Jim’s Sewing Center

In today’s world of planned obsolescence, it is hard to find a technician to service vintage machinery. Jim’s Sewing Center is a business that focuses specifically on vintage Singer sewing machine repairs and sales. When it comes to sewing machines, nothing beats a vintage Singer. Unlike newer models that are made of cheap plastic parts, older Singers are sturdy and can be passed down through generations. These machines are worth servicing so long as you have a knowledgeable technician.

Jim is a sewing machine savant that has been taking apart and putting together Singer machines for over 50 years. His expertise makes him highly sought after. Because of his reputation, he is extremely busy and selective when it comes to which machines he will service. He is a no-nonsense, get down to business kind of guy.

For a great experience, call ahead to make sure he will be open, drop off your machine, and let him get back to you once he’s completed a full diagnostic. Trust Jim’s expertise in Singer sewing machines and you will be extremely happy with your “good as new” machine and the price charged to get it in that state. You can also purchase refurbished classic Singer sewing machines. Rather than purchasing a brand new sewing machine that is cheaper to replace than repair, invest in a quality machine that will last.

There are two Jim’s Service Center locations, one in Oakland and one in Berkeley. The Oakland location is in the Ivy Hill district near I-580. Free parking can be found along Park Boulevard.
