York Sewing Machine Care & Repair Center was founded by Alfred Ernest Kocobashi, who has been serving the sewing machine industry in Toronto since 1992.

Alfred was a factory trained engineer who led the service department of Swiss Sewing Machine Brand, ELNA Canada. He was in charge of all technical aspects of ELNA Canada providing warranty repairs, training of independent ELNA dealers, managing the parts department, trouble-shooting, and factory testing of new designs and feature improvements.  

Alfred then worked for the next 20 years as a subcontractor technician of top sewing machine brands, and clothing factories in Toronto providing multi-brand technical support and repairs. With over 30 years of extensive experience to meet the critical need for high expertise in this industry, Alfred established York Sewing Machine Care & Repair Center to provide support to sewers of East York, North York, Scarborough and all customers in Greater Toronto.

Our Center is located conveniently at 887 O’Connor Drive with easy access to 401 and Don Valley Parkway as well as just a 15-minute drive to downtown Toronto. It can be accessed through the TTC by the 70 O’Connor bus from Coxwell station, the 91 Woodbine from Woodbine Station, and the 8 Broadview from Warden station.
