Garden and forestry equipment repair and servicing in Tartu

The Saemeister garden and forestry equipment workshop is in Tartu, Aardla 25. Labour costs €50 per hour for brands sold by Saemeister and €60 per hour for other equipment.

As a service, we offer repair and maintenance of forestry and garden machinery, as well as robotic mower installation. Our mechanics have long-standing repair experience with ongoing further training. At Saemeister, every area has its own dedicated specialists: two mechanics for two-stroke chainsaws and brushcutters; a mechanic for lawn tractors and front-cut ride-ons, a lawn mower mechanic, and two robotic mower specialists. We have a very large spare-parts stock, which sometimes even includes parts that have become hard to find. Before you give up on a machine – bring it to us – we may be able to repair your tool.

As something new, you can arrange your machine's repair on our website and also order transport to the repair and back. To do so, fill in the repair order on this page:https://saemeister.ee/remonditellimus/and await our feedback.

Please note:

  1. Heavily soiled a cleaning fee of €30-50 may be added for cleaning machines.
  2. The cost of the repair is based on the current price list, and only work that has been ordered or agreed with the customer is carried out. The cost of the repair and any additional work may be agreed by phone, text message or email. Consent given by phone is recorded in Saemeister OÜ's repair order details.
  3. Repair work and installed spare parts are covered by a 3-month repair warranty from the date the customer is notified that the work is completed, on condition that the machine is used in full completeness and in accordance with the user manual. The repair warranty applies only to the work carried out during the repair and the assemblies involved. The repair warranty does not apply to devices that have no importer and for which no spare parts can be offered.
  4. The exact repair cost may vary depending on the specifics of the particular machine.
  5. We recommend getting your equipment into working order during the autumn-winter season – then we have more time and shorter queues. During the spring-summer period there may be long queues, and when workloads are very high we repair and service the equipment we have sold ourselves as a priority. If queues become unreasonably long, we accept only equipment we have sold ourselves!

Repair and servicing terms

  • If the machine cannot be repaired or the customer cancels the repair, a diagnostics/fault detection fee of €25 (incl. VAT) is payable. The diagnostics/fault detection fee is also payable if the fault does not appear during testing, or if the machine is brought in for warranty repair but it later turns out that the fault was not a manufacturing defect.
  • The estimated repair time is up to 14 calendar days from the date the machine is received. The repair time may be extended for reasons beyond Saemeister OÜ's control, including delivery of spare parts, a fault that is difficult to identify or seasonal workload.
  • If the customer does not collect the machine within 5 days of Saemeister OÜ notifying them by phone, text message or email that the work is completed, the diagnostics are finished or the machine can be collected, a storage fee of €2.50 per day (incl. VAT) applies.
  • If the machine is not collected within three (3) months of the customer being notified that the work is completed or that the machine is ready for collection, the customer is deemed to have transferred ownership of the machine to Saemeister OÜ free of charge, and Saemeister OÜ has the right to dispose of the machine, including selling it, to cover the cost of the work done, the spare parts used and other expenses. At least 14 days before this deadline, Saemeister OÜ will send the customer a separate reminder by phone, text message or email.
  • The machine is returned once all repair, diagnostics, storage and other related fees have been paid in full. After the repair or servicing is completed, the machine is handed over to the customer on the basis of a handover certificate.
  • The customer is responsible for the accuracy of the contact details provided and undertakes to inform Saemeister OÜ of any changes to them.
  • By handing over the machine for repair or servicing, the customer confirms that they have read and agree to these terms.
  • The customer confirms that they are the owner of the machine handed over for repair or are authorised by its owner to hand it over for repair and to enter into the agreements set out in these terms, including the transfer of ownership of the machine.

Cancelling a repair

During diagnostics and fault finding, it may be necessary to partially or fully dismantle the machine.

If the customer cancels the repair after the machine has been dismantled, Saemeister OÜ has the right to return the machine in dismantled form. Reassembly of the machine is not included in the diagnostics or fault detection fee and is a separate paid service according to the current price list or a price agreed with the customer.

Reassembling the machine does not constitute a repair and does not guarantee that the machine works or is safe. Saemeister OÜ may refuse to reassemble the machine if doing so would be dangerous, technically unsuitable or would cause further damage to the machine.

The customer is informed of the condition in which the machine is returned. A dismantled machine, or one with an unrepaired fault, must not be used until it has been properly reassembled, the faults have been rectified and its safety has been checked.

Repair and service work is billed by the minute. The hourly labour rate is 50 euros including VAT for brands sold by Saemeister and 60 euros including VAT for other equipment. A cleaning fee may be added for heavily soiled machines.

Which brands does Saemeister offer warranty service for

Saemeister is an authorised workshop representing the brands STIHL, EGO, STIGA and FERRIS. Equipment from other brands can also be brought in for repair via the repair order form, including Husqvarna, Echo, Honda, Oleo-Mac/Emac and Dolmar/Makita, but the repair warranty and spare parts availability do not apply to equipment without an official importer.

A repair warranty of 3 months from the date the customer is notified that the work is completed applies to repair work and installed spare parts, provided the machine is used in full, complete condition and in accordance with the instruction manual. The repair warranty covers only the work carried out during the repair and the components involved, and does not apply to equipment without an official importer or for which spare parts are not available.

Frequently asked questions

How much does chainsaw servicing cost at Saemeister?

Servicing, including filter and spark plug replacement, costs 25 euros for two-stroke equipment of a brand sold by Saemeister and 30 euros for other equipment. The exact price depends on the condition of the specific machine and the spare parts required.

Does Saemeister also service equipment from other brands that it does not sell itself?

Yes. In addition to the brands sold by Saemeister, the repair order form also allows you to select brands such as Husqvarna, Echo, Honda, Oleo-Mac/Emac, Dolmar/Makita and others. During the spring-summer peak season, when workloads are very high and queues become unreasonably long, equipment sold by Saemeister itself is repaired and serviced first.

Can equipment be brought in for servicing without travelling there in person?

Yes. The repair order form can be used to arrange collection from your home and contact-free handover; Saemeister sends the repair agreement and further details by email after the form is submitted.

Does a warranty apply to repair work?

Yes, a repair warranty of 3 months from the date the customer is notified that the work is completed applies to repair work and installed spare parts, covering the work carried out during the repair and the components involved.

What happens if I cancel the repair?

If the machine cannot be repaired or the customer cancels the repair, a diagnostics/fault detection fee of 25 euros is payable. If the machine has been dismantled during diagnostics, Saemeister has the right to return it in dismantled form, as reassembly is not included in the fault detection fee and is a separate paid service. The detailed terms are given above in the section Cancelling a repair.

When is the best time to bring equipment in for servicing?

Saemeister recommends getting equipment serviced during the autumn-winter season, when queues are shorter. Long queues may occur during the spring-summer period.
