Description of Work: They sharpened my push lawn mower. It is a family run business. The service was poor and the wait was long. However, they did a very good job of sharpening the mower which was the main reason I took my mower in. They need to work on customer service. I would go back but not expect good service. I have used them in the past with similar results.

They promised me the lawn mover would be ready on Friday and it was ready on Friday. When we started to mow the lawn the lawn mower started up but the mechanism that pulled the mower was not working correctly. I took the mower back, they fixed it the next day at no charge. They were helpful and pleasant.

The drive engage handle was wearing a large hole where the pivot bolt attached it to the mower and would eventually fall off when the hole wore thru. They fixed it rather cleverly and cheaply. The engine now starts on second pull?very nice. The mower now has a new lease on life.
Description of Work: Sharpened reel front-throw McClane mower with Briggs-Stratton engine. Changed oil. Seviced engine. Cleaned carburetor.

We are very happy with the new mower. They took the $100 we gave them to repair the mower and applied it to the new mower. It was just fine overall. We weren't too happy in the middle but it worked out just fine.
Description of Work: We used Pacific Lawn Mowers Works when our lawnmower died. They couldn't fix it so we bought a new one from them.

My lawn mower would stop running shortly after starting it. I took it to these folks and they said it needed a carburetor overhaul and tune up. I left it with them and picked it up at a date later than promised. The same problem still existed. They than took it in and called saying the cable attached to the safety bar came loose. They charged me additionally for that, of course, and that solved the problem which was all that was wrong in the first place.

Not a lot of customer service, they just take it, and get to you when they get to you. They fixed it a few days later than estimated and the price was ok. There's not a lot of choices for lawn mower repair so, you get what you get I guess. They were OK all around. Meh.

See above they were timely, performed the work to the estimate.
Description of Work: Lawnmower needed the fuel lines cleared, fuel filter replaced, carb and linkage tweaked. These folks gave me a max. estimate, then did the work and called me on the plan date to let me know it was fixed and ready to go. This is the only major work I've done on a 12- year old mower, very happy with the results.

When I finally received my tractor, I was still having problems with the motor sputtering and dying during the mowing. I also found the gasket inside the gas cap had deteriorated and pieces of plastic had fallen into the gas tank. I called the Pacific Lawn Mower Works to tell them I needed additional service. I spoke to Tim, owner, who listen and discussed the problem with me rationally. I thought he was going to call me back and make arrangements to service the tractor again. The call wasn't returned. I called back and spoke to Debbie, owner, and she discussed the situation with me by putting the blame on the condition of the terrain which is mildly sloping, the height of the grass/weeds which was a foot tall and the amount of moisture in the grass. She also said that the driver was probably cutting too wide a swath because the San Diego County mowers were coming in with broken belts etc. I waited to hear back from them but no call came. I called again this time speaking to Noah. I asked him to schedule the work to be done again at their expense unless they found a different problem. He was defensive and I told him I was not going to argue with him. He brought up small claims court out of the blue, and I told him I had no intention of going to small claims court over this matter. He concluded by saying that Tim asked him to tell me the tractor would be picked up the following Tuesday, April 13th. I asked to have Tim call me to make arrangements for pick up time and work to be done. He didn't call and no one picked up the tractor on Tuesday. I called back on April 15th to speak to Tim and they again wanted me to leave a message. That time I did, I told them they had been unprofessional and unreliable by not calling when they said they would and not picking up the tractor on 4/13/10 as they had promised. I told the man on the phone I was given a run around by their company. They also had not stood behind their work but tried to rationalize the problem as my fault.
Description of Work: My riding lawnmower was scheduled for pick up on Feb. 18, 2010, there was a one day delay by the company but I was notified about the delay. I had requested that the tractor be serviced like it had been the first time the worked on it a year earlier. Work was performed at the shop on spark plug boot which was on incorrectly, the plug was replaced and fuel filter replaced, 2 new blades were installed. The invoice states that the unit runs well. I also purchased 2 quarts of oil. The tractor was delivered to my home. Delivery fee of $75.00 is included in the $268.97 price. The tractor was at Pacific Lawnmower for two to three weeks. I called them several times to see how the work was progressing.

Response from Pacific Lawn Mowers Works
Other than not going to her house for free again there was no problem with the work performed. She first called Tim and complained the blades weren't cutting. This is after her property was cut by a hired person once we had come out N/C and installed a battery and delivered 1 quart of oil and a changer (with instructions). She isn't listening to us about storage and usage. There was a charge for parts but no service charge. I tried to run by her house again N/C but we are working 70+ hours a week. How long do we work N/C? We charged her 1/2 price P/U and delivery. We're shorthanded because of the economy. Sometimes several calls are needed for us to hook up about this. Not every problem with her mower is because of us! - Tim Quantrell, President

I had a dead gas powered week whacker. I asked if it was appropriate to have it repaired or if I should get a new one. They could have run up a big bill, but they told me that these units were disposable and not to bother to fix them. I really respect their integrity.

They picked up the mower on Tuesday and returned it on Thursday of the following week. Kale, the very considerate and helpful son of the shop's owner, delivered the lawn mower and showed me how to operate it completely. He explained the type of gas that should be used, the weight of oil(30), how to clean the filters, blade height, etc. I took the mower for a short ride and he helped me navigate around my field. It went very well. The mower started easily and ran smoothly.
Description of Work: The price of $316.00 includes picking up and dropping off a riding Craftsman lawn mower. They power washed the mower because it had been sitting for 10 months. They cleaned and serviced the carburetor, flushed the fuel system, replaced fuel filter, spark plug, changed oil and filter, cleaned air filter and cooling fins, replaced two cutting blades, replaced missing steering pin, charged battery. I furnished blades and belt.

This company is awesome! Our Honda had been making strange noises for several years. I took it to them and they knew exactly what to do with it. They also helped me unload it from the car which was really sweet. All of the staff were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and polite. I would highly recommend!

Positive overall experience, the owner AND staff were helpful and friendly. The price, while discounted from list price a little was fair considering it is in San Diego where housing costs are high.

Total $127.40. Shop labor, filter air panel, spark plug, carburetor total $183.50. Also purchased pruning shears.
