The offer, valid through May 31, is designed for users to get their tools repaired without having to travel to a Makita Factory Service Center.

To support America’s workers, Makita is offering free labor and free “round-trip” shipping for tool repairs in Makita Factory Service Centers through May 31, 2020. This new service helps users get their tools repaired, without having to travel to a Makita Factory Service Center.
