For James, this venture is more than a business - it's a chance to combine his love of mechanics, sales experience, and community spirit. He's excited to be hands-on, involved, and to shape the shop into something that reflects who he is. With local pride and plenty of elbow grease, he's ready to carry the legacy forward.
Think chainsaws, ride on mowers, line trimmers, lawn mowers, water blasters, leaf blowers – in fact anything that is needed to keep gardens and lawns looking neat and tidy, they are all available in our Greytown showroom on Main Street south.
