This company came from a long way away (I was surprised at that). He did a good job, and for 2011 and 2012 lawn mowing seasons, we've had no issues with the lawn mower. I liked the fact that he did the work right here. I wish we'd used him for a recent snow blower repair! We went locally because we were just having one tire repaired but because it had to be picked up to do that (they didn't do the work in our driveway like AAM did), there was a minimum charge. So we had it tuned up and that total cost was astronomical (including the pickup and delivery fees). I WISH we had used AAM and will in the future.
Description of Work: Bought a Big Deal to get our lawn mower tuned up.

Really cool as he came to me - took my mower put on a lift and into his truck did everthing in 30 minutes and I was off to mow the lawn that day. With others you have to take it to them which can be hard to do in a sports car then usually leave for a week and then pick it up

They responded quickly to my call and scheduled for the following week. They showed up on schedule and finished the tune-up on site. Clean, quick and the snow blower works great! I will use them again.

I obtained the special deal on Angie's List for a lawn mower tuneup. The technician came to our house with his truck and did the tune-up on the spot. I made the appointment and they were very punctual. Lawn mover runs great. Didn't have to load the lawn mover into the trunk and transport it - they just do it right on the spot. Excellent concept. I'd highly recommend them!

As I said above, I wasn't home. But they were very helpful on the phone and performed the service I required.
Description of Work: I wasn't home when the work was performed (I left my snowblower outside) so I can't really tell you that. All I know is that my snowblower is ready (more than me, that is) for winter. I usually procrastinate so I was very grateful for the service and to you for offering such a good deal. And I'm not sure of the date!

I purchased 3 repair packages; for lawn mower, roto-tiller, and snow-thrower. The repairman changed the oil, cleaned, and tuned all three units and sharpened the lawnmower blade. He showed up on time, was extremely courteous, and did an excellent job on all three machines. A+ rating and I will definitely use his service again!

I purchased an Angie's Deal for $40. I took my mower to their shop. A nice young man (the owner's helper) tuned up my lawn mower and sharpened its blade while I waited. He lifted the mower from my car and put in back in (which would have been a problem for me). He explained everything he did and told me how to maintain my mower.
Description of Work: They tuned up my lawn mower - replaced spark plug, changed oil, sharpened its very dull blade.

The serviceman arrived as scheduled and work was completed within 30 minutes. Courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient. I would use this service again.
Description of Work: This was one of Angie's coupon deals. Two tune-ups for gasoline powered equipment for the price of one. I had my snowblower tuned last fall and my mower tune this spring. Oil drained an refilled, new spark plugs installed, carburetor adjusted, blades sharpened, chassis and undercarriage cleaned, linkages adjusted and tightened.

Very convenient to use as the representative came to the house to service the lawn mower. It was very easy to schedule a time and the owner and the repairman were both very nice. My wife was present when the work was performed. I had not told them that I had lost the gas cap and the repairman did not have one with him so it was not replaced. I will take the blame for that. Only shortcoming was that the I thought the mower was to be cleaned as well as serviced, however, while it was a little cleaner, it certainly had not been fully cleaned - grass still stuck to undercarriage, etc. I will say, though, that the mower ran much smoother than it had prior to servicing which was my main goal. I would use them again but specify the missing gas cap and inquire as to whether a general cleaning is included.
Description of Work: General tune-up of lawn mower. Don't recall date of service but in the Spring.

It was incredibly convenient to have them come to the house to perform the service and not have to worry about trying to load the machines in my car. I was very pleased with the performance of the lawnmower over the summer. I'm expecting that the snowblower will be ready to go come winter.

We did have a problem but it wasn’t the repair service. We had a problem with the mower. My husband was quite satisfied with the company. They explained the problem and why there was a delay with the parts. The lawn mower has run fine since they have repaired it. It was repaired properly.
