We have a Service Centre in Cape Town and Durban that will gladly accept any RYOBI machine for repair. Our head offices in Midrand, Gauteng, also accept any RYOBI machine for repair. Apart from that there are a few accredited independent service centres dotted around the country. Alternatively many Ryobi Stockists will gladly assist in getting the machine back to the closest service
centre in order to get it repaired.

Our goal is to have the best after sales service in the industry and our target is a 48-72 hour turnaround on all repairs.

You can order the spares from many RYOBI Stockists, or visit us directly. We have all the spares of any RYOBI machine (We can’t guarantee this for machines that have been discontinued for more than 3 year).
