 Lola Pink BERNINA Service + Repair Department

We are proud to offer in-house certified BERNINA service and repairs by a BERNINA certified technician.

It is the goal of the Lola Pink BERNINA Service + Repair department to get your machine running smoothly and to keep it running smoothly as quickly as possible.

Proper maintenance can mean the difference between years of loving your machine or years of frustration. BERNINA recommends yearly clean, oil, services for all machines or approximately every 1 million stitches. This means if you are a power user, it's recommended to service your machine more frequently.



 

Why so frequently?

By opening up the covers, we are able to remove all the old oil and grease, clean all the lint and fuzz that accumulates in places you can't reach, and perform checks to make sure your machine is running according to BERNINA specifications.

 

What work is performed in a clean, oil, and service?

During every clean, oil, and service we remove the covers and clean out all lint, fuzz, needle bits, pins, and every other foreign object not meant to be behind the covers. We remove the old grease and oil and replace it with BERNINA oil and grease. We also perform all the service checks to make sure your machine is running smoothly. The clean, oil, and service we perform is a thorough cleaning and servicing of the machine.

 

Do you just service BERNINA machines?

For now, yes and I apologize to all our non-BERNINA customers who are asking. To ensure timely service and repair, we are only accepting BERNINA machines.

Do you service BERNINA machines not bought at Lola Pink Fabrics?

Yes, we do. However, machines bought at Lola Pink are entitled to discounts on our service prices listed below and you are given Priority status. Buying a BERNINA from Lola Pink also lets you have the option of making a service appointment for same day Clean, Oil, and Services.

 

Do you require a deposit for service?

No, unless it is a special circumstance involving the older machines with particular issues. Otherwise, we have your BERNINA machine and therefore, we know you will be back to make payment.
