Had a Bissell bagless unit that had a hose break that was in a weird spot my husband and I could not fix so I found this place on yelp. Dan the owner clearly knows his stuff and even though his not overly warm he's knowledgeable and honest ( great business owner qualities these days right?) He mostly caters to bag vacuums but he still worked with me tin repair mine. He took my unto in the back and found a way to repair it for me right then. He did stop to help another customer midway but that was no problem for me to slow down and wait. $30 later I have a working vacuum and a new go to place for service needs. Grateful places like this still exist !!! read more

Very high quality service! These guys have more knowledge than Hoover on vacuums... Very reasonable and honest business practices. read more

Moonlite Vacuum & Sewing Center - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Quality service every time. I've purchased vacuum cleaners over the years here. They also do a great job of servicing vacuum cleaners. Professional and knowledgeable owner. Five stars. read more

Was experiencing an issue where my vacuum was turned on it's stopping immediately after I knew what the various brands the shop sold. They have experience with Maen. It's been around a long time and I've seen it when I used to be in that area, so it came to mine to go back to them even though I live a good 30 minutes away. All I can say is -- exceptional service was received. Dan sensed that I wanted my vacuum back, I made no mention of it, but just asked when it would be ready. He called me within three days and had my vacuum ready. He also gave an extra part to me as he mentioned he had it laying around! Dan is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. My vacuum has not sounded and performed this good since new (17 years ago?) it's still in exceptional shape. I routinely take it apart and clean out the areas by the roller and so forth, but this is next level!! I will continue to patronize the shop for all my needs in relation to my vacuum. Do yourself a favor and go there if you are looking for a good vacuum or in need of vacuum service. The value of having somebody familiar with your type of vacuum, and the years of experience, this man has is worth the money paid. You know you will get top level service and not have to worry about it not being done correctly. read more

Did a great job tuning up repairing my 10-year-old car upright vacuum cleaner I wasn't expecting the cleaning and all the other extras he did but he did a damn fun job read more

I'm glad this place is still around! For the same price as ordering from a website, I could instead go touch the thing before buying. I ended up changing my mind on which Miele model I bought after trying them out. read more

Wow! I walked in with my Bissell vacuum cleaner, not working and left not too much longer later with it fixed, a used replacement spinning brush installed, and for a very reasonable price. highly recommend! Plus, there's some fabulous antique items to look at like old vacuum cleaners, sewing, and a wall phone like you would see in 1920's movies. read more

You never know how much you need your vacuum until it stops working. I called Dan on a Thursday afternoon and he said he had space for me to bring mine by. It was an easy culprit- my mess of curls tangled in the spools and he dislodged it promptly for a mere $20. Always happy to support a small business for such an affordable price and prompt service. Never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait to go home and clean! read more

Great service The owner is very helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive I bought a used vacuum and a new carpet cleaner from Moonlite. Fairly priced. Very satisfied with my purchases Would recommend Moonlite read more

I went to Moonlite a few days ago for a sewing machine tuneup, only to be told that they're now focused exclusively on vacuums. But he helpfully added that their former sewing machine repair expert, John, can now be found at All Things Clean vacuum & appliance repair @ 457 N. Santa Cruz Ave in Los Gatos, (408) 354-4460. (Note: I have yet to make it over there to check in with John, but thought I'd share what I learned to save others a trip to Moonlite). :-) read more

Late on a Friday, I needed an Oreck XL repair. Found Dan at Moonlite Vacuums. I asked if he's located where the Moonlite bowling alley used to be. He said yes, so I knew instantly where he was located. He diagnosed the problem over the phone and said he could fix it while I waited. This was shocking because he was about to close. I dashed over and he fixed it while I waited. Then the cost was a pleasant surprise as it was less than the cost of dinner for two. The max Yelp score is 5 stars. He deserves 6 Yelp stars. read more

Excellent and reasonable work done here on my Dyson Stick Vacuum. I was ready to give up on it and Dan knows his stuff, and is incredibly helpful. I feel I can keep this vacuum now for a long time, and left my worries behind. Love the shop too. He has good revamped vacuums and sewing machines, and the odd antique items tucked in for fun. read more

