Elwood arrived at the time he'd specified. He tuned-up my lawn mower and when I asked if he'd look at my snow blower, he gave it a tune-up without extra charge. An easy going guy who did good work; I'd hire him again without reservation.
Description of Work: Lawn mower and snow blower tune-up. Elwood came to our house with his repair truck and checked over my lawn mower and snow-blower. He changed the spark plug, filter and oil in the mower and snow blower. He also found the cause of my mower's difficulty in starting; the screws holding the electric starter had fallen out, so he replaced them. The only service he didn't perform was sharpening the lawn mower blades tho I knew that wasn't included in the Angieslist deal.

Unfortunately, AAM was swamped by the response to the Angie's List promotion. Called a couple of times, their responder could not guarantee an appointment and mentioned that the owner would call me back. Finally, the owner did call back and came out as promised. It was a rainy day, so he wheeled my mower into his truck, performed the maintenance service there and returned the mower back to my garage in about 30 minutes. The work was complete and, I assume, it has been done satisfactorily. The owner seemed well meaning, but maybe buried with the "success" of the Angie's List promotion.

We've used AAM'S through Angie's List Big Deal for the second time. In both occasions our yard equipment was tuned up as promised. You do not need to take it anywhere, just leave it outside on specified date. When you come back home later, it is done and ready for a new season. It is that easy. Great service!

They came to my house and performed a spring tune up on my snow blower. He loaded it into his truck and performed the service right there. Very convenient. He was professional and thorough. I had questions later and he came to my house again and made sure everything was ok. I would use this service again.

Snowblower worked flawlessly the following winter. Total cost was considerably less than my previous service and I had to drag the machine to the shop and later retrieve it.
Description of Work: Came to my house to tune up my snow blower. The tech came in a truck fitted as a mobile shop. He completed the work and then showed me the worn scrapper bar (which I already knew was shot.) This was not a part he had on the truck so he took my snowblower with him. He returned about two weeks later with the new bar installed.

Overall the experience went very well. They were very professional to deal with. Lawn mower came back working fine and I haven't had any issues. The only real negative, which is a minor one, was when I went to pick up my lawn mower. When I arrived we were not able to locate it. After a few minutes the owner realized that his son had apparently delivered it to the wrong customer the day before (there was a message on his voice mail about it). He was very apologetic and they ended up delivering it to my house the following day. So in the end it was taken care of with no real issues. I would definitely use their services again.
Description of Work: Brought our lawn mower in for a tune up before the season started. Purchased the $40 deal that was advertised on Angie's List.

Through Angies List I bought a coupon from AAM for lawnmower/snow-blower services sometime in June 2011. I had scheduled a snow-blower tune-up with them for sometime in November 2011. However, 2 days before he would come out my snow-blower was stolen. Since the coupon was good for 12 months I cancelled the November date and told AAM I would call them in Spring 2011 and have them take care of my lawnmower. I did and on the scheduled day and on time Elmer, the owner was in front of my house with his truck after having driven from Elgin to Chicago. He took my lawnmower in the truck where he did the necessary work to make it hum perfect again. Thanks Elmer and I am a satisfied customer.
Description of Work: Complete lawnmower tune-up at my home. There was no need for me to bring it to their shop located in Elgin, Illinois.

This was a great service. He came directly to our house and tuned up our lawn mower to get it ready to store and he tuned up our snow blower to get it ready for winter. Our snow blower had been having problems and he figured out what it was and corrected it for no additional cost. Would definitely use again!

It went exactly as expected. The truck showed at the appointed time. My mower was put on the truck and serviced. The owner notified me when the work was complete. We chatted for a minute and I asked for business cards to distribute. It was, as the saying goes, short, sweet and to the point!
Description of Work: This was one Angie's List Big Deals. The service was everything I could have hoped, timely, convenient and affordable. AAM's did not try to sell me anything additional, parts, service, etc. I will definitely use this company again and I will freely recommend them to anyone needing a service they provide!

Scheduled appointment to coincide with nearby appointments as I am on the outer perimeter of service area.Nevertheless, service was quickly provided. I prefer having both the lawn mower and snow blower serviced at the same time.AAM'S allowed me to use 2 Angie's List Offers for both pieces of equipment. Offering on site tune-ups is a valuable servicewhich makes AAM'S a service I will likely use again. Professional and friendly.
Description of Work: AAM'S Small Engine Repair performed on site tune-ups for both my lawn mower and snow blower.
