you supprise me there, i have bought a few things there like a 660 and a blower plus bits n bats but i have never taken owt to be fixed, know a few lads who have tho and reports are very mixed, it dont seem the same place since the younger genaration took over, asked for a price on a pair of boots, got the phone call 3 wk later with price, by that time there was a new pair on my feet, its to far out for me as its near on 20 mile each way i just use Horns or Mowerpower as its now called only 2 mile down the road and i get a good service off them,

The use local dealer thing is fine if they work with you too. I bought a new £27k  mower a couple of years back. Small hose problem was told 3 weeks. So I did a check myself new washer and on the move 20 mins later.

My local one would be Farols.... and I bet you sure as hell wouldn’t  go there! ?So lucky to have dm saws within half an hour. I tried to cultivate a decent relationship with Richardson’s originally but they are a bunch of useless tossers. So yes, if I didn’t have dm saws close I’d buy online every time.

But quite pricey? Honey F@@kers are nearer me and usual a bit more competitive.

If you are a loyal customer I know they do the best that they can for you . Many a time I have been in there to buy some bits and bobs and asked if they could do a " quick fix " type job and its done for free .
