I brought my old Bernina sewing machine in for cleaning and oiling. The super friendly staff assured me their policy was to have it ready in two weeks or less. I didn't hear anything so I called at 13 days to ask if it was ready. They were going to call me on day 14 to ask if they could order a new power cord, which I had said upon drop off, it probably needed. I gave the go ahead. 15 days later, no information, I called again. No new cord had arrived and the service manager said the machine would need a new cord before servicing. He admitted nothing had been done, according to the notes. So, the

I bought a new Janome sewing and embroidery machine back in November from A-Best. Daniel was so helpful and knowledgeable!
Most recently I came to the store because I had a $10 reward certificate. Paige was especially helpful with my hubby and I. In fact, hubby bought a new vacuum while we were there!
Customer service is excellent and you can tell the employees really care about the customer!

I discovered A-Best when a friend wanted to shop for a new sewing machine. I had heard of them when my favorite sewing store had closed but never had the opportunity to travel that far to peruse. After seeing what a great experience my friend had buying a used a machine, when I was ready for a new machine, A-Best was the only place I wanted to shop. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I also love there are classes to take to not only learn the basics of my machine, but to increase my sewing skills.

I discovered A-Best Sew & Vac in June of 2020. I had heard of them but never visited. Since June, I have purchased a sewing machine, then upgraded my sewing machine as they have a great policy on trade-ins. I also had my older sewing machine overhauled along with an older serger. We have also purchased a Simplicity vacuum and PureAir air purifiers. We have had great service and are always greeted with a friendly smile and knowledgeable staff.

I ordered a new machine on a Tuesday and it was delivered on a Wednesday. I hadn't purchased a new machine in 25 years and was overwhelmed with all the new types of machines. I called and spoke to Mathew and he was very helpful and very pleasant to talk with. I am also happy that I could give a local business a sale. I look forward to doing additional business with them and would totally recommend them to friends and family.
Thank you A-Best Sew & Vac.
