Phew. I'm glad of that one. I was about to start putting my price up aswell. Glad I'm going on the same level as you Justin.

Actually £60 inc vat and plug at moment, but going up to £75.00 shortly.

 

Dont be fooled by lists though, they look more impressive than they are.

 

Take for instance "Whilst apart check Starter mechanism and rope, pawls and tightness of flywheel."

 

That means pull out he recoil whilst visually checking the cord for fraying and making sure the knot stops the movement, not the spring. Let it snap back. Wiggle the pawls and check the springs are in place. Give the flywheel a quick rock.

 

That all takes around 30 seconds.

Wow, i did not want to hear that Justin, thats crazy cheap for about 3 hours work.

 

My service is good, but not as good as yours though as I certainly don't take the cylinder off every saw to decarbonise it.

 

Anyway, I'm still putting my price up.

 

Might even sub contract all my saws to you, any discount for bulk?

And I have slowed down even more since emigrating to Devon.

 

Just Cornwall left if I want to slow down even more:lol:

[spudulike]

I'd be interested to see what a "pro service" consists of. Do many "pro" users have their saws serviced?

Just take a look at my "whats on your bench" thread in the chainsaw section, it may hurt your head though but does show the diagnostics and checks techs do to fault find a saw issue.
