Delivery delayed by Fed Ex and floods. Packaging not sufficiently taped on bottom. Items could have fallen out. Product excellent and well priced

Good price. Prompt delivery. But no phone number and no response to emails. Don’t expect a personal service.

Poor service

Took a Stihl leaf blower in as the carb needing looking at, 3 weeks later they called to say that they couldn't fix it and carbs for that model were not available anymore. Fair enough. I ordered a clone carb but when I went to install it I found that one of the fuel lines was trapped between the two halves of the case and the other had been ripped in two with the filter half at the bottom of the fuel tank. Both were fine when I handed it over. There was no way they could have tested the carb after they said they had cleaned it!. I called up to complain but they said there was nothing they could do as it was too late and I could have done it!
The moral of the story is that if you have to use them, check your equipment thoroughly before leaving the shop. Ideally go elsewhere for repairs.

Thank you for your feedback, and we're genuinely sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. We completely understand your frustration, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

As a Kubota Gold and Gold Plus Approved dealership, we take pride in the standards of workmanship and service delivered through our workshops. What you've described falls short of both your expectations and our own, and we are investigating the matter internally to understand exactly what went wrong.

While we were unable to source the original part due to manufacturer availability, we absolutely understand your concern regarding the condition of the fuel lines upon return. We always aim to handle equipment with care, and we regret that this wasn’t your experience.

Courteous and helpful staff

The staff was very helpful in discussing our requirements. The mower that we purchased was prepared and reserved for us to collect at a time suitable for us. We have been using the machine since getting it and is perfect for our current need.

Delivered but wouldn't trust.

Bought online. Best price paid for the Stihl FS55 but didn't receive the head mentioned in the description. Delivery was £7.99 which I thought was expensive for standard delivery but did dispatch quickly. No communication from company although I sent a couple of emails. Hoping the brush cutter doesn't have any issues.

I'm sorry you had this experience. We have changed the information on the listing to reflect the new FS55 kits.

Enjoy your new strimmer
