Equipment Service & Repair

If something on your lawn mower, snowblower or trimmer isn't working, what do you do? Call the Ghostbusters? Nope, unless your mower is bordering on the paranormal. Call Sohars, that's why we have a service department. We're here to help whether your equipment is under warranty or not. Our skilled technicians will quote you an estimate for repairs and help advise you through the repair process. We are an authorized service center for all of our equipment lines and lots of other brands of equipment.

Whether you're trying to keep your machine in top condition or bring it back from the shed, our skilled mechanics have the experience and equipment to help you out. Need to fix a piece of equipment that doesn't fit in your car? No problem, check our pickup & delivery area and give us a call or schedule your equipment service online.

Everything brought into our service department operates under a "first come, first served" atmosphere. Our average turn around time during peak season is two and a half weeks. During the off season our average turn around time fluxuates between a week to a week and a half. The sooner you can bring the equipment in, the sooner the work can be completed.

Important Service Changes Beginning 1/1/22


Due to significant issues facing the outdoor power equipment industry, such as limited parts supply, limited brand support, and difficulty staffing technicians, we were forced to make the difficult decision to limit the equipment our service department is able to service for 2022. The following are the lists we will be servicing and the ones we will not be servicing. We realize that this will be frustrating for many of our long-term and loyal customers, but unfortunately many of the brands we serviced in the past it has been difficult to obtain parts to make timely and proper repairs. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
