Use the gear. Return it clean and in the same condition. Bond released on return. Half day, full day, weekend, weekly - whatever suits your job.
We're not a franchise. HireFix is run by Dean Scott, a North Shore-based builder who's spent years in construction and has personally used every piece of gear we hire out. That means honest advice on what will actually work for your job — not just whatever's on the shelf.
The big hire companies charge a premium for brand recognition and a shop full of staff you'll never talk to again. We keep it simple: quality gear, fair pricing, and a real person on the other end of the phone. No queues. No corporate runaround.
Whether you're a tradie on a tight timeline, a homeowner tackling a weekend project, or a contractor who needs gear in a hurry — HireFix has you sorted.

Pick the hire length that suits the job. Prices for each machine are listed in What's on hire.
Pickup and returns 7am–6pm, Monday to Saturday — we'll confirm your time when you book. Collect the afternoon before your hire day at no extra charge.
Online booking with a pay link is available. Prefer to inspect first at Totara Vale? Choose that on the quote form.

Answers to what you need to know about hiring from HireFix
Most equipment just needs common sense. For more technical gear like the pressure washers or generators, Dean will walk you through it at collection. If you're not confident, just ask.
Yes, in most cases. Just give us a call before your hire period ends and we'll sort it out — as long as the gear isn't booked by another customer.
Call us straight away. If it's an equipment fault, we'll sort a replacement or refund. We do not charge for mechanical failures that aren't caused by misuse.
Yes, within roughly 30 minutes of Totara Vale, North Shore. Delivery and pickup is available for an extra fee. Ask when you enquire and we'll confirm if we cover your area.
Bring it back to Totara Vale at the time we agreed, clean and in the same condition you got it. Bond is released on return. We can also arrange pickup for a fee.
Not yet, but it's something we're looking into for regular customers. For now, just get in touch each time — the process is quick and we'll recognise your name.
Most hires can be booked online: once Dean confirms the gear is free, you get a secure pay link (card). Day and weekend hires are usually paid in full up front; longer hires may take a deposit with the balance on return. Prefer to see the gear at Totara Vale first? Choose that on the quote form — you pay when you're happy, not before.
Yes. Choose 'See the gear first' on the form (or just say so when you call). We'll set a Totara Vale time. Online book-and-pay is there for people who already know what they need and want it held.
Tell us as soon as you can. Cancel 24 hours or more before the hire day and we'll refund what you've paid (less any card processing fee). Later cancellations may keep a portion — we'll be fair and clear when you book.
That's the point. Ring 022 175 2431 and you'll get Dean, not a call centre. He knows the gear and can help you pick what you need.
