I brought in my brother sewing machine for a routine tune up. I've had this machine for 14 years without issue. At Home Services had it ready to be picked up in two days. I brought it home and started my project. The tension was all wrong, and any setting under 6 made large loose loops on the under side. Also, the machine still looked dirty in all of the cracks. They said to bring it back and they'll fix it for free. After seeing the issue they kept it for two more days, saying it was my bobbin case and charged me $10 for a replacement. I've never had a problem with my bobbin until I brought it to them. Picked the machine up, brought it home and started my project. Only problem, they didn't put my power cord back in the case. I go pick it up and try yet again to start my project. The tension was still broken. It only worked on 6 which is way to tight for almost anything. I brought it in again just to show them and to get my money back. To their credit they refunded my money without arguement. Overall I had a terrible experience with At Home Services. I drove across town six times for a simple tune up in which my machine was worse off. My machine worked great and now it's broken and in another shop for another week. The new repairman showed me a piece that was filed badly and after he filed it the machine immediately worked better. He also noticed how dirty the machine was. I'm sure At Home Services is good for some machines, but I completely regret going there for this service.
Description of Work: Sewing machine tune up on a simple non-computerized machine.

The overall experience was good.
Description of Work: I found the owner of the this business to be honest. I took the machine in and it turned out it was beyond repair. I was very happy to have an honest estimate. I hope to be able to take other sewing machines in for repair or maintenance. The only thing not applicable is the 10% discount for Angie's List. I let them know that the list showed them giving this discount but they said Angie's list is incorrect in this statement.

He is wonderful! Prompt, quiet but friendly, efficient, professional. I could not be more pleased. It was great not to have to lug the heavy machine to a shop. He also took away my pinking shears for sharpening. I plan to give him more work.
Description of Work: I have an old Singer sewing machine from the 1930's which was given to me. Doug cleaned and oiled the machine, provided the proper bobbins, ordered a new carrying case to be delivered to me later, installed a light (the old one was missing) and repaired the foot switch.

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT HE WAS VERY EFFICIENT WHEN HE CAME OUT TO MY HOUSE. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. MOST OF ALL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT HE IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL MAN AND HE TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUSLY.
