Most common repair issues are diagnosed over the phone and priced below for reference when we speak. Parts will be provided, ordered and delivered before I can arrive on site. When required to come on-site the Diagnosis Fee is $40 to begin repairs to a Lawn Mower, Snow Thrower, or Portable Generator; $80 to begin repairs to Lawn Tractors and other Power Equipment. When the equipment can be repaired, some or all of the fee will be applied to the additional cost of the service and repair after an estimate is accepted.
If through diagnosis, I have to return because parts have to be ordered, I will ask for reasonable travel to return and finish the job after parts are received. I do not sell or order parts. As part of the diagnostic fee I will spec the proper parts and send you a link via text to order from Amazon.

I most certainly stand behind my work! I can because of the manner in which I offer, deliver and perform the services. Oh Yeah! 100%
I perform all work ON-SITE at your Location, no drop-offs please. I am very clean and neat, used oil and old gas are taken with me and recycled at no charge.
I repair small engines only (no diesel). I cannot service or repair hydro or hydraulics systems in the field at this time. Lawn Tractor Snow Thrower, Plow, and other Attachments are considered on a per job basis. I repair Portable Generators, I do not repair Generators that are in RV's, Boats or hard wired into other electrical systems. I do not repair gas small engine powered welders, mopeds, dirt bikes, ATV’s, Go-Karts, etc. at this time.
Most jobs are just right! Some jobs may be too big to be completed on-site.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE... Use this checklist/FAQ to make sure you need service:
1.) Q: Are you using fresh gas? Gas is only good for 30-45 days, if you put gas older than that in the machine before you tried to start it, then it will run poorly or not at all.
SOLUTION: Drain the old gas out and put fresh gas in, and retry. If you are not comfortable doing this, then please call me for service.
2.) Q: Have you checked to make sure your gas shutoff is turned to the open position? Some machines do not have a gas shutoff, it is usually located beneath the gas tank in clear view for ease of use.
SOLUTION: Turn the shutoff to the open position, prime the machine and retry starting, give it a few pulls or engage the electric start several times before you call for service.
When you contact me for service and repairs, please provide the name of your City or Town and State, and also send me a picture of your Model/Serial Number ID Tag/Label (if you can't send pic then please provide the info, this helps me give you faster service!)
Is your lawn mower or snowblower not starting, runs poorly or only runs with the choke closed? Gas is only good 30-45 days, after that it starts to turn into varnish inside your carburetor and brittle your fuel lines because of the ethanol they now put into gas. Varnish clogs up your carburetor and causes poor performance. I've seen varnish do amazing things like completely skin over large throughways inside the carb and completely stop the flow of fuel. 4 stroke engines require good clean oil to run correctly, when was the last time you changed your oil in your lawn mower, tractor or walk behind? I recommend that you change your oil, plugs and fuel filter yearly to keep your equipment running strong.
Love helping people and saving them money. No one likes dealing with Small Engine Repair shops; you have to bring them the equipment, their rates are exorbanate and it takes weeks to get your equipment back.
