About the bench

We fix what is worth fixing

We fix what is worth fixing

This shop started with one workbench, a parts drawer sorted by machine make, and a habit of telling people the truth about their machine before quoting anything. That habit is still the whole business.

A forty-dollar big-box vacuum with a burned-out motor is not worth a sixty-dollar repair bill, and we say that plainly and point you toward buying new instead. A thirty-year-old machine with a cast metal body and a motor that still pulls full suction is almost always worth fixing - those were built heavier than most of what is sold today, and the parts are cheap because so many were made.

Three people work the bench. Between them they have opened more machine housings than any of us can count.
