fantastic shape and I couldnt be happier with the service I got. They were so helpful.After I picked my machine up and got it back to my shop, I realized that I never got the v-belt from the previous owner, and I didnt know exactly what I needed.After a bit of research online, I returned with an idea as to what I was looking for and was helped by a pair of employees. Everyone I talked to was great. The perfect amount of patience and knowledge.I regret not remembering the names of the two gentlemen that helped me, as I want them recognized for being rad. They gracefully put up with me not knowing how to use a measuring tape, measuring the wrong part of my pully wheels, and then choosing the wrong size belt ... leading to me repeatedly returning to beg for an exchange for a different size belt and STILL getting it wrong.It was so relieving to eventually got it right. I know that there are other shops in the Puget Sound area that would not have been as cool with me. I will definitely be returning for my serger and sewing machine supplies and maintenance needs.

Review №25

I picked up my serger today which has been in the shop since June 22nd. Was told it would be 4 to 6 weeks to repair due to work load which I accepted when I brought it in. Got a call on July 1 saying that the items order to repair my serger had arrived and that the estimated TOTALLY cost for repairs would be around $230-250.00 which I approvedI called last week and was told that it would be ready no later than Friday Aug14th again cost would be $240ish. Never heard back. Called again on Wed Aug 19th told they were working on it. Then got a call yesterday that it was ready. When I picked it up the cost was $350. $100 MORE that was told back on July 1 and Aug 19th. NEVER got a call to tell me that the cost would be more.This is the SECOND time this has happened to me with this machine- of being told one cost for repair cost asking if I approved, to be than charged $100 more. NEVER, NEVER got a courtesy call telling me or asking me approval the higher charge. I have been a customer for a number of years, but sorry I wont be back again.DisappointedUpdate 8/24. Received a phone call from this business wanting to talk about my concerns. After explaining my situation, they apologized for the misunderstanding. Apparently the estimate was only for labor and not parts even though I had asked specifically if it was for the whole billing due to my prior experience from last year if the bill being higher than quote.They offered me a refund of $100 as an apology and stated they should have called be to inform me the cost was going to be higher than first told me a week before.I did suggest that they were more specific when they did give a quote of an estimate what it meant and that if it was going to be different in the future they give customers a courtesy call to inform them of the difference. They were open to that suggestion.

Having recently moved to the area, I was a bit uneasy when I needed to bring my sewing machine in for repair. Before I even got to the door, an employee met me on the sidewalk and carried my machine in for me. The service technician met with me, listened and documented what I was having problems. It was in perfect condition when I picked it up a few weeks later. While I was there, I asked Natalie to show me a new machine, which of course I ended up buying, because it was such a good deal. I have enjoyed coming into the shop for classes and am impressed by the friendly, happy nature of all the employees. I really like that the service is done on sight and not shipped out. Thank you SMS, you have created a new loyal customer.

Theres not a whole lot of places you can buy industrial machines locally, but this place was beyond awesome. Dan was so extremely helpful in steering me in the right direction for my purchase and I couldnt be happier. It was even worth the long drive to make the purchase. Absolutely love my new purchase, and I know it was a sound one because of the great customer care I received by very knowledgable staff. Wasnt pushed into buying anything more than what I needed to suit my needs. That says a lot in itself. Definitely would recommend this place, and dont let the outdated feel of the place fool you.

I can’t say enough positive praises about Berninia of Renton. I own an 830 Berninia given to me by my mother in the mid 70’s. It’s my work horse and can’t live without it. When my machine started acting up, it was making a god awful sound & then the bobbin stopped & popped loose before it was finished. I tried to sew but it quickly had other ideas. It abruptly stopped & was totally dead.......Berninia of Renton was able to fix my baby. It’s back & sews like a dream. It’s so quiet and purrs like a kitten. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, they also sharpened my sewing scissors for free with a coupon they offered me. If I ever need machine work or need to buy a new machine I won’t go anywhere else.

In need of a sturdy backup sewing machine, I went to SMS to see what was available. Natalie understood that I didnt want to invest in a machine that duplicated or surpassed my current machine that cost $$$. I just needed a machine for little projects that always arise while my main machine is in the shop for maintenance. I didnt want an electronic machine; I just wanted to mend and hem. I didnt want a lightweight machine to carry to classes. Natalie did not pressure me at all. She showed me basic machines and gave me her card to call when/if I decided to purchase. When I went to pickup my chosen machine, she had it ready to make certain I knew how to use it when I got home. She even helped me pick accessories from my broken backup machine that worked with my new backup. When departing, Natalie asked a young male employee to carry my machine to my car. Nice to have the help and nice to not feel guilty walking aside someone no stronger than I am struggling with the box. Every employee I encountered was friendly and courteous. I liked the cooperation of employees to address every customer during a busy period even if a customer needed help from a specific, busy at-the-moment, employee. Every customer felt valued. SMS has a nice, but not overwhelming, selection of machines. As important, SMS knows how to treat customers.

Review №86

The reason I bought my new Bernina Simply Red sewing machine from Sewing Machine Service is: I took my vintage Singer Featherweight in because of a jammed bobbin hoping to have in house service on it. Not only did the service manager immediately fix the problem, he was kind enough to show me how to do so myself in the future, and gave me an in depth tutorial on how to properly oil my beloved machine. He did not charge me for his time or service. I could of bought my Bernina at a shop closer to my home than Renton, but I prefer to establish a relationship with a dealer that has in house service such as Sewing Machine Service. (other shops send all machines to a service center which takes weeks-even for a jammed bobbin)!!Everyone in the store was kind and helpful. I look forward to unwrapping my new machine on Christmas Day and the helpful advice I will get from this stellar business.

Within 10 minutes, they fixed my issue no charge in hopes of earning my business. I have to drive an additional 30 minutes but I will only take my machines here for service.

The first time I took my Bernina to the shop for a tune-up, I mentioned the tension was off and making a noise. When I brought it home and used it for some mending, it started acting up and making noise again. So, when I took it back, they fixed it right away in the shop. First he tried repairing the old part, but finally explained that the place would need replacing. I was very satisfied with the service both times and was not charged for the labor at the second visit to finally fix my old Bernina 1008.

I just had my Bernina serviced at SMS and as usual they did a really great job! She purrs like a kitten and sews flawlessly. Ive had this machine for 8 years and am an avid quilter. Needles to say, my Bernina has been busy! The folks at SMS are awesome and I will always have my machines serviced there!

I have purchased a Bernina serger and Bernina 7 series sewing machine from this store. Their training upon receiving the machines and the support thereafter has been excellent. They give free mastery classes for all the Berninas they sell, and you can always call with questions or come into the store for assistance. I once broke the thread spool and brought my machine in...immediate repair and $5 charge! I was in the middle of an embroidery project and the thread broke and the machine jammed. I tried to unjam the machine, and in pulling out the threads I damaged the bobbin case; ran over to Sewing Machine Service and it was fixed immediately, and I was shown how I had pulled a wire out of place and how to fix it if it happened again...no charge! This store is a gem.
