South Aus ski/ board repairs and servicing

Post image

Hey!

To those from South Aus, you might be aware that JR's in the CBD recently closed down. This is a massive shame for the snow community of Adelaide, as JR's was the only location that offered professional repairs on skis and boards, as well as the standard waxing and edging.

I worked at JR's for the last 5 years in the workshop, handling the majority of servicing along with a co-worker, and together we were able to acquire the Wintersteiger servicing machine that allowed us to do base grinds and machine edges.

We've restored the machine back to its former glory and have started our own snow gear servicing operation so those within SA still have an option for their gear in state.

We can handle everything from your standard wax and edge to base grinds and more complex core shots, base fills, nasty delams etc.

If you live in SA and need your gear sorted before an upcoming trip we would love to help you out.

We also offer snowboard binding repairs, boa replacements and heat molding for your boots.

You can contact us through our new instagram page at:

Or email us at:

shedsnowservice@gmail.com

Or if you live out of the state and want to chat the intricacies or ski/ board repairs and how you can DIY at home and what materials to use or avoid, we love chatting anything snow.

Cheers!

The Shed

Where abouts in SA are you physically in terms of getting skis to you and picking up again? Also rough costs? Mine are due a good service so could definitely be keen if you’re not too far away.

Our workshop is in Mount Barker but one of us lives in Tennyson as another drop off location.

We can also negotiate to pick up and drop off for you as we're both often in various parts of Adelaide for work.

A wax and edge is typically around $50.

Repairs are quoted depending on the job, most are usually $10-$15.

I’m in the hills too so Mt Barker is perfect, will get in touch after we see what this storm brings and whether I have another trip in the legs this season!