You don't find too many of these around. I needed a vacuum filter in a pinch on Labor Day and he was in the shop. Had the part I needed (or close enough) and showed me how to clean the secret hidden filter. Great service. read more

I love supporting locally family owned businesses! And this one is a diamond in the rough! Is there anything more frustrating than a vacuum that stops working? I wish I would have known about this place sooner as I am the Queen of breaking vacuums! No more buying new ones! I will just get them repaired! read more

Great service, his kind and respectful , located in a big plaza in Santa Clara, on el camino real, lots of parking available, a lot of vacuum /supplies sold as well as repair work read more

Dan, who owns this shop is a great guy. He is an expert on vacuums - refurbished ones, servicing, new ones. I like to give him my business and keep these local shops around. Dan is very knowledgeable about vacuum cleaners. This is so useful when you have a problem with your pricey vacuum you bought at Costco and need to fix it. Vacuum bags are also sold here, saving you the bother of searching for them online and risking the wrong bag purchase. I get all my vacuum bags here. This store sells sewing machines too, and services some of them. What a joy to have this resource close to home with a knowledgeable service person and a variety of appliances to choose from including bags and sewing parts. Old fashioned, personalized customer service, easy access, fun to visit, great selection of appliances and parts, and very personable owner. What is not to like? read more

Visit-1: I take my Dyson upright in for a new cord plug because one prong is suddenly way shorter than the other. Visit-2: I bring my Dyson home, after paying $89.50 for the repair. Moonlite also replaced some part they felt was broken, replaced my motor with a used one they had in the shop, and cleaned the filters and tank thoroughly, all at no additional charge. Visit-3: I try vacuuming with my very fragrant-smelling Dyson. After about 3 rooms of vacuuming, it suddenly made a very different quality of air sound, like it had sucked up something it shouldn't have. It then quit moving forward. So, I took it back to Moonlite. The gentleman with whom I had been dealing discovered that the filter inside the roller ball was loose. He pushed it in until it clicked into place and sent me on my way. Visit-4: I try vacuuming again. The motor cuts out a couple of times, but I manage to get the vacuum restarted and continue. Then, while vacuuming the fourth room, there is suddenly a very different quality of air sound, and it quits rolling forward again! I took the vacuum back to Moonlite AGAIN, and asked for either my money back OR them to repair and deliver it. The gentleman with whom I had been dealing gave me back my money and apologized for all the trouble I'd had. (Otherwise, this would have been a 1-star review!) CONCLUSION: I've made FOUR trips to Moonlite Vacuum, from which I've achieved a new working plug and a couple much more serious problems that weren't present before! I'm guessing it will cost me a lot more than $89.50 to get some other shop to fix whatever Moonlite broke.... read more

I went to Moonlite Vacuum and Sewing because my wife's seeing machine was not working. Dan gave me an estimate and the possible time when the machine is going to be done. It was done be the next day. The machine only needed maintenance and he did a test run on the machine and showed me the stitches the machine made. I feel comfortable recommending Moonlite to anyone who needs their sewing machine repaired. Knowing that my wife's machine needs yearly maintenance. I will come back every year to Moonlite Vacuum and Sewing. read more

My first time here. Completed repairs on budget and two days early. Asked us if we needed new bags and saved us a trip back.

Another awesome service 9 years later. Fast turn around. He asked if I wanted to leave it (overnight?) for service. But after a second of hesitation. The owner offered to do it right away. Took about 15 minutes. A little higher prices ice for the service (or more in depth cleaning of the brush, installation of a new belt). But belt and bags were about the same. Out the door for $35. Go support this local business! read more

i was almost going to throw my vacuum cleaner when I found this place on Very affordable.. read more

I'm very happy that I found Dan for the repair of my 15-year-old Dyson Animal vacuum. He is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, straight talking, and honest. He'll tell you exactly what he's going to do, when it will be done, and give you a good idea of what it will cost. Then he does exactly what he says. I only wish that every business person was just like Dan. read more

Puppy chewed right through my Dyson vacuum cleaner cord I was devastated until I called this spot ...new longer cord new filter and cleaned up and tuned Up for less than $100 great save great service read more

