They were unable to fix my sewing machine, then claimed it was my fault by condescendingly claiming I'd developed a loss of "muscle memory" and forgot how to thread it overnight. The machine would work for a day or a few hours after I got it back, then start seizing up again and trying to pull the fabric into the feed dogs. The shop never fixed it.
Update: I appreciate that Broomfield refunded my cost. According to my last communication with them, we were at an impasse with them claiming the fault was mine and they were willing to "teach" me how to thread a machine

I bought my first Riccar and the customer service is outstanding. I work 6 day's a week, so I called to order some bags, they brought them to my house for me . That type of service just does not exists anymore at no charge. Great Business,run by Great People.
