I found Alfred on Angie's List with awesome comments and recommendations. He came out on time, serviced the generator and gave me tips on how to keep it in tip-top shape, like running it for 5-10 minutes every 6 weeks or so. Alfred was very nice and professional. I would definitely use him again!
Description of Work: Service on Generator: Wanting to get "prepared" for hurricane season, I wanted to have our generator serviced since we had not used it since the triple-whammy of hurricanes in 2004.

I called Alfred based on his great Angie's List reviews and his mobile service. He called me back within 5 minutes even though I called well after business hours (8 p.m. on a Wednesday). We needed him to look at a pressure washer that we could not start. We purchased the pressure washer used from a garage sale and knew nothing about it. Alfred arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He was able to start the machine and identified it as needing a carburetor repair which he completed that same day for the agreed upon price of $65. I really appreciated that he was so up front about the issues with the machine and price. Given that I knew nothing about the pressure washer he really could have taken advantage of me but it is obvious that he is honest and believes in fair prices and good service in running his business. I would use him again and I would recommend him to friends and family.

Alfred came to my house within an hour of my call to him. He repaired my pressure washer engine, spending extra time finding and replacing bolts that were missing. He cleaned the carburetor and made sure the engine started and ran smoothly, testing it out by cleaning a portion of my driveway. He also gave me some tips on how to keep it operating better in the future. I received quality, professional, at home service for a reasonable price. Thank you, Alfred!

I was looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to do home visit maintenance on my Toro ride-on lawnmower. I looked up Alfred on Angies list after seeing he has amazing scores and ratings. He was very responsive on the phone and we setup an appointment. As promised he was on-time and was within the time for repair he quoted to me on the phone. It was a pleasure working with Alfred and I will defiantly be calling him again for my seasonal mower maintenance and repairs in the future.

Alfred arrived at our home within 30 minutes of our initial phone call to him. He not only fixed both issues, he cleaned the mower and it now looks new. He was punctual, polite, professional, knowledgeable, and his price was incredibly reasonable. We will definitely use Admiral again in the future should the need arise.

I am sorry to say I was wrong about Alfred and his work. After having Alfred come out a few months ago to fix a lawnmower that was not starting easily or running smoothly I have continued to have the same problems Alfred did come back after initially not solving the problem. It is true the lawnmower did start but after the first starting it was extremely difficult to start and the motor continued to surge and ebb He took the lawnmower and brought it back. Also worked on the edger again which also does not work well now He charged me for this repair in addition to the first charge I realized that Alfred did not possess the skill set to really adequately work on lawnmowers. I took my mower to a mower shop and they merely adjusted the carburetor and set the RPM's. The mower is running smoothly and starts with a slight pull. I called Alfred and stated that I thought he should reimburse the money I paid for the 2nd fix. He was not in agreement. I left it at that. If he was a professional he would have agreed. He did offer to come out again and work on the mower. I really can not have my mower down when he does not posses the skill set to correct the problem. Alfred at best is a back yard fix it man that is making a few bucks on the side. The problem is when he comes across a problem beyond the simple oil change and blade sharpening he is lost. If you have a bigger problem you need to seek out a professional

