How It Works

1. Bring your equipment to the shop during open hours, or call 260-214-0985 first.

2. I look it over and give you a free estimate before any work starts.

3. Labor is $40.00 per hour. If a problem takes real digging to find, diagnostic time is billed at the same rate, and I'll tell you before I start the clock.

4. Most jobs are done in a day or two to about a week.

Mowers

Repair, tune-ups, oil changes, and blade service for push, self-propelled, riding, and zero-turn mowers.

Chainsaws

Repair and tune-ups for gas chainsaws, including hard starting, stalling, and carburetor problems. I also sharpen chainsaw chains.

Weed Eaters and Leaf Blowers

Repair and tune-ups for string trimmers and handheld or backpack blowers.

Tillers and Snow Throwers

Seasonal tune-ups and repair, including gearbox work on snow throwers.

Generators and Pressure Washers

Repair and tune-ups for portable generators and pressure washers.

Mower Blade Sharpening: $5.00 per Blade

Sharpened on a guided jig that holds a consistent angle, then balanced. Bring your blades in during open hours.

Snow Throwers: Get It Ready Before the First Snow

The best time for a snow thrower tune-up is before the first storm, when everyone needs theirs at once. Bring it in if it's hard to start, surges or runs rough, the belt slips, or the auger won't turn. I also repair snow thrower gearboxes.
