Once packaged with a custom printed label, users can drop-off the tool at one of over 6,300 FedEx Ship Centers nationwide for delivery to a Makita Factory Service Center.

With 24/7 access, users can check back online any time for status updates. Upon repair completion, the Service Center ships the repaired tool back to the user. Direct Repair Online Service is an improvement on an already high standard of Makita tool service and repair.

Makita’s industry-leading turn time on repairs coupled with no cost direct shipping ensures tools are quickly back on the job with minimal downtime and expense.”
