"The power motor on my canister vacuum stopped working and I saw that the cover of a wire was exposed. I brought the whole vacuum into Cathey's Vac & Sew. I had to wait a few minutes while the person behind the counter helped someone else. Then I explained the problem to him and said that I'd also like to trade the vacuum in for an upright. He looked at the power motor, told me what the repair would cost, and asked about the floors in my house. The floors are all tile and I have a Persian carpet in the living room. He explained that the vacuum cleaner that I have is best for those kind of floors and does a much better job than an upright; that I should use the power motor only for the carpet and the floor attachment for the tiles; and that the vacuum I have would sell for about $450 today (about $200 more than I paid for it years ago). He was knowledgeable, efficient, and obviously was not in a hurry to sell me something I didn't need. He told me how long the repair would take and that he would call when it was ready. He called a few days later to say that they were a bit behind and would need to take the weekend rather than having it ready by Friday, then called Saturday to say it was ready. I appreciated the call to let me know that they might be late, even though I wasn't expecting it to be finished that soon anyway. The cost was exactly as projected, $35. <br />"