The best place for KIRBY vacuum sales and for KIRBY parts, they not only specialize in Kirby but they have many high quality vacuum and floor care machines... I was tired of spending money on Plastic Shark vacuums and I found that I was replacing my Vacuum almost every year, my Grandmother would come to this place for years so I thought I'd give it a try well this place does not disappoint! If you spend a little bit more on a steel metal vacuum then and if you take care of your machine then you don't have to continue wasting your money on cheap plastic shark or Dyson vacuums!! BUY KIRBY!! And buy the BEST!! THANK YOU read more

If you own a vacuum cleaner or a sewing machine, or want to purchase one and you live anywhere near Santa Clara and you don't go here, well then you are crazy. These people are the salt of the earth of vacuums and sewing machines. It is totally old school, the kind of place that has not changed for decades. All the people that work here are experts in what they do. They have no interest in trying to scam you, they will tell you the truth and recommend only what is needed. My mom purchased a Panasonic vacuum here over 15 years ago on their recommendation and it has worked like a dream since then with an occasional tune up by these nice people. They also serviced our sewing machine and got it right back on track. They only carry the type of products that they know are well made and worth the investment. We bought a few of the regular grade vacuums from Sears (Eureka, Hoover) before we found Moonlight, only to have them break down very quickly. Our last experience with them was a switch replacement for our Panasonic. When we mentioned that they had tuned it up recently, they remembered and told us they would only charge us $25 for the repair. This kind of service just doesn't happen with big chain type of places. Keep the small business thriving and get great service too! read more

Like the other two Yelpers have said, this place is more of a get in, get out type place. I needed sewing needles for my machine and this place is within walking distance. They're got your basic sewing stuff. Not only did I get a set of needles and a set of ballpoint needles, I picked up a seam ripper and a tomato pincushion. It's nice to know that there's a place I can go to within walking distance of my house if the needle on my Brother ever breaks again. read more

I'm impressed! My vacuum cleaner failed and I realized it had lost a nut. Not a standard nut (it's a left-hand thread). I went in and they dug through their parts drawer and gave me one. Would not take any money, so I bought some filter bags. Dan, the second-generation owner, is friendly, knows vacuums, and gives good, old-fashioned, honest service. read more

I've been going here since 1985. I bought several vacuum cleaners and a ton of bags! I brought my Hoover Max Extract Steam Vac in yesterday because the brushes weren't spinning. I did a Google search to see if I could troubleshoot the problem but I wasn't able to fix it. When I took it in to Moonlight I figured I would drop it off and hopefully pick it up the next day. They took a look at it right away and let me know that the turbine that turns the brushes was broken. It would take a few days to get a new one and repair it but after some discussion about cost of repair versus buying one of their floor models, I decided to do the latter. The price was right and I could continue with my cleaning project! While I was waiting for the guy to check out my old steamvac, I sat with the owner and talked about how business was going. He doesn't see as many vacuums as he used to but his repair business is keeping him and his son very busy. Was glad to hear that since I have always counted on them to fix my broken appliances! read more

Highly Recommended for repairs or maintenance I saw the nice reviews and decided to call Moonlite. Dan answered the phone. My Kirby 5G has a kinked power cord and would cut out. So I asked him how much would it cost to replace the cord. He said he may be able to repair the cord and save me the $40 replacement cord. Right then I decided this is the right place. I am a handy person and have all the tools necessary, I have no doubt that I can fix it myself. But because Dan has the same mindset that I have, I decided to take it to him. It took him less than 2 hours to fix the cord and to do a tune-up on the unit. The Kirby came back humming like new! read more

Referencing a rant I did last year about how repair shops used to be the biz in the valley. No kidding, right? I mean, they're still here, albeit not as much as they used to be. Moonlite Vaccum & Sewing is a throwback to that era. A regular stop back in the day when my parents needed a filter for their Silverking vaccuum. It used to crack me up because the filter sorta looked like an overgrown communion wafer. Silverkings were the biz too. This old school vac and drag looked like R2D2 and seemed to be a favorite among Filipino households. Rolling up on a recent visit and inquiring about trade-ins (they do!), me and the owner reminised a bit of the past and both parted with acknowlelgement of making one's day. The vaccuums may have changed, but the store still looks the same. Awesome read more

