Coast Vacuum and Sewing Center

I had old vacuum but used to be very good and it stopped working right, so I decided to call places and find out if anybody can help me, Coast vacuum gave me great consultation and explained I should keep it my vacuum even it is 10 years old and they will fix it. They fixed my vacuum perfectly as well as cleaned inside and outside so good. My Vacuum now working better than ever. Thank you so so much to Coast Vacuum and Sewing Center.
Will highly recommend !

In these days of Amazon prime and internet everything it is still necessary to obtain local service. You may buy on line, but what do you do when stuff breaks? When our trusty Hoover stopped working I was delighted to find my favorite Costa Mesa printer repair outfit – Type-​O-​Meca – has expanded to include Coast Vacuum and Sewing Center. Two days later, the Hoover is back on the job, apparently as good as new. Thanks, guys! (If I ever learn to sew I might come to value the last service too).

I had to replace an appliance cord. It was for a very expensive steam iron, not a vacuum, but Coast will repair all sorts of appliances. Andrew helped me out and was the nicest man and offered me several reasonable options (cord length, type, etc) and took care of this job very quickly. I dropped it Monday at the end of the day and I got a call Tuesday midday to let me know it was done even though I hadn’t expected it till Thursday.
The quality of the work was excellent as well. I realize this was a simple repair but the quality of the interaction and ease for me was much better than I’ve experienced in this segment of the service industry!

Coast Vacuum closed and his business was directed to Type O Meca (that is the address listed and the photo). I would NOT recommend taking any product to Type O Meca for service or repair. I took my Dyson vacuum in: it was working fine however we moved and our new house had thicker taller carpet. I explained this very clearly and they told me a $ 150 part+service would fix the problem. It took them 7 days to fix it… they never called to tell me it was done so I just went in and took my vacuum home and the problem was NOT fixed AND my vacuum was making a funny sound. I took it BACK in and they said would look at it again… another full week past… no call. I came back in and they hadn’t even touched it. They told me that my vacuum could not adjust to carpet height… SO WHY DID THEY SELL ME A $ 150 part and repair to begin with??? SHADY! Terrible customer service and lack of communication and I felt completely taken advantage of. The kicker… after I was clearly upset with the hole situation, the owner told me he would make it up to me by giving me a «good deal» on one of his new vacuums… for $ 400. What a joke. Don’t bring your items here and if you do… pay AFTER they fix the problem.

If you need a vacuum or sewing machine repaired, I recommend going to see Big Jim at Coast Vacuum and Sewing Center. This store has a great atmosphere, lots of cool old pictures. Jim knows a lot about vacuums. He’s been doing this for 35 years. I have a house cleaning company, and he has really directed me well in my vacuum purchases. He as also repaired a lot of vacuums for us, and he doesn’t mind taking the time telling me how to repair something if one of our vacuums don’t work. He also has taught me how to maintain our commercial vacuums. Go see big Jim! Tell him Aloha for me!
