If you are near Shippensburg in central Pennsylvania, Martin’s is a wonderful full-service shop and they sell all types of Bernina sewing machines. Martin’s is owned by a Mennonite family and they are very friendly and give wonderful expert service. They have cleaned several of my machines, and they are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them! They don't have a web site.

This is a full service shop that has many Brother sewing and embroidery machines. They also carry many Baby Lock, Elna and Janome machines. Fabric and patterns are also available here. They are a Brother Authorized Service center and I highly recommend them to service your Brother machine. I took mine in and they fixed my machine to tip top shape and were very reasonable with their price.
