While you can often perform minor repairs to your power equipment at home with the right tools and know-how, there will always be situations where it’s best to consult a professional. You don’t want to injure yourself trying to fix something complex, nor do you want to damage or even destroy your equipment! 

Because keeping your power equipment maintained is so important, we’ve provided you with some information on when you should seek out professional assistance with power equipment upkeep and what you can expect from the service department.

When Should I Call the Pros?

Any time you feel like a repair task is beyond your skill level or you don’t have the tools to address it at home, you should get in touch with a mechanic. Trying to fix your power equipment on your own with the wrong tools or the incorrect technique could injure you or damage your equipment, or both! It’s also a smart idea to bring your power equipment to a professional to have it looked over on a yearly basis, in addition to keeping it maintained at home.

How Can I Prepare? 

First, make an appointment with your local service department. While some places might be able to accommodate you on a walk-in basis, you should never expect or depend upon this, especially during summer, when service departments will be at their busiest. Making an appointment means that your mechanic will have the time and space to address your issues promptly so you can get back to work sooner.

You should also make notes of whatever issues you’ve been having so that your mechanic can know what to look at first. Describe the problems and the specific parts that seem to be affected. If a part has broken, bring it in with the equipment so your mechanic can find a replacement more easily.

What Can I Expect?

When you visit a service department, you can either get a basic or an advanced service on your equipment. Minor repairs will be less expensive because they’ll take less time to fix. If something big is wrong, though, the repair will be more advanced, so the service will be more expensive.
