The workshop
that stands behind
what we sell.

Servicing, repairs and sharpening for engines, handheld equipment, lawn mowers, ride-ons and zero-turns, done in our Gatton workshop by people who actually know the machines.

We service everything we sell, plus most other common brands. Call us or send an email to book in. There's no online form, just a real conversation about what your machine needs.

Servicing

Indicative servicing rates

Three rough tiers depending on the machine. Every job is different, so these are starting points. We'll always call you with a quote before doing any extra work.

Tier 01 · Handheld

Blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers & small handhelds

Petrol & battery handheld equipment. Excludes chain sharpening (see below).

Some jobs need more time depending on age and condition, and we'll let you know before proceeding.

From $130 Avg $110 Labour + oil, parts & consumables required. Excludes Sharpening.
Tier 02 · Lawn & Mid-Size

Lawn mowers, water pumps, generators, larger machines

Walk-behind and self-propelled mowers, pressure cleaners, generators.

Tier 03 · Ride-On & Zero-Turn

Ride-ons, zero-turns & commercial machines

Tractor ride-ons, zero-turn mowers, COX, Ferris, Ariens and similar.

Zero turns and Ride-On's vary more because you're generally doing more than just servicing the engine. for e.g. Blades, belts, deck adjustments, wheels and tyres. A complete service is usually around $550 +/-.

From $250 Avg $165 - $220 Labour + oil, parts, consumables.

About these prices. Figures shown are general estimates for a standard service: labour only, plus any parts and consumables required. If extra work is needed, we'll always call you first for approval.

Repairs & Sharpening

Repairs, quoted up front. Chains and reels, sharpened on the spot.

Unusual repair jobs get a quote-fee inspection so we can give you a realistic number, and chains, blades, reels and bed knives are sharpened in-house, usually while you wait.

Please Note

What we can and can't service

We try to be upfront so you don't have a wasted trip. Here's a rough guide, and if your machine isn't on either list, just give us a call.

We can usually service

  • STIHL (we're an Elite STIHL Dealer)
  • COX, Greenfield, Ariens, Ferris,
  • Most common brands sold through Bunnings: Toro, Victa, Masport and similar
  • Machines powered by Briggs & Stratton, Kohler or Kawasaki engines
  • Many other reputable brands: Shindaiwa, Echo, Rover, McCulloch, MTD and similar

If you're unsure, just give us a call before bringing it in and we'll let you know whether we can help.

We may not be able to help with

  • Brands LMC doesn't service:
  • Ryobi - These are exclusive to Bunnings so we can't get parts
  • low-cost / unbranded models where parts aren't available to us
  • Equipment we'd need parts for from brands we're not authorised dealers for

In most cases you'll be better off taking these to an approved dealer. We may still be able to source aftermarket parts, so it's worth a quick call.

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot

Yes. We sharpen anything that can be sharpened: chainsaw chain, blades, knives, and cylinder mower reels.

For cylinder mowers we'll usually also replace the bed knife, which is the partner part to the reel and they really should be done together.

As an Elite STIHL Dealer, every STIHL product is pre-assembled, tested, run and demonstrated to you before you take it home.

We extend the same approach to the other brands we sell. The exception is small battery handhelds, which come sold in the box but are demonstrated using display stock where possible.

Yes, we can order products we don't normally keep in stock from any brand we sell. Special orders generally need either full payment up-front or a deposit.

We can't order parts from brands we're not authorised dealers for. If you're unsure, give us a call.

All warranty claims or suspected faults must be assessed before a refund or replacement can be issued. Products may be returned to the manufacturer for inspection, or assessed in our workshop.

These warranty processes operate in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Elite STIHL Dealer

Three reasons buying from a dealer matters

As an Elite STIHL Dealer, we do a few things that matter more than they sound, and we extend the same approach to the other brands we sell.

We assemble, test, and demonstrate
01 · Assembly & test

We assemble, test, and demonstrate

Every machine leaves the shop assembled, started, run, and shown to you in person, so you know it works and you know how to use it.

Garden power equipment specialists
02 · Right tool, right advice

Garden power equipment specialists

We take the time to understand the job you're doing and recommend the equipment that actually fits, not the most expensive one on the floor.

Local support & genuine parts
03 · Sales, operation & safety
