It went excellent. He came out and picked it up. He then fixed it and brought it back when he was done.

Elwood came all the way out to Wilmette, from Elgin, and did the work in < 30 min from his truck. The appointment was for a date ~ ~4-5 days after I called, he was very prompt and excedingly friendly. Needless to say, everything worked great afterwards. This guy is a rare treat; A businessman who is honest, grateful for business, talented, delivers what he promises and for a very reasonable fee. I would without reservation refer anyone to him. I will definitely use him again. Too bad more of our household needs can't be met by someone like Elwood.

Just like I read in the reviews here: All work was done in company's truck in front of my house thus saving me from having to bring the lawnmower in my car to a repair shop. The repair work was complete in about 20 minutes. This was the mowers first tune up in many years (even though I change the oil every season) Also the transmission of my self-propelled walk-behind mower had not been working right fro several seasons and I asked Elwood to repair it. He told me that if it required any parts he did not have on his truck, that he would have to take back to his shop and return later in the week. This was OK with me BUT as it turned out he was able to repair it on site same visit. I felt the price paid was very fair. The appointment was made in one phone call and I got the next available time he was in my area about 6 days later. This was fine for me. For customers expecting same-day on-site service, it may not be possible due to existing schedules and routing but I knew this was to be expected from the reviews and I had time on my side. For me waiting the few days for quality on-site service at a good price was perfect. The operator (Elwood) was personal and professional.

Description of Work: Tune up our snow blower. After inspection he informed us that it was more cost effective to buy another unit rather than fix one which is older.

I took my lawn mower to AAM's early in the morning. My mower was fixed in 20 minutes. I was given some tips on how to keep my mower running efficiently, and prolong the engine life. If I have any problems with my mower or snow blower going forward, I will take them to AAM's!

My experience with Aam's Small Engine Repair was excellent. I especially liked the fact that Aam's comes to the house. I didn't have to transport my mower to a repair shop, wait days to get it repaired, and then transport it back home. My mower was fixed correctly and quicker than I expected. I am happy to give Aam's a review of straight A's.
Description of Work: My 13 year old Honda mower started, but then sputtered out. I repeatedly restarted it, and it would run for about a minute, and die. I replaced the spark plug, but it made no improvement. I phoned Aam's because he has excellent reviews, and he comes to the house. I made an appointment for the next day in the morning. Elwood arrived on time, actually a little early. He diagnosed the a problem with the carburetor. He cleaned the carburetor jets, sharpened the blade and replaced the air filter. He also adjusted the carburetor which greatly improved the power. The old Honda now runs better than it did when it was new. And Elwood was in and out in 20 minutes.

Work was very efficient from start to finish.
Description of Work: Lawn mower and snow blower conditioning. Brought a truck with all supplies in it and took care of the mower and snow blower right in the truck. Did a very good job. I don't remember how much it cost, but it was very reasonable. Don't remember the date of service, just put an approximate date, and don't have how much spent.

The owner is SO nice. He called us to set up the service for our lawnmower, came out and picked it up and was completed with the work so quickly. He then called to arrange drop off to our home. We got our lawn mower repaired and ready for this season without leaving our house. We will definitely use his services again to keep our lawn mower running well.

I took it in to the shop and the work was completed as promised. With the draught last year I didn't use it right away and when I did I noticed the gas was leaking. They came to my home and repaired it in a short time at no charge. I'd definitely use AAM's again.

This is the second time I've used Aam's Small Engine Repair. Elwood is honest, reliable, and does quality work.
Description of Work: Elwood put my snowblower to sleep for the spring/summer and got my lawn mower and tiller ready for spring. He replaced the cord on my snowblower b/c it was frayed (which I didn't know) and he thoroughly cleaned/sharpened my lawn mower.
