Hello Jean,
I am not sure if your machine is computerised or not but the price seams like an absolute rip off, if you are in the UK Brother used to send engineers out from the factory at Brother, Shepley Street, Audenshaw, Manchester, it would be wise to contact them, rather than pay out that extortionate price at least you will only pay the call out charge and get a true assessment of the cost.
