In a day and age where you can buy pretty much anything online, why should you purchase your outdoor power equipment from an authorized dealer? Does it really make a difference buying power equipment online versus in-person?
If you care about getting the most out of your equipment, it does.
Get the Best Equipment for Your Needs
Whether you’re a homeowner or a professional, dropping the funds on a new piece of equipment is a big deal. You want to make sure that you’re investing in the right machine for your needs. Comparing models online can be helpful, but if you really want to be sure you’re getting the right equipment, why wouldn’t you talk to someone who knows the ins and outs and can help you make sure you’re not buying too much (or too little) machine for your intended purposes? Whether you’re comparing two riding lawn mowers from the same manufacturer like the Gravely ZT and ZT XL or chainsaws from different brands like the Stihl MS271 VS Husqvarna 455 Rancher, knowledgeable dealers can help you make the smartest investment for your money and give you peace of mind with your decision.
Our goal at Carl’s Mower & Saw isn’t to just sell you a piece of equipment; it is to set you up for success with the right equipment for the job. From answering questions about specs to being a resource beyond the initial transaction, ditch the chatbots and talk with someone who isn’t just theorizing about how equipment might work in a given scenario.
Maximize the Life of Your Equipment
If you’re shopping online, there’s no guarantee where your nearest servicer is. When you shop through an authorized dealer, they are your best bet for securing reliable and qualified servicing. This is key to protecting your investment and maximizing its lifespan, from routine maintenance to diagnosing issues that arise. Without a reliable servicer for your equipment, you are likely buying yourself more headaches than you want to be dealing with.
At Carl’s Mower & Saw, we’ve got an outstanding in-house service department that is proud to service and perform warranty work on all of the units that we sell. Since 1990, we’ve worked hard to build our reputation for having the fastest turnaround in the industry. Our goal is to provide repairs in a timely manner (usually 5 days or less, even in the peak of the busy season), and we are transparent in our communication about repairs and costs so there aren’t surprises when you pick up your equipment.
More Than Just a Piece of Equipment
Whether you’re purchasing a new string trimmer, chainsaw, lawn mower, power washer, or any other piece of outdoor power equipment, it’s not just about the upfront price. It doesn’t matter if your applications are personal or professional; where you buy your equipment is going to impact your experience with it.
Does your equipment come assembled? Is it fueled up and ready to go? Is your warranty filed? Are you given a rundown of the important tips and tricks for operating your new equipment?
If you’re shopping online, you’re probably going to have a box show up on your doorstep with a manual and a piece of equipment that needs to be assembled/fueled up, and there will likely be some bonus reading materials about filing a warranty.
At Carl’s Mower & Saw, every piece of equipment we sell is assembled, fueled up, the warranty is filed, and we give you a rundown of the important tips/tricks that you need to know to get up and running with your new equipment. While this might not be the case for all authorized dealers, you have a higher likelihood of receiving this kind of service through an authorized dealer versus online, and again, you’re going to be connected with knowledgeable staff whose job it is to make sure you are confident in your purchase.
It’s worth taking the time to weigh these factors when you’re deciding where to buy your next piece of outdoor power equipment. Your future self will thank you.
