Powerwasher fixed - Generator left unfinished. Was supposed to order a part and never did. When I followed up said that he was very busy and would call me the next day but never did.

Description of Work: They told me I had to pay $60 to even look at my pressure washer. I paid it reluctantly. When I hadn't heard from them in almost 4 weeks, I stopped in to pick it up. "We're short staffed, so it hasn't been looked at yet." Long story short, it took 6 weeks for them to take one look at my pressure washer and tell me that the pump was leaking and could not be repaired. A new pump would cost as much as buying a brand new pressure washer. I told them 6 weeks before that the pump was leaking! So, they made $60 for doing 5 mins. work that took them 6 weeks. They couldn't have offered to refund half my money for making me (patiently) wait that long for nothing? |

Thadd's was so professional and kind. They explained to my husband what he had to do to fix the lawn mower himself. They saved us over $60.00 and turned away business by helping us fix the mower ourselves. I have the utmost respect for this company and would not only use them again but highly recommend them. It's nice to see in this day and age that there are honest people who will actually help you out when you are in a bind.
Description of Work: My husband and I brought our broken lawn mower to Thadd's. They were incredibly professional and kind to us.

I took it in one day and described my problems to a tech, John, who was said to work only on power washers. he listened patiently and surmised that the problem was primarily due to using gasoline with ethanol which can gum up the carburetor and fuel system. I paid a $60 deposit that would be put toward eventual service cost and was told that it could be as long as a week for the repairs to be done. Late the next day, I got a call from John saying that it was done and running like a top. The next morning I went to pick up my machine. John ran it for me with all my attachments to be sure everything was running properly. He patiently answered all my questions to my satisfaction and helped me lift the machine back in my SUV. In addition to the $65 charge to clean out the carburetor and fuel system, I purchased some additive for ethanol gas and a turbo nozzle that brought the whole bill to $110. John also advised me where to find gasoline without ethanol. I got the machine home and immediately cleaned my driveway, gutters & eaves and the entire front of my house. The machine now works as well as it did when brand new. I cannot speak highly enough of the fine service that I was given at Thadd's. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone who has need for small engine repair.
Description of Work: Examined Karcher Power Washer for uneven running and loss of power. Cleaned carburetor and fuel system. Ran and tested machine when done. Explained whole process to me in detail and answered my questions.

They trouble shot the problem with my generator and gave me an estimate on what it would cost to fix. One of the mechanics came out and talked to me about the problem and gave me several suggestions on what to do. He was very helpful and professional. I did not use them for the repair because the cost would have been as much as a replacement The $65.00 was the cost on tearing the engine apart and to diagnose the problem.

Description of Work: Excellent customer service. Took my lawn mower in on Monday & picked it up on Thursday (they had said turn-around is usually 1 week but mine was finished sooner than expected). Staff is welcoming & informative - repairs/maintenance were affordable & mower is running perfectly!

He did an excellent job at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: My Yamaha generator had been sitting idle for several months and would not start in spite of all the checks recommended in the manual. Thadd picked it up, took it to his shop, found the problem was in the carburetor, made the repair and got it working again.

Everything was great! No complaints.
Description of Work: We received very professional service from Thadd. Thadd did not return the rider mower until he was certain that the mower was repaired properly. We were very impressed and happy that there are honest people doing business! Thanks so much!

Thadd was extremely friendly and asked me questions about the mower. He asked me if I wanted him to put a new blade on it, and after he lifted the mower and I saw that the blade was bent and part of it was broken off and completely missing, I asked him if he would please do that as well. He estimated that it would be about three or four days before the mower would be ready for pick up. An hour and a half after I dropped the mower off, Thadd called me to tell me it was done! I went back and he explained in detail what was wrong with the mower, and showed me the kinked pull cord which he replaced, the new mulching blade was on, it had all of its routine maintenance, the handle was fixed better than new, AND Thadd had powerwashed it - it looked amazing! And it now runs and cuts like it hasn't in years. Thank you, Thadd, for promoting the small business work ethic which still can flourish because of its honesty and customer care!
Description of Work: My mower wasn't working at all. The last time it was working, it would not shut off! I had to pull the spark plug. Also, the handle of my mower had been crushed by my garage door and was really difficult to use.
