Technicians and factory representatives will be there to answer questions.
They will have a free drawing for a Husqvarna weed trimmer, valued at $149.
The Buies have owned the two stores for three years. Gary has 12 years prior experience in this business.
At the Jim's Saw Repair store at 542 W. Stockton Road across from the Mother Lode Fairgrounds, Phil Herrero is the manager and Richard Carr is the service technician.
Twain Harte Saw & Mower is at 20031 Highway 108, just west of the Oak Tree Center in East Sonora. The store staff includes John Garza, manager, and Jeff Strachan and Craig Beutler, service technicians.
"We are a great team in sales and quality repair," said Gary Buie. "Part of our philosophy is to educate our customers in the proper use and safety with all outdoor power equipment."
The staff at both locations works closely with large companies, municipalities and county road and fire departments, helping them get the right equipment for their needs. They also do safety and service seminars in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties for the State of California, Sierra Conservation Center, Forest Service and school districts.
The Buies are hands-on owners, working at both stores. They make sure all their employees attend safety and service schools annually. There service technicians are also factory trained to do warranty repairs on all equipment.
Among the brands they sell are Husqvarna, Stihl, Shindaiwa, Honda, BCS, Troy Bilt, Snapper and Banco Fun-Karts. The stores are warranty stations for Briggs & Stratton, MTD, Tecumseh, Homelite and Murray in addition to all the brands they sell.
In addition, the business helps in the design of new products by being a test center for large manufacturers. They accept new, top secret products and have logging crews test them and give feedback to the manufacturers' engineering departments.
Among the products sold at the two stores are lawn mowers, chainsaws, weed trimmers, generators, chipper-shredders, trimmer-mowers, rototillers, log splitters, water pumps, backpack and hand-held blowers, riding tractors, fun-karts, snow-throwers, power sprayers and a full line of safety accessories.
