Keep Your Machines Running Through the Season
Thurn's Sales LLC provides equipment service in Bismarck for construction and compact machinery used across North Dakota projects.
When your skid steer won't start on a cold morning, your mini excavator leaks hydraulic fluid onto the jobsite, or your scissor lift stalls halfway through an extension, you lose hours of productivity and delay the entire project. Thurn's Sales LLC offers equipment service in Bismarck for construction and compact machinery, handling maintenance, hydraulic repairs, and parts replacement for brands including Bobcat, Skyjack, JLG, and others. You bring your machine to a local shop instead of arranging transport to a distant service facility or waiting weeks for a mobile technician to reach your site.
The service team works on equipment used in residential, commercial, and agricultural projects, addressing engine issues, hydraulic failures, electrical faults, and wear-related problems that develop during heavy use. Scheduling works best when you call ahead to describe the issue and confirm availability, especially during spring and summer when service demand peaks across central North Dakota. The shop stocks common parts and orders manufacturer components as needed, which reduces downtime and keeps your machine operational during the short construction season.
Call Thurn's Sales LLC at (701) 240-3030 to discuss your equipment service needs and schedule an appointment in Bismarck.

What Local Service Does for Contractors and Operators
When you bring your equipment to Bismarck for service, the technicians inspect hydraulic lines, test electrical systems, check fluid levels, and examine wear points such as tracks, tires, and lift arms. They diagnose problems using diagnostic tools and hands-on testing, then complete repairs using manufacturer parts or high-quality aftermarket components. You receive a written summary of what was fixed, what requires monitoring, and what should be addressed before the next heavy use period.
After the service, your skid steer lifts loads evenly without bucket drift, your mini excavator swings smoothly through a full rotation, and your scissor lift extends to full height without hesitation. The team has experience with major equipment brands and understands the demands of North Dakota construction, land clearing, and agricultural work. You avoid the frustration of trial-and-error repairs and the cost of replacing parts that weren't the actual source of the problem.
The shop handles routine maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements, and greasing, as well as emergency repairs when a machine breaks down mid-project. If your equipment was purchased from Thurn's Sales LLC, the service team is already familiar with the machine and can access service records to track maintenance history. The service operates year-round, allowing you to schedule off-season work during winter when the equipment sits idle and service appointments are easier to book.
You Likely Have Questions About Equipment Repairs
Contractors and operators often ask about repair timelines, parts availability, and what to do when a machine breaks down during a critical phase of a project, especially if they're working under tight deadlines.
What kinds of equipment does Thurn's Sales LLC service?
The shop services skid steers, mini excavators, scissor lifts, and other compact construction equipment from major brands. If a repair requires specialized manufacturer support, the team coordinates parts ordering and technical guidance on your behalf.
How long does equipment service typically take?
Minor repairs such as hydraulic hose replacement or filter changes often finish within a day, while engine work or major component replacement may take longer depending on parts availability. Calling ahead with details helps the shop estimate a timeline.
When should I bring my equipment in for maintenance?
You should schedule routine maintenance before the construction season to address wear from the previous year, and again in fall to prepare the machine for winter storage. Mid-season service works if you notice leaks, performance drops, or warning lights.
What happens if my machine breaks down on a jobsite?
You call the shop to describe the problem, and the technicians advise whether it's safe to transport the machine or if you need on-site assistance. If the issue can wait, you schedule service as soon as the machine reaches Bismarck.
What should I bring when I drop off equipment for service?
Bring a description of the problem, details about when it started, and any error codes or warning lights the machine displayed. If the equipment is under warranty, bring proof of purchase and maintenance records.
