Visiting a Power Equipment Service Department

Like anything else you use on a regular basis, your power equipment is going to need some maintenance to ensure its proper functioning. You don’t want to neglect your equipment, only for it to seriously break down or simply fail to turn on, interrupting your work day. Also, malfunctioning equipment is extremely dangerous.

While you can probably perform a lot of upkeep tasks in your garage, there will be occasions that you need to bring your power equipment into a service department. Here’s a quick guide to help you know when to contact a service bay, how to get ready for your visit, and what you can expect when you get there.

When to Seek Service

Any time you don’t know how to repair your power equipment, you should get in touch with the professionals. You never want to attempt a repair that could go awry. If you don’t have the right tools for the repairs you need to make, this is another time when you’ll want to contact the pros. Even if you can do everything at home most of the time, it’s still a good idea to bring your power equipment into a service department at least once a year for intensive maintenance.

How to Prepare

First off, it’s a good idea to contact the service department to schedule an appointment in advance. Trying to bring your power equipment into a repair shop when you don’t have a pre-arranged appointment probably won’t go very well, since these departments are really busy and have a lot to do.

Next, clean your equipment and take note of all the issues you may be having with it. Being able to inform the mechanic about the problems you’ve experienced will help them to get to work faster on what’s wrong. If you’re just bringing your power equipment in for routine maintenance, this step isn’t necessary.

What to Expect

Service departments will offer a wide range of options, including basic and advanced maintenance services as well as repairs. If you’re looking for a minor tune-up, you’ll want to check out the options provided for more basic service visits. Yearly maintenance will probably be more intense and more costly to ensure that your power equipment is thoroughly examined and every part is addressed.