I have small janitorial business and we needed to buy new vacuums for our employees. I saw this place's Yelp review and called them. The owner Dan explained to me exactly what I needed for the business I'm in. I called right at closing but he said he would stay open an extra hour for me to come down and take a look at his vacuums. Upon arriving he was waiting for me and walked me through all the models of vacuums and gave me his recommendation for the best vacuums for the type of business I was in. The vacuums were strong, lightweight, and extremely durable. He also walked me through how to keep them operatiing for many years with littlest of maintanence. He also threw in some free bags and didn't charge me for extra accessories. I walked out of the store with 4 new vacuums and have been back since to buy 2 more. Not only did this man keep his store open for me for an extra hour but he also was in no rush and took the time to educate me on each vacuum and recommend the exact one needed for my business. Moonlite will be by business's vacuum provider for years to come. Thank you Dan! btw: my employees love their new vacuums!!! read more

This is the best place to purchase a vaccuum. They have OUTSTANDING customer service. I have purchased my vacuums from here and I am so satisfied with the out come. Dan has always helped me with cleaning or needing a new belt or with any kind of maintenance that I need. Everyone that works here is super helpful as well. I won't purchase any vaccuum supplies or vacuums anywhere else. read more

I needed the hose I purchased from Amazon installed, which Dan gladly agreed to do while I waited. When I saw how clean and professional the shop was, I asked him to do a complete tune up and clean up. At first he asked me to return in a few days but agreed to have it done later that same afternoon per my request. He did a complete job, even detailing the outside of the machine. It looks AND runs like new. My new go to place for my vacuum. read more

Stopped by here for a belt.... get in... get out... quick stuff. Belt cost me $2 I think. Sorry... I don't usually go to vacuum maintenance stores for socialization. read more

I brought my Bissell vacuum in because the brush 'melted'. They have seen it before and they happened to have an almost brand new brush they sold to me for less than half price! I got a belt and they put it together for me right there! All for less than $20! My friend will be bringing his sewing machine in next to get it overhauled! These guys are great! If I have any other vacuum problems I will be coming here! read more

Came in today to see what my local vacuum and sewing center had to offer as I've recently gotten into sewing and I'm so very glad I did. Got to meet Dan and his dad (?) who you can tell are very kind and honest folks. They offer some vacuums and sewing machines for sale and also do repairs. They have a small assortment of sewing notions for sale and I will definitely be back for these! I saw Schmetz and Singer sewing needles, Maxi lock thread, smaller spools of thread, seam rippers, bobbin cases, a variety of presser feet and more. I hope my existing vacuum cleaner dies soon (for good) so that I can come back and buy that nice Miele I tried out, haha! read more

So far, yeah I'm a fan. They sold me the most expensive vacuum I've ever had the delight to own. On the other hand, it's cheaper than a BMW. Performs like a BMW tho. Silly thing is eerily quiet yet will suck up the tail off my dog. Who is none to happy to have this silent demon cleaning in his path. Disclosure: I knew what I wanted, checked out Yelp, found these guys & bought the $$$ sucker from them. Plus: they threw in bags & an accessory I was especially interested in. My experience was way better than the local BB&B; I got to take the gizmo for a test drive. With the local BB&B, no one expressed any interest in my potential purchase. Too bad for them, outstanding for the local guy who has been around for a long. time. read more

They will work their hardest to fix the problem with your vacuum cleaner. When I dropped off my vacuum he told me a couple days....he called the next day and told me it was ready. When I went to go and pick it up there was a little problem with the handle, so I walked down to savemart to grab a couple things, came back...and there it was all ready to go....which he carried to the car for me. read more

It is so wonderful to patronize a mom and pop style business in the heart of Santa Clara. Repairs to my vacuum were done and ready right when they said they would be. I even brought my sewing machine in for service and upon their inspection found that my problems were simply operator error. Yahoo! read more

This was my first time to Moonlite. It appears to be a wife and husband owned shop. Very calm and peaceful atmosphere. They sell/fix vacuum cleaners and sewing machines. Both husband and wife are super friendly. I brought my Kirby vacuum which was a mess. The husband figured out the problem right away while I chatted with the wife. He was very caring about my vacuum and explained how I could avoid the problem in the future, and how to operate it. He even helped me to carry the heavy vacuum cleaner to my car! Great experience at Moonlite, highly recommend it! read more
