PDB Yard and Forest

Service & Warranty Depot - Husqvarna, Jonsered, Poulan, & More!

Paul began his business over three decades ago as a Jonsered servicing dealer. He spends his days working on chainsaws and lawnmowers for locals, although his business has seen customers from all across Manitoba. Paul has always had an aptitude for repairing small-motorized equipment, which is why he began working with Jonsered. Since then, it has been bought out by the Husqvarna Group. Over the years, he has taken online classes through the Husqvarna virtual university to learn more about repairing items most applicable to the area. Most commonly, Paul fixes chainsaws and lawnmowers

Paul most enjoys fixing things that give him a challenge as long as he can satisfy the customer in the end. The tricky thing about a repair business is “fixing things so well that they never need to come back,” but Paul honours his ethics in every job he takes on, which is how he maintains his rapport. In contrast to many larger supply and repair places that provide parts on an order-only basis which can be quite untimely, PDB Yard & Forest has many parts ready for immediate purchase and use like “how it used to be.” It is needless to say that Paul takes pride in his work and enjoys keeping busy, but when he chooses to retire, he is hopeful someone else in the area will take over. Paul is very supportive of the next generation becoming business owners; he said, “for someone young, my message to them about the PRCC is that it is a place where they can bring and receive ideas and of course the resources that they would need to be available for them to start a business. It's a place to start.”
