I have to say that the X450 (Alfred - Batman’s butler) is all it was rumored to be. It really is plug and play meaning the auto mapping function is well thought out with no need to adjust anything on... See more

Robot lawn mower installation

I had a robot lawn mower installed; from the initial enquiry to the working installation everything went smoothly. The installer was efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. Very happy with the entire process.

Great customer service

Great customer service. I ordered a toy strimmer for my grandson but didn’t realise it was on back order until September. I phoned the store and the gentleman was so helpful. I was immediately offered a refund or an alternative product. Fortunately there was another type of strimmer in stock so my order was amended. The order was dispatched that day and has now arrived! The gentleman also popped in some key rings which was very kind. Highly recommend!

A happy grass cutter!

A telephone conversation confirmed the company had the mower I wanted. It arrived in good time and I was kept updated regarding delivery.

Repairs cost £1348.22

I contacted Ron smith to collect and service my Husqvarna ride on mower. I also mentioned the rear idler pulley would need changing. Ron Smith quoted £132 to collect and deliver the mower and £300 for the service. Four days after collecting the mower a woman from Ron Smit phoned me to say that their mechanic and inspected the mower and found a number of issues including belts, spindle bearings deck wheel bearings, gear box oil. She told me the cost of rectifying the faults they had identified would be £1384.22. They had not carried out any of the work I had asked them to. I immediately advised Ron Smith I did not want them to carry out any work and that they should return the mower to me. I saw this estimate they provided as a sordid and squalid attempt to extract as much money from me as possible. The woman at Ron Smith had the brass neck to tell me they would charge me £72 for the estimate, an estimate I did not ask them to provide or authorise them to undertake. Ron Smith see me as a cash cow to milk for as much money as they possible thought they could get away with. Ron Smith has no credibility with me and I will never entrust hem with any work in the future. Beware.

Dear Mr Long,
Having listened to the conversation you had with the lady in our workshops, from this conversation it was very clear that we had done as you asked, when booking in your machine. We stripped down the machine to find out the problem you were having with the idler pulley as discussed, this then clearly showed that the machine had excessive play due to failed deck bearings, a worn transmission belt and that the pulleys had worn which you stated you wanted looking at. There was corrosion in the deck, along with the mulch plate too, we also suspected that the incorrect transmission oil has been used in the machine. You mentioned that you have never been happy with your machine and that it has cost you over £700 a year in repairs on this machine, which may I add that this machine has never been into our workshops before. You did request the machine to be sent back to you and that you were happy to pay the costs for the return according to the telephone conversation. Estimate charge to you was the time it took for the engineer to strip down the machine and find out the parts needed for the repair. The estimate cost is printed on the job sheet, which was given to you when our driver collected the machine. We would never undertake any work that you did not want to do, hence the reason for the call with an estimate before any repair or service was carried out.
I am sorry you feel the need to write this review, but please be assured that we had done everything you requested us to do.
