San Gabriel Vacuum

Owner is really nice. Came here to buy bags for my Kirby vacuum. Glad I found him on Unilocal & reviews did not lie. I hope they stick around for a long time.

I had two vacuums that needed repair. Even though it was out of my way to get here, I felt confident due to all the positive reviews. The 5 star reviews are spot on! The owner is very friendly and helpful (even walked outside to help me bring in my vacuums). Most importantly though, he does the job right the first time and fast!
He charges fair prices and honored a coupon I had from his website. I love supporting small businesses and this one shines with excellent customer service! In the future, for maintenance and/​or repairs of my vacuums, I will not hesitate to come here!

In and out same day!!! This place is a treasure, he seems to have everything for every vacuum. Kevin does all the work there on the premises. Very happy with my repair!

I took in two vacuums to get new belts. They had both belts, yay! Quick service at an xtra reasonable cost. The gentleman actually installed them (no xtra charge) double yay! Parking in front of store. Otherwise– extra parking in lot west of Mama Petrillo’s.

What a great experience. I was ready to toss my year old Floormate and get a new one as it had stopped working very well. I decided to try fixing it first as the part that I needed was inexpensive. I took my Hover Floormate in to get a new squeegee. Hover had run out of stock online so they recommended that I go to one of the local shops that they work with. I picked San Gabriel Vacuum because it was the closest to me. The owner was so nice to me. It’s a true mom and pop kind of place. Not only did he provide me the part for less than Hoover advertised on their website but he looked over the Hoover, turned it on and did a some cleaning to another part he thought might be contributing to the issues. He replaced the squeegee for me and still only charged me for that part. This is a great reminder that face-​to-​face interactions can be far superior to online ordering. If I ever need service for my vacuum or floor cleaner again I will definitely bring it here first.

I have been getting my vacuums serviced at SG Vacuum for years. Always the same guy, friendly, reasonable and efficient. I like spending my money at local businesses.

SHAME YOU SAN GABRIEL VACUUM!!! have actually never been on Unilocal or have left a review but after I was made aware of this joeys so called review I felt I had an moral obligation to speak up. I had been going to George’s with my parents as long as I can remember. I remember George’s even sponsored my little league baseball team a few times. I guess my mom started going to his shop even before she was my age with her mom. George’s has to have been there in temple city over 40 years! As I see it a small mom and pop business would never last that long if they didn’t provide a great service like I have always experienced. The last time I went into George’s I can tell something was bothering Charlie I asked him a few times and he finally told me about this Unilocal review left by «Joey» after we spoke about it for a while he told me he even has it on video thanks to the security cameras that are set up in his shop. It is so clear that this «joeys» review was a complete fabrication!!! I saw with my two eyes Charlie clearly going above and beyond helping this guy by replacing the belt right there at the front counter. And I already know from experience that your suppose to leave it if your having any work done. And what Charlie told me something along the lines of that they no longer make any new parts for whatever kind a vacuum he had but being in the business for so long he knew what kind of belt would still work. I can’t imagine what would motivate some one to pretty much slander a great small business that’s so rare nowadays. When I read that «review» I noticed that this so called Joey put a raving review for His competition on George’s Unilocal page its pretty easy to put two and two together. I told Charlie that he should put the video with a link on YouTube so everyone can see what really happened. Lastly like I’ve said my family has been going into Charlie’s shop for longer than I’ve been around, every vacuum we have bought or had serviced was at his shop and it will remain that way for as long as George’s is there. I strongly recommend that everyone disregard «joeys» review !! It’s pretty clear what this guys motives where by bad mouthing George’s and to go into a different shop that would be near by. SHAME ON YOU «JOEY» lastly I want to thank George’s vacuum for being such a gem and the great service you have provided for my family for decades. — –Ps a you tube video link will be posted on both San Gabriel’s and George’s site of a «joeys» real experience showing Charlie taking apart «joeys» vacuum at George’s vacuum and contradicting your «joeys» claims

I took my vacuum to Kevin at San Gabriel Vacuum today after George’s vacuum repair in Temple City told me that I had to work on the vacuum myself after selling me belts. In 10 – 15 minutes, I had a new belt and re-​assembled vacuum! I didn’t know that this shop was in Temple City.
I would have went here first, but had found George’s on Unilocal and it was a few minutes closer. They sold me the wrong belt and had me take apart my own vacuum and told me to reassemble. I wasted a Saturday morning there and still had a vacuum that didn’t work.
Thank you Kevin for being so generous! I hope everyone in Temple City goes to San Gabriel Vacuum for repairs or vacuum purchases.

Had some issues with a vacuum that was given to me a while ago. I’d heard about this place so I thought I’d give it a try. Boy was I surprised-​in a good way. Took it in and in no time he’d given me an estimate. I said ok and came back the next day and off I went with a cleaned up and fully working vacuum. My floors are clean and I’m happy. Thankyou SG Vacuum.

I can only second what others have said. Since there is no good vacuum repair in the Palm Springs area, where I live, I drove into Temple City yesterday with a small repair. The owner of this business not only fixed the issue, but did it for free! When I protested, he simply asked that the next time I need to have a vacuum cleaner serviced that I bring it to him. I will most assuredly do that. This kind of service is almost unheard of today.

