Petrol, battery or ride-on, any brand. Diagnosed, priced, fixed and test-run before you collect it.

For homeowners and contractors

Homeowners usually come in once a year, before spring. Contractors come in whenever a machine lets them down. We look after both, and we’ll tell you honestly when a repair costs more than the mower is worth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our relatively newer mower refused to start last week.  The shop we bought it from had a five week backlog of service work so we called Paul at Total to see if they could look at it for us.  Total took good care of our last mower before it was replaced about 4 years ago.  Today, they diagnosed the problem with our Masport 550 mover and had it starting again within few minutes.  Replaced the spark plug and cleaned the air filter all for a minimal charge.  Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul’s was excellent, we dropped the chainsaw off at 2pm in the afternoon and it was ready the same day. The best service and experience from any mower shop.
