I took my lawn mower to Pete, and he asked me if I completely drained the carburetor last fall. Nope. I left the mower with him. A few hours later, he had it fixed. I returned to his place, tested the mower (started like magic), paid up, and took it home. Pete impressed the heck out of me by giving me a hand-written sheet of steps to take to prepare the mower for storage in the fall!

We wouldn't go back there ever again - they were not polite - in our opinion - they weren't honest! We definitely told them - this is warranty work - we do NOT want to pay anything - yet they took the mower in - KNOWING they were going to charge us for just looking at it!

Service was completed quickly, thoroughly.  After servicing, Pete had me start the mower prior to taking it home.  Explained to me that leaving although I had drained the tank of gas when I stopped mowing in Nov, that some gas remained in the carburetor.  Not good for engine performance.

Pete knows mowers and what it takes to service them properly.  I dropped off my Honda mower at his shop and by the end of the day he had it serviced and ready for me to pick up.  His price was very reasonable for the work performed.  I will most definitely use Pete again.

"Sometimes when the Ignition Coil starts to go bad it does work for awhile and without paying hundreds of dollars for the testing machine (which would only be needed once every 10 years or so) and as long as the engine starts and runs while it's here then I won't replace the part I always have the customer start their equipment before they load it in their vehicle sorry for the inconvenience"

After my edger stopped working I found Pete on Angie's List and called to bring it in.  I brought it in that day and Pete indicated that he would diagnose what was wrong and have it ready to go by Sunday.  This time of year can be a difficult turn-around time for lawn equipment, but sure enough he completed the work in 3 days and my edger is as good as new.  He runs a small operation out of his home on Beacon Hill.
