Best TLC in wilts area?

Not sure if right board or not.

I'm looking for a new place to take machines to be serviced. Preferably in the Wiltshire area but can go to surrounding counties.
For servicing I prefer word of mouth.

Mechanical machine, bonus if they do embroidery machines.

My Janome is currently working like a champ but has been doing a lot lately and is probably due a service in the next few months so figured I'd ask now to get the votes in!

Franklins in Salisbury  but they are seriously expensive!

Or this one:
https://trowbridge.cylex-uk.co.uk/company/west-wilts-sewing-machine-co-ltd-14710398.html

I went in there a day or so before lockdown to ask about servicing and would have taken my machine  in otherwise. I had a long conversation with one of the principals - it's a small family business, her son does the servicing. Although I haven't actually used them myself they have a good reputation locally. Servicing is (or was) £55 plus any parts needed.

Edited: Sorry @Syrinx - I got the wrong link. Have now amended it.

"Best TLC in wilts..."  I thought you were asking who was the kindest member in the area.  That would probably be @Greybird!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Tom Dilley Swindon. Still the most reasonable for servicing, he's worked continuously throughout the lockdown period. Would trust my Bernina machines to anyone else.

Give him a call.
