Cordova Sewing & Vacuum Center

The owner of this place is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly Prices are very reasonable. I’m so glad that I found this place. There aren’t many sewing machine repair shops in town.

After calling around to get quotes from other vacuum repair shops, I decided on this location since it the repair price was fair compared to other repair shops that quoted me 8 – 10 times more than this place.
I walk in and greeted and helped immediately. The gentleman that help me is extremely friendly and vey professional. Not only did he replace my belt but also cleaned out my brush and filter better than I could.
He started my vacuum and did works just like new. I’m very satisfied with the work. They also repair sewing machines as well. I forgot to ask if they repair carpet cleaners. I will check since it’s about that time for me to get mine checked out.

This place is fantastic. And the owners are friendly and super knowledgeable – they know their trade of vacuums inside & out. And their prices are very reasonable, not at all what they could charge being the specialist in vacuum repair that they are. My older Electrolux canister model is an amazing machine that works better than any modern vacuum I’ve seen. So when it broke I was heartbroken and expected to pay hundreds to get it fixed if I wanted to salvage it. But Michael and his team knew exactly what was wrong when I brought it in. I got it repaired and the parts were at stock price and the labor was reasonable.
They know all of the unique issues with every model of vacuum, which replacement parts are available and which are out-​dated. And they’re not afraid to tell you the straight scoop on any machine, even the ones they sell. That’s another thing: there’s no pitching there. They’re not trying to sell you anything. They do endorse and sell a specific vacuum system if you ask about getting a new system. But they don’t pressure you; they just show what’s available.
Yes, their store is tiny (customer floor is probably appx 500 – 600 sq ft the most) and they are somewhat understaffed as they really only have like two or three vacuum experts who do all the main repairs. But apparently they must have TONS of customers because they’re always overloaded with work! So when you bring your system in to get repaired don’t expect to get it back sooner than a week unless it’s a real easy fix. A few others have said the place is filthy. Well it’s not filthy it’s just crowded and it’s a repair store not a boutique so get over it. If you want a super clean showroom go to Macy’s and buy a new vacuum. However if you already have a great vacuum and want to keep it running in top shape, go here.

I’m giving this firm five stars because it is owned by an ethical, hard working family. I have done business with them for more years than I can count. They know what needs to be fixed and know how to fix things. And, I know them to be honest, caring people. They are so busy because so many others feel the same way, they aren’t always speedy. If you need your appliance immediately, they offer a loaner. Sometimes, they have almost more work than they can handle. But, you can count on them to fix the problem and fully service both your vacuum and sewing machines and sergers. I’d hang my hat on that statement. Hats off to you Michael and family.

I have been going to Cordova Sewing and Vacuum for years. The workmanship is great and they’re the nicest people to deal with. They will go above and beyond to make their customers happy. I have been taking my vacuum cleaner there for servicing for years. I recently took my ancient and ailing Fantom Fury vacuum cleaner in because it was making an incredible noise. I love that vacuum — I’ve never found one I like better. They determined that it wasn’t the motor, which I had feared. The part that was needed wasn’t available because the company had gone out of business years ago. They looked and looked for a part that would work and even tried to find material to manufacture the part themselves. Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible. I got a refurbished Dyson replacement for very little money. I highly recommend them!

Absolutely the best! I had a central vacuum which quit on me after 30 years. Had someone come out and they
quoted me $ 1700 to replace it and assured me it could not be repaired. Took it in to Cordova sewing and he turned it in to new for nearly nothing. There was a small piece that needed replacing and he did that and over and above what we needed. The ambiance is that of a hard working, professional business. Wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Got very lucky when getting a number from Google to repair my vacuum. I went to a different shop and I was told I melted a part in my Hoover. Guy told me he would do it for $ 90. Didn’t have the $$$ to spare so was going to take it in today. Thank goodness I didn’t.
I called Cordova Sewing and Vacuum center. Mike looked at it for free. Told me I put the Belton wrong and he replaced it in 2 minutes. Charged me for a belt and less than $ 3 labor. I then bought bags and a HEPA filter.
SPENT $ 36 things I needed instead of wasting $$$$ on needless repairs.
He seemed pretty busy but I think supporting a local business 43 years that works with I integrity is VERY IMPORTANT.

I took my sewing machine there is December 2013 for repairs. The place was very filthy and crowded; barely a walkway to get from the door to the counter. It seemed very unfriendly. When I left the store, I was nervous that perhaps I would not get my machine back. A couple weeks later, the store called saying the machine was repaired. I was relieved to get it back but the bill was almost as much as the cost of the machine. The bills was padded with items such as a bobbin, needle… things I didn’t need to get there. It was shady.
There are problems with the machine again but I will take it elsewhere and hope for a better experience.

