Simple Process

HOW IT WORKS

No long contracts. No corporate faff. Just gear when you need it.

01

Get in touch

Call or text Dean, or fill in the form. Tell us what you need and when, and we'll confirm it's free - no waiting on hold.

02

Pick up or delivery

Collect from Totara Vale between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday — we'll confirm your time when you book. Pick up the afternoon before your hire day at no extra charge. Delivery within about 30 minutes is available for an extra fee.

03

Get the job done

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.

Who We are

HIREFIX IS BUILT DIFFERENT

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.

Questions

Answers to what you need to know about hiring from HireFix

Do I need any experience to hire?

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.

Can I extend my hire period?

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.

What if the gear breaks down on the job?

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.

Do you deliver to my site?

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.

How do I return the equipment?

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.

Can tradies set up an account?

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.

How does payment work?

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.

Can I look at the gear before I pay?

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.

What if I need to cancel?

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.

Can I talk to Dean?

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.
