When Your Vacuum Stops Sucking (And Not in a Good Way)
- ⚡ Dead as a doornail? Plugged in but playing possum

Budget-Friendly Solutions
Before you drop hundreds on a new bag, let's try some anti-odor spray. We're not here to upsell—we're here to get your vacuum working right.
Three Generations of Know-How
Family-owned since '69. Ed might even show you the model trains while your vacuum gets the VIP treatment. (Yes, we said trains. It's a whole vibe.)
What Our Customers Say
Leonard's did a wonderful job repairing my 13-year-old Dyson. It works better than it has in years! The repair was completed in a timely fashion, communication was excellent, and the price was good, and best of all, my vacuum is back home and working again when I was afraid I'd have to buy a new one!
I had the extreme pleasure of going to the store today where my Kirby vacuum cleaner was fixed AS I WAITED! The young man sprayed the bag with anti-odor spray and we settled on the less costly solution (shocking I know!!!). Ed took me all around the store and showed off the trains which were a real hoot. All around a great experience!
