From old device to replacement – What to do when a repair is no longer worthwhile?

Some garden tools have served faithfully for many years – but eventually, their usefulness finally comes to an end. In this blog, we'll show you how OVDV advises you when it comes to weighing up repairs and replacements. Fair, transparent, and tailored to your situation.

Not every device needs to be replaced – but some do.

Many customers come to us wanting to have their broken device repaired. And often we can help – with a new blade, a cleaned carburetor, or a simple cable replacement.

But there are also cases where a repair is no longer technically or economically worthwhile :

  • The engine is badly worn.

  • Spare parts are no longer available.

  • The frame or casing is warped or broken

  • The repair costs significantly exceed the current market value.

In such cases, we give an honest recommendation – completely without sales pressure.


What happens if your device is beyond repair?

At OVDV, the process is structured and transparent:

  1. You can bring your device by or we can pick it up.

  2. We'll do a quick diagnostic check – free of charge if you decide to buy a new product from us.

  3. We will assess the repair costs and discuss the alternatives.

  4. You decide: repair, return or new device

Upon request, we will also accept your old device for professional disposal or exchange .


Think sustainably – act economically

Sometimes a new device is more sustainable and cheaper in the long run than repeated emergency repairs.

Modern devices:

  • consume less electricity or gasoline

  • work quieter, safer and more efficiently

  • They are easier to maintain (e.g., via app or modular design).

  • They come with a warranty and spare parts availability.

We'll help you find the right model – no frills, but with everything you need.


Old device for new device – how does the exchange process work?

If you decide to opt for a replacement, we offer an all-inclusive package upon request:

  • Dispose of your old device , no effort required on your part.

  • Assemble and prepare the new device for operation

  • Delivery and instructions directly in your garden

  • The old device will be disposed of or recycled professionally.

And: For some models, we offer a small trade-in value – just ask!


OVDV Garden Machines – honest advice, fair replacement

Olivier isn't a salesman, he's a mechanic with heart. He knows the difference between a device with a history – and one that would cause you more trouble than joy in the future.

With us, you won't get a sales promise, but a well-founded recommendation on equal terms.


Conclusion: Sometimes it's time for a fresh start.

If your device spends more time in the workshop than in the garden, it will be expensive – for your wallet and your nerves.
We'll help you identify the right time to switch. And we'll ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible.

Schedule an appointment now – for an honest assessment and a clear path to a replacement.
