“I searched for local vacuum repair shops. Willett popped up and I decided to give them a call knowing I had Shark vacuum. My son mistakenly got a cat toy hung in the hose and I for the life of me could not get it lose. I went into the store … and was greeted by a man who was really nice. Ben, then came from the back and was able to get the cat toy out the vacuum hose. When I say the customer service was phenomenal, I mean that.” – Jasmine S.
Common Vacuum Repair Services
A vacuum cleaner is one of the most important appliances in a household. It helps maintain an environment that is free of dirt and dust. When your vacuum starts to lose suction, overheat, or make unusual noise, it’s time to bring it in for expert service.
We repair upright, canister, bagged, and bagless models. From clogged hoses to electrical issues, our team has the experience and tools to get your vacuum back in working condition.
What to Know About Vacuum Repair Costs
Repairing a vacuum is usually more affordable than replacing it. The cost depends on the severity of the issue and how much time is needed to fix it.
The most common reason for a vacuum cleaner breakdown is clogs. Most of the time, these clogs can be fixed by using a simple suction tool or by replacing the bag with a new one.
Vacuums also need regular maintenance to stay in good condition and last longer. This includes cleaning filters, replacing belts or bags, and inspecting for cracked hoses or worn parts.
Minor vs Major Vacuum Repairs
Understanding the difference between a minor and major repair can help you save money and time.
Minor repairs include replacing a belt, filter, or hose. These are quick fixes that don’t require much labor.
Major repairs involve more complex issues like damaged electrical cords or internal components. These take more time and may require ordering replacement parts.

Common Vacuum Cleaner Problems and Solutions
Not sure what’s wrong with your vacuum? Here are a few typical problems we see and how they’re usually fixed:
- Vacuum won’t turn on – Check for a clogged hose or filter. If the problem persists, bring it in for a diagnostic.
- Vacuum is too noisy – Hair or debris may be wrapped around the roller brush. Clean it out or let us handle it.
- Vacuum isn’t picking up dirt – You might have a clog or a worn-out filter. We can restore full suction.
- Vacuum feels too heavy – If it’s becoming hard to manage, we can recommend a lighter model that suits your needs.
