Hussein is an expert at fixing machines. I've taken multiple machines to him over many years and always had good results. He also is happy to advise on getting a new machine.

Mister Gizmo is honest and reliable. He can fix anything!
I’m really sorry and extremely upset to write a negative review for a small business. Small businesses have such hard time. But this guy from GIZMO returned my sewing machine in the same condition that it was before, still with a scotch tape over a broken part and said that he fixed something inside and this tape is OK and it’s not necessary to fix or replace it. At home, as soon the tape got loose, the machine stopped. So, now I’m with the same problem and out of my money. When the next day I asked him what he fixed inside I did not get a clear answer. He said if I want to replace a broken part than I have to pay more. It may seem like a manipulation to make me to pay more. I do not know who gave him these good reviews. May be he can fix some small problems. Also he is good in pretending to look “nice” and ‘honest”. I do not know why I paid him and took a machine with a scotch tape. For some reason I trusted him that it can work. I was wrong. Of course, I have to blame myself too. When I brought a machine to his shop he did not give me an estimate, said that he won’t fix but replace a broken hand wheel and quickly took the machine to the back of the shop. It happen very fast. He did not give me a receipt but said do not worry he will call soon. I waited for his call for like three weeks and then called him. It took like five weeks to get my machine back. Now I see that I had to insist on a receipt and estimate. But, again, he really learned how to pretend to look “honest” and “nice”. When you carry a heavy machine for like twenty blocks you already invested in it too much and cannot just take it back. So if you cannot find another shop, make sure to ask him for a price estimate and receipt with what he is exactly going to do. It’s a big lesson for me don’t trust people like this. I paid for this lesson and now am looking for another shop to fix my sewing machine.
Omg the worst thing you can do is give this guy anything to fix. Instead of fixing my machine he mess it up more. He had my sewing machine for over a month and only call me back because I called him to see if it was fix and if I was coming because he was closings. He actually broke a part that wasn't broke and now I have to find some another sewing machine repair shop. If I didn't check the machine before I left I would have taken it home to find all the things wrong with my sewing machine that we're before I gave it to him. He mess up my sewing machine. A simple fix is now a major problem. DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING.
Walked in and was helped right away. The owner was extremely knowledgeable about my machine even from a picture and he had exactly what I needed repaired. It was worth the 25 spent for a 10 minutes of work. Will be returning in the future for any work needed on my antique machines.
