Found the positive reviews for Dyson vacuum repair here on Yelp. We were about ready to junk our dyson, but I decided to investigate further.
We took our rather old Dyson Animal in to this shop since it was no longer creating proper suction etc. We intended to leave it there for repairs, but the friendly service guy asked if we could wait and it was fixed in about 25 minutes! New clutch, roller brush, and replaced missing rubber suction ring-- all for $120. Much cheaper than buying a new one. They even carried the vacuum out to my truck.
Very professional, nice shop.
