**Please note! If your machine is still under warranty you may want to check your warranty to see how far you can dive into the workings of your machine. Some warranties are explicit about servicing only through your specific brand dealership. This class does not teach professional servicing, just deep cleaning.

Also, we are a Juki dealership so no worries if you have a new or old Juki.
