I have never bought from FR Jones in all the years I been in the job, and yes I agree with 100% but unfortunately it didn't work out for them,, I try to encourage the younger generation to use there local dealer as muchvas possible, last few saws I have locally bought and have only been 30 - 40 quid more than off the net, but when and if it goes tits up under warranty it gets sorted with in a couple of days at the most ,,,

This all day long !

Just need Radmore & Tucker and Sam Turner to start playing ball and the job might be a bit better for the local dealers

I try to use my local stihl dealer in Mid-Wales-Charlies,who have several stores in this region.Unfortunately, they're pretty crap tbh.No local stihl service shop its chucked on vans and goes to Newtown,same with ordering stihl parts-its commed to Newtown and often goes quiet for several weeks-or sometimes forever.Basically they're a cheap hardware chain of shops who I suspect Stihl have only appointed as dealers to 'fill a gap' in Mid-Wales.

I hear good things about Sam Turners.

I've used L&S alot for personal use, and for work purposes. I had one order that was held back due to one item not being in stock (stock error) but wasn't notified for 6 days. As soon as i called, they offered a similar item and the order was recieved 24 hours later.

 

I would also highly recommend Chainsawbars. Fantastic service, very knowledgeable and gave some friendly advice too. Easy to use service, and very responsive. Items arrived super quick and well packaged. 

 

It all depends on what you are after. Service items and oils, i'd use a local shop. But, the one that was local to me closed a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if there's one (decent) around the Retford area, or Chesterfield area.

Been using this crowd for years and always found their service excellent.

Can't vouch for what they're like dealing with problems because I've never had a problem with them.
