WARDEN'S SMALL ENGINE CLINIC

The job was done quickly and professionally and was priced fairly. We totally enjoyed working with this company and would work with them again.

Absolutely fantastic job. After 10 years of cutting my lawn, the mower looks and feels almost new. Fixed the broken parts, performed recommended maintenance and completely cleaned the entire mower - inside & out.

Basically, Dale gave the weed whacker a thorough tuneup.  He changed the spark plug, cleaned out the carburetor and the engine housing, made some adjustments to the carburetor and changed the gas to 93 octane from 89 octane.

Dale Warden went above and beyond when repairing our mower.  Our two year old push mower wouldn't start after sitting in the garage over the winter.  After doing some searching on Angie's List, I decided to give Warden's a try.  He was very prompt at returning my call, diagnosed the problem over the phone, and gave me a quote I found reasonable. This was two days before July 4th and he informed me he would be out of town the following week.  I figured it would probably be a couple of weeks before he'd be able to get to it.  He told me if I could get the mower to him within a couple of hours, he'd have it fixed the next day.  My mower was ready the next morning.  Great service, indeed! But that's not all.  About 5 minutes after leaving his shop, my phone rings.  He informs me that I had written the check for more than the actual bill.  My response, "thank you, please keep the check."  I would recommend him a thousand times over.

Perfect. Mr Warden repaired my power washer and leaf blower perfectly and for a very fair price. The work was done quickly. I had checked with another Angies List company that was much closer and a larger operation. They were unable to begin work for 6 weeks....Mr Warden repaired both units in 3 days. It was well worth the drive and he is very pleasant and honest. I had a hedge trimmer that I was going to have repaired also but Mr Warden advised that it would be a waste of money...better to just replace it.

My three-year-old push lawn mower had never been serviced. My primary issue was that it was difficult (and sometimes impossible to start). When it did run, it shut down prematurely. I also had issues last season with it wreaking of gasoline after a mow. I called Mr. Warden to describe my problems, and he gave me an estimate based on what he believed the problem to be. I took the mower to Mr. Warden Saturday afternoon and had it back in less than a week. Mr. Warden's service exceeded my expectations. In addition to cleaning and adjusting the carburetor, he changed the oil, cleaned under the deck, cleaned and adjusted the wheels, sharpened the blades, and replaced a spark plug and filter. After Mr. Warden helped me load up my mower, I immediately took it home to put it to work. It started more easily than it ever has before - one tug and it was humming, ready to go. I highly recommend Mr. Warden!

All went well i dropped off a pressure washer that would not start. i was very pleased

Went fine. Lawnmower runs great and was much cheaper than buying a new model mower which I didn't like as much as my old one.

I called Warden's Small Engine Clinic on Friday Aug 16 and told Mr. Warden what my lawn mower was doing-which was making a loud banging noise when I engaged the self propel handle. I knew I couldn't keep cutting grass in this mode so I asked him what he thought it might be and about how much it would cost to fix it. He gave me his best guess, which would have cost me around a $100. Since the mower was only 5 years old I thought it was worth taking it to him to verify what it was. He told me on the phone that it would be $35.00 for the diagnosis, but that would be waved if he fixed it. On Monday, Aug 19, he called and told me it was transmission and would cost right around $200. Since a new mower of the same type (self propelled) would cost about $400, I decided to get it fixed. He had to send away for the parts, but managed to get them in a couple days and I had my mower back on the 23rd of Aug--and mowed my yard. It runs great.
I was having problems starting the mower after it had run for 15 or 20 minutes. I had to let it cool down-some times over an hour before it would start again. He fixed that too. If you live in this area and have a problem with your mower-riding, push, whatever, call Mr. Warden and talk to him before talking with anyone else. I talked to the so called expert at ACE Hardware, on Randleman Rd and he had no clue what it could be and could give me no guess as to what it might cost. One very helpful hint in finding Warden's Small Engine Clinic. It is not a store front. His shop is in back of his house at 5336 Coble Church Rd. He has a very small sign attached to his mail box. You have to be looking for it or you'll miss it. When you turn in the drive you go up a very long cobble stone drive way to his shop.

