COCHECO EQUIPMENT INC

I called two days after dropping it off for an estimate of when the work would be completed. They had to order a belt..., it might be in Monday (two more blizzards later). Called Monday. Snow blower? We have your snow blower? Oh yeah, he's looking at it today (I thought you were waiting for a belt). Called Wednesday (now a full week after dropping it off). Just adding up the prices now..., drive train $150, auger drive $150, cables and....... STOP!! Don't do ANYTHING to it. I'll be down to pick it up in 20 minutes. Well yeah, we thought that was high too, but we have some new Toros coming in this afternoon..... Unbelievable. These people seem incapable of giving a straight answer about anything and appear to have no sense of urgency toward providing service in a timely fashion. Not to mention the premium pricing for substandard service. I later learned from, well just about everyone I talked to about them, that they have just about the worst reputation in town, and pretty much all had or heard the same complaints that I had,. Ultimately, I gave it to a friend to bring to the junk yard, but also likes to tinker. He replaced a belt and a spring and got it going for about $40. Cocheco Equipment wanted north of $300, then tried to sell me a new one when I didn't take the bait. Save yourself the aggravation. Go someplace else.
