Red light
Brush roll light red. Hair or debris stopped the roll. Still red once cleared? A worn roll or its motor.
Shuts off
Shuts off mid-room. It overheated: full cup, dirty filters or a clogged hose. Shark says cool 45 minutes.
Suction
Weak suction. A packed foam or felt filter, or a blocked wand or hose.
Battery
Cordless fades fast. The battery is worn. Many Shark packs come out; we swap yours.
Also common: a burning smell. Stop using it. Usually a slipping belt or a jammed brush roll.
Free estimate while you wait.
Free quick check, straight answers.

“I brought my Shark Vacuum in because of concerns that the roller might be damaged. Tyler Stark disassembled the vacuum, checked it over, reassembled it, ran it, and assured me it was OK.”

Shark’s own repair service vs. Stark’s
We’re not a Shark dealer. We repair Shark vacuums at all 5 stores.
| Shark’s own repair service | At Stark’s |
|---|---|
| No receipt, no claim. Original owner with a receipt only. Gifts and secondhand don’t qualify. | Gift or secondhand? We fix it anyway. |
| Call, ship it, pay to get it back. A phone claim, about $20 return fee, then a wait. | No shipping. We quote it at the counter; most are done in a week. |
| Replaced, not repaired. Often a swap with as little as 6 months’ coverage. Wear parts excluded. | Only the failed part gets replaced, so you keep your Shark, with our 90-day warranty. |
Shark jobs we do most: brush rolls · belts · batteries · hoses · cords

“I explained it was making a loud noise and he said oh it is probably the belt! He took it apart and replaced the belt and it worked like a charm again. He even gave me a useful tip on the carpet setting.”