Response from Admiral Mobile Lawn Equipment Repair & Service
I am a trained and certified mechanic with twelve years experience and many awards. So I do not consider myself a "backyard fix it man". All my work is fully guaranteed and I take pride in giving my customer satisfaction. Whenever I make a service call and the machines are not fixed, I never charge my customer, although time is spent in checking the machine. I am surprised and disappointed by this member's complaint. On January 1, 2011, he called me to service his lawnmower and edger which I did. The member thanked me, paid the bill and indicated that he was pleased with the job. About two months later, he again called and said that he had problems starting the lawnmower. I went to his home the following day. When I started the lawnmower, it started promptly on the first pull in the presence of he and his wife. They both started the lawnmower at the first pull, while I was there without any problem. I pointed out to them that they were improperly starting the lawnmower, by not putting the choke in the full forward position. There was no charge on this my second visit, although I drove forty miles to explain that there was nothing wrong with his lawnmower, they were just not starting it correctly. I did not take the lawnmower from their property at any time. On that second call he told me that the edger was not working. After checking the edger, I discovered that it was so. I took the EDGER but I did not take the LAWNMOWER. When I worked on the edger, it had contaminated fuel in the system. I fixed it and returned it one week later. I did not see the member but his wife received it and she was pleased with the work that was done. She paid me, I thanked her and left. Some weeks later he called and said the he didn't think that he should pay me a second time for work done on his LAWNMOWER. I explained to him that I didn't work on his LAWNMOWER, because there was nothing wrong with it. I was paid the second time for the repairs on the EDGER because there was contaminated fuel in the system. (I cannot be held responsible for the contaminated fuel the owner used in the machine) At that time he told me that he took the lawnmower to someone else who adjusted the RPM of the engine. Based on the design of the engine, adjusting the RPM would not have any effect of starting the engine, which I mentioned to him. In that conversation he also mentioned that the edger was still not working properly. I told him that I would go back and checked it out. He said do not worry, I do not want you to come and check the edger. I told him that was not fair to me, if he were dissatisfied, he should give me the chance to fix the machines. He kept insisting that he paid me twice for the LAWNMOWER which was not so. In all my years of fixing these machines, this is my first dissatisfied customer. I am very sorry that he misconceived what he paid for. I stand behind my work and my reputation speaks for itself. Thank you for giving me the chance to reply. I hope it is transparent and the truth is seen. (if the story doesn't make sense, its probably not true) Respectfully, Alfred Kiep

Alfred is great, very nice person, does a great job. Prices are more than reasonable and the fact that he comes to your home is priceless. He is very knowledgeable about all brands of lawn mowers, small engines, generators, etc. Alfred is also NOCTI certified.
Description of Work: Fixed our riding lawn mower. Gas was mixing with the oil, Alfred knew exactly what was wrong, he offered to tell my husband how to fix it over the phone but we had him come out. This is the second time we have used his services over the past few years, the first time was for a tune-up (it would have cost us 100 just to have someone pick it up to service and because it is a Snapper not may people work on them.)

Outstanding! Alfred called in advance to tell me he was on the way. He was professional, talkative, showed me each thing he was doing and finished quickly. He even took away the old oil from my engines! Worth every dime and will definitely call him before anyone else for small equipment maintenance.

Alfred came over and checked everything out (our Cub Cadet rider mower wasn't working). He was extremely polite, arrived when he said he would and was very reasonable. The battery was dead, so he replaced it and repaired a bent blade as well. He also gave us some good advice on how to avoid some of these problems in the future.

In preparing for hurricane season I found my portable generator wouldn't start. The generator is quite heavy and I was worried about transporting it to a repair shop. On Angie's list I found Admiral Mobile Lawn Equipment Repair & Service (and others) that would send someone to work on the generator at my house. I called on Tuesday and spoke with Alfred at Admiral. He scheduled a visit for Thursday at 3PM. At 2PM on Thursday he called to confirm the appointment and arrived promptly at 3PM. Alfred was able to identify the problem and quickly make the repair. Alfred was friendly, courteous, and professional, offering advice on how to use/maintain the generator so as to avoid having the problem again in the future.

Alfred Kiep arrived on time and cleaned up when he was finished. First, he patiently listened while I described the problems. Then he managed not to laugh. Knowing I had changed the generator's oil, he checked the dipstick, then added 3/4 of a qt. The generator started right up. Alfred patiently explained how an oil float safety switch protects the motor. He then started the string trimmer on the third pull. "These little engines are sensitive," he said. "Often, if you squeeze the primer bulb as often as the instructions say, they get hopelessly flooded." He then degreased the mower engine, changed the oil, cleaned the filter and sharpened its blades, all in my back yard. What a convenience! Alfred was professional, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. I tipped him extra for the free education (as well as for not laughing) and felt as though I had just made a new friend. I will definitely use him again.

The technician came to the house on time, as promised. Was very polite, organized, and had everything he needed to repair the mower. He spent extra time explaining things to me so I would understand the process. The prices were very reasonable. He couldn't fix the mower that day, but came back later in the week, as promised, and finished the job. He called and followed up.