Even though the store is «closed» on Sunday, Mike the owner was gracious enough to let me bring in my two week old Eureka bag less vacuum for repair. Like I said this is a TWO WEEK OLD vacuum so he took in my broken vacuum and will be dealing with Eureka for me at no cost to me. This is a complete load off my back to say the least. I didn’t even know this kind of service still existed. I now know that my vacuum is not worth the material it’s made of and what type of vacuum is! I have spent thousands of dollars over the years on the gimmicks and promises vacuum companies proclaim but never deliver. I will take my repaired or replaced hunk of junk but will also save for something worth it next time!

This was my first time using this shop and I will probably not go anywhere else. I won’t buy a vacuum unless it’s from these guys, as they really know their stuff! My Dyson runs like new and it is easily a decade old. Best $ 85 I’ve spent on a vacuum since I bought a Dyson! Please patronize these guys as they deserve your business.

Quick, Honest, Friendly customer service and fair pricing. Vacuum came back like NEW.

OMG, I have purchased more than one used vacuum cleaners from this
business. The owner, his name escapes me, is ALWAYS so nice! And I always
get a good deal! You deserve your FIVE stars! Will return!

Replace the internal hose on a Kirby vacuum cleaner.
Although the place is 35 minutes away from my house, it was well worth the trip.
My Kirby was fixed in 10 minutes flat !
This place has been in business since 1973 and has been passed from father to son, as I heard.
Their customer service is beyond great ! Michael fixed my Kirby immediately, did an excellent job.
The price was very reasonable.
While I was there, a lady came in and stated chatting with Michael as if they were family.
No… she’ s just been a customer for a very long time, and keeps coming back .
This says something, wouldn’t you agree?

I took my Electrolux handheld vacuum here because they are an authorized Electrolux dealer. They’re located on Folsom Blvd. between the Mather Field and Zinfandel exits (if you’re coming from Hwy 50) in a small shopping center that’s a bit sketchy (but it’s Folsom Blvd. in Rancho Cordova, so…). I called beforehand and was told that they were pretty busy and it would probably take them a week to assess the situation with my vac and get back to me. So, I dropped it off.
2 weeks later, I called them. I was told it was an electrical issue and, even though they’re a dealer, Electrolux does not sell the piece that would be needed to fix the problem. So, I cannot blame Cordova Sew & Vac for this. Of course, they didn’t exactly get back to me within a week, but this is not my only vacuum. I picked it up and was not charged one cent. So, I can say that I think these are very knowledgeable guys. They’re just really swamped. I mean, if you go into the store, there are vacuums and sewing machines EVERYWHERE with fix-​it tags. I would go to them again if I had another problem because they’re very helpful, nice, don’t charge to assess the problem, and I think they know what they’re doing. I’m deducting one star only because they didn’t get back to me within a week, as I was initially told.

I was doing the finishing sewing on a quilt project when my machine began to skip a stitch! I was prepared to take my machine in, have it checked, hoping the bill wouldn’t be too much. The owner was so gracious and suggested changing out the needle first to see if that would work. It did! It’s not often you find honest people who want only to make money — these people are both honest and gracious. I’m going to bring my machine in for a complete service job real soon!

Reliable and honest businessfolks. Took my Eureka Boss in for repair. Repair cost and time estimates were both very reasonable. Excellent outcome. Prices on belts and bags very competitive with Amazon, but not fakes!
They work with you. A quick run down 50 to Mather Field Rd.

My sewing machine was binding up a lot, and on a recommendation from a friend, I went to this shop. I thought I was going to have to replace parts or something and was prepared for a huge bill or having to buy a new machine, but the owner was incredibly warm and friendly, and explained that it likely just needed to be serviced and cleaned. I had it back a few days later, working perfectly again — and it was very affordable.
Although the shop is located a ways from my house, I will definitely make the trip out again when my vacuum finally goes out.

We are giant hippies at my house (this might be evident from other reviews). We are strongly motivated to fix our old stuff rather than buy something new.
Cordova Sewing and Vacuum Center is way out in Rancho Cordova, which may make them inconvenient for some, but they are a locally owned business with great customer service.
We have used them to repair and maintain our ten year old vacuum and my grandmother’s gorgeous and hard-​working forty year old sewing machine. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such a sentimental modern heirloom.
User error led to a second trip with my sewing machine. They were incredibly busy and still a staff member sat down and worked out where I had gone wrong, fixed the problem, and instructed me on how to avoid and/​or fix said problem in the future. All free of charge! They have clearly demonstrated to me that they stand by their work and their customers.
They are notoriously (at least in our household) difficult to find. They are now located right in Rancho Cordova near Mountain Mike’s Pizza.