I checked on Angie's List and found Warden's Small Engine Clinic and based on the reviews, I decided to try them. I called and setup an appointment with Dale Warden. I got there on Monday April 22, told Dale what the mower was doing and he said based on the symptoms that it needed to have the carburetor rebuilt and adjusted. I told him about other things I experienced with the mower and he said he would go over it really well. He said he would try to get it by Friday April 26. If not it would be the next Tuesday. This surprised me because I did call another shop and they said it would take 2+ weeks. Also, he said the cost would be $65 labor plus the cost of the parts. So this was a good sign.
To my surprise, Dale called me on Thursday April 25 and said the mower was ready. I picked it up on Friday morning. Dale explained what he had done - Rebuilt the carburetor, New sparkplug, Changed the oil, New starter rope, New gas cap (mine was broken), Cleaned the fly wheel and module, Set Air Gap on Module, Sharpened the blade and Cleaned under the deck. Checked the timing and Adjusted the transmission belt (I'm glad he did because I had forgotten to tell him that the self-propelled feature did not work as well as I thought it should).
I finally got to mow with the mower this past Saturday (the rain and cold finally abated for a day or two) and it ran like a new mower. Thanks Dale.
Total cost for all of this was $65 (labor) + 43.81 parts + 2.96 tax for a total of 111.77. A great deal

usinessCalled and talked about repairs.
Took a while to take items to shop.
Repaired quickly, once we agreed on the work (the and more from above).
Good price based on opinion and little experience, I did not shop around since options are limited.

Found this service thanks to Angie's List. I have a 10 year old push lawnmower which had never been serviced and was running rough. Was able to put it in the back of my SUV and take it over to Warden's. Mr. Warden is a really nice guy who works out of a large shop behind a house way out in the country (you end up going down a long gravel driveway to get around to the shop and yard in the back). He promised my mower back in a couple of days and said he would call if any major repairs needed to be done.
A couple days later, as promised, he called to say it was ready. As it turned out it needed a new gas line (which had rotted), rebuilding of the carburetor, complete cleaning and oil change and spark plug and filter (of course) and he sharpened the blade. Parts cost about $35 and with labor my total bill was right around $100, which was much less than I expected.
Since this guy works from home you have to call first to make sure he's there for drop off or pickup. (He also has a large trailer so could probably pickup for you; I didn't need to ask about that.) He answered every voicemail promptly and assured me that keeping customers happy is his top priority. It was so refreshing to meet someone who loves his job and isn't just trying to make an extra buck. He also mentioned that he regularly takes small engine classes to stay on top of the latest technologies (computers, etc.), so I'm confident he could handle much more complicated repairs than mine.
I recommend Mr. Warden with complete confidence. I think he's honest, fair, and does good work for a great price. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I moved to the area late last summer. My relatively new hardly used lawn boy mower would not start or if it kicked over would shut off. I bowered a mower and waited until this spring to look into repairs. I made some phone calls to repair places and was surprised at the amount they said it would cost to look at the mower. I joined Angie's list and began reading reviews on small machinery repair businesses. I settled on Warden's and am very glad I did. I was personally treated kindly and respectfully. The maintenance and repairs were done in a timely fashion. When I picked the mower up I was told exactly what had been done. Mr. Warden made certain I could start the mower easily and gave me instructions on how to keep it running in top condition. His bill was very fair. I would recommend Warden;s Small Engine Clinic with confidence.

Great. I'll use Mr. Warden again with confidence. Thanks.

They did very well. I am happy with their services.

The price was reasonable for all the work I had done. The price was fine. I priced the parts myself and they were exactly what I would have had to pay. Their labor was reasonable for what they did. The quality was excellent and they responded right away.
