What You Need To Know About Makita Parts
There is nothing more frustrating than when you are using a power tool and something pops or snaps and then there is smoke. Maybe you just bought it or maybe you have owned the tool for years but either way you would like to know if it is time to get a new power tool or maybe this one can be saved. If you own Makita power tools then you may be able to get Makita parts to help you salvage your power tool or you may even be able to drop off your Makita power tool to one of the more than 1,000 Makita authorized service centers in the United States where they will use nothing but quality Makita parts. But what if you want to save on labor and do it yourself? There are many resources available to you but you may want to exhaust all of your options before investing in Makita parts and trying to do the repair yourself.
Check and see if your tool is still under warranty. You can do this by calling Makita or checking on the Makita service website by using the serial number of the tool. If the damage is caused by normal wear and tear, and the tool is still under warranty, then you may be entitled to repairs at little or no cost to yourself. Just contact the Makita authorized service center closest to you, which you can find by searching on the Makita website or calling Makita directly, and arrange a repair with them. You can rest assured that they will be using genuine Makita parts to do the repair and your power tool may come back to you in better shape than when you dropped it off. Never hesitate to make your first move in researching repair options for your Makita power tool to be a warranty check because you never know if the tool is covered unless you check and you can know that a Makita authorized service center will be using genuine Makita parts.
Getting Parts On Your Own
There are several sites in the internet that can sell you genuine Makita parts to repair your power tool and you may be able to talk to a Makita authorized service center about purchasing genuine Makita parts from them directly. Do not be surprised if the service center will not sell you Makita parts as part of their dedication to the Makita name is making sure repairs are done properly. But it is worth asking. If you cannot get them from a service center then there are many sites online that will offer you genuine Makita parts but you will more than likely have to wait 10 to 14 days for delivery as many of the parts need to come directly from Makita themselves.
Makita is constantly updating and reengineering their products for quality and durability so the part you get for your power tool may not look exactly like the one you are replacing. Just go ahead and replace it and then carefully check to see if it works. If you experience problems then contact the dealer you bought your Makita parts from and talk to them.
