What's involved when servicing your machine?
We are not your average service agent.
We've broken mower servicing down into two main categories, a Commercial service and a Domestic service. The reason is machines that have domestic usage have little wear and tear in comparison with commercial usage. Commercial machines that have in-depth engine/drive issues will require a lot more time and spare parts to repair. When were fully servicing a machine, we like to make sure it is just like it was when it was new.
When we service a machine, it's more accurate to call it an overhaul/restoration because we are so thorough.
All petrol machines have their engine and drive systems stripped down, fluids drained and are then jet washed. This is mainly done so we can see for any failing parts that may be covered with debris. Electrical machines are hand cleaned.
All moving parts are inspected for correct function and any worn items (belts or bearings for example) are replaced. If the budget begins to creep up we contact you so there are no nasty surprises.
Every service job has the following replaced: air filter, recoil rope, spark plug, oil and diaphragms.
The carbs are all thoroughly cleaned using compressed air and then take a bath in our heated ultrasonic cleaner. Worn diaphragms/gaskets are replaced and then the carb is tuned.
Blades are sharpened and set (or replaced if really worn), cables are lubricated and adjusted.
We take pride in our craft and every service comes with a three month guarantee. Our work will not let you down!
(accidental damage, misuse or excessive wear and tear excluded).