I also have not only bought but have gotten my bags and belts from San Gabriel Vacuums. I was tired of blowing through the cheap vacuums from the big stores. So when I saw in the ads that this store carried Kirby. I knew I wanted to see what it was about. I knew my parents had one and they just kept having theirs rebuilt. I went in and he had a great supply of Kirby’s all at great prices. Even carried great refurbished ones at good prices. I know they are expensive but I also know they are bullet proof. The owner gave a great price and outfitted me with everything I needed. He has also been keeping supplied with everything in my kirby needs since I bought it. He is always friendly fast and professional. I love dealing with a small businessman that takes his business seriously. This man is a what small business is what we all want them to be. If you want a new or even are looking for a refurbished one because of price? Or, If you need your old one fixed Fast and Right? This is the place to come to.

Kevin the owner is awesome. Knows his stuff, friendly, and helpful.

To renew my warranty with Sears it would have cost me close to $ 300 (2 year warranty). Not worth it, because I have a really good vacuum and I’ve had it serviced twice (including this visit) in about 10 years. Didn’t know what to expect when I walked in this shop but thank sweet baby jeebus for this guy and his shop.
Took a look at the vacuum, saw some obvious problems, told me it’d be ready by 10 am the next day… I dropped it off around 3 pm. Go back the next day, told me how jacked up my vacuum was and he fixed it All. Guy was super polite, super friendly and professional as hell. I’ll be coming to this guy for all my vacuum needs. Oh the vacuum? Works like I just bought it. There was an extra piece or two that he needed to toss in there to work and he didn’t charge me for it. Oh and the price for the repair? $ 75 bucks.
You just can’t beat that. Quality service, affordable price, quality customer service and quick turn around. Just doesn’t get any better.

San Gabriel Vacuum’s all 5 star ratings are well deserved. I’m so glad to find this shop. I live in Pasadena and have previously used a local shop but was reticent to go back as the owner offered more unsolicited opinion than I was looking for. Initially, I was just looking for bags for my 25+ year Eureka canister. I called and found the owner to be very pleasant. I decided to take my vacuum in for a tune up as well and was told that I could have it back the same day! When I picked it up, not only was it tuned up, but he replaced the button covers that had broken off. There is an extensive selection of bags, belts, etc. I love being able to patronize local small businesses. So glad to have found San Gabriel Vacuum!!!

I needed a minor repair made to my vacuum cleaner and decided to check Unilocal for reviews. This was the closest shop that had consistent 5-​star reviews, so I decided to go here for my repair.
Wow, those Unilocalers are right, this place is great! I was in and out of there in about 2 minutes. The gentleman there was friendly and gave me great service. I couldn’t be more pleased at having made such a great find at a local shop. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family, and will keep coming here for repairs, supplies and even a new vacuum cleaner when my Hoover gives up the ghost.

I have Hoover Elite and needed a band. After 2 weeks of looking for it in the usual places, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, etc. I couldn’t find the correct one. Also looked online but it would take about 2 weeks to arrive. Even though it wouldn’t cost much, about $ 10 with shipping included, my carpet already had too much dust/​dirt on it from not vacuuming. I looked for local stores online and found this one so close to my house and with the BEST reviews so I went.
All reviews are absolutely true. Great and friendly customer service!!! I was in and out in 5 minutes!!! The owner actually installed the band for me and didn’t even want to charge me for it. Total cost $ 2.02!!! Will definitely buy here from now on and recommend the place to all my friends and family.

I have a Dyson vacuum that I love very much. It went kaput on me last week and I had no idea as to where to take it. I looked on Unilocal and found San Gabriel Vacuum. It was a little bit of a drive, but well worth it!
I took my vacuum in on Monday and almost immediately the gentleman (I believe the owner) diagnosed the problem and gave me the cost. My Dyson actually needed a lot more work than I anticipated, but inexpensive to fix. Best part was, I was able to pick it up the next morning.
I’ve had my Dyson repaired before (as the machine is about 6 years old) and last time I took it in it was in the shop (different shop) for over a week!
The gentleman that helped me was friendly and professional. Again, I believe he is the owner.

Wish I had known about this place years ago. An excellent job was done repairing my vacuum at fair prices. Highly recomment repairs here and purchase of new vacuums as well. We need to support small businesses in our communities, and this is a great way to do that and get good service and vacuum advice as well. Go there!

I’ve been here about 10 times over the last 15 years. The gentleman always fixes my vacuum right away and sometimes does not even charge me. I buy my bags here and I bought my last vacuum here. It gets a ton of abuse and it is about 5 years old now and still works great thanks to some TLC from San Gabriel Vacuum. This is a great place.

My parents got their now 30 year old vacuum from SG Vacuum.
So when I was tired of replacing the cheap-​O vacuums I was getting by with, I stopped by San Gabriel Vacuum and picked me up a great Sanitaire vacuum. It even came with a free canister vacuum!
Yeah, it cost a few hundred bucks, but for the past three years, I’ve only had to change the bag and replace the belt once! No issues!
M took the vacuum there this weekend to replace a belt (for the first time) and was smiling from ear to ear when he came home. «He was so nice! He changed it for free and told me what the best setting is… «and on and on.
M then asked me to Unilocal SG Vacuum and I thought «Of course! Why hadn’t I earlier?».
So, when you’re ready to get a vacuum that will last, or need any vacuum repair, stop by San Gabriel Vacuum. GREAT customer service, great prices, great business.
