Why Service your machine?

Just like a car, your machine needs to be serviced regularly. They are designed to require maintenance to keep them in good working order. Notice your steam guns losing pressure after a while? Your machine may be due for a service. 

Regularly servicing can make the difference between it running smoothly and efficiently, and the risk of incurring an expensive repair. Regularly servicing will improve the machine's performance and increase the life span of your machine. 

There are two options, you can either service your machine yourself, or we can service your machine for you.
