AAM'S SMALL ENGINE REPAIR

They repaired the engine and did a nice job. It worked just fine when I went to start it up. They would come and pick it up and drop it off at no cost to you.

I think the deal was a fair price.

I purchased a coupon for a $45 tune-up in which the company would make a house call to turn-up your lawnmower. When I called to make the appointment, they insisted that I bring the lawnmower in. My lawnmower is heavy and I have a small car. That is why I bought the coupon in the first place. So I never got service and wasted $45.

Great service -- easy process, good prices. I would definitely use them again.

It was really nice to have someone come out and do the job at my home instead of my having to take it elsewhere. He came right when he said he would and he was done in about 20 minutes. I've had the mower tuned up by the company I purchased it from the this experience was leaps and bounds better in terms of convenience!

He was fine. He emptied the old fuel. We did find a loose spark plug. I liked that he came to the house.

Fair, professional repair of an older Craftsman Mower. Mower works better than ever now. Highly recommended for mowers or power equipment like grass trimmers or snowblwers.

The service was great in every way. The response was timely and scheduling was easy. My mower was fixed. The coupon was helpful. I lived close enough to the shop so I brought my mower to the shop. I'll use this company again!

I used an Angie's List $60 big deal for a lawnmower repair. It took me a week and a half to make an appointment; every time I called they told me they would get back to me. Finally I insisted so they made an appointment; the guy came out and my lawnmower would never start right after that. I bought a very expensive lawnmower and usually two pulls and it would start; now I pull and it does not start. So I called and asked if he even started the lawnmower when he was working on it and he suggested that the problem was that I was too old and weak. I was furious at this guy so I told him I wanted him to get back out and look at that lawnmower. In the meantime my nephew came to visit me and he has no mechanical abilities but he went through and cleaned the lawnmower, checked the sparkplugs and now that thing works fine. So I was really upset; I paid $60 and he did not do anything. To add insult to injury I see that he is now offering the same service for $40; whether or not he is doing any work with it, I don't know

He arrived on time with a big white AAM'S truck that had a lift gate on the back. He put the snowblower on the lift and changed the oil and spark plug and made some adjustments. He also drained the gas out for summer storage. 20-25 minutes later he was done. It all went well. I will use them again if need be.

I signed up for an Angies list deal and emailed the company about a day or two later. I got an email from them to call the shop and set up an appt. After going back and forth a couple of times the owner came out and changed the oil on the mower and cleaned it up a bit. I couldn't start it since last fall. He had to take it with him because it needed further work because it wasn't starting. No spark. He said it may need a coil and it would be a couple of days. I finally called about a week later because I hadn't heard anything. They called back, said it was finished and set up a time to drop it off, and told me what I owed. I wasn't home at the time so I left a check on the door with a note to put the mower in the yard. I started it up as soon as I got home and called them to say all was good and sorry I shorted them about a dollar on the check. They said don't worry about it and that was about it.The mower has been working fine since. I really liked the fact that he came to my house and I didn't have to try and get the mower over to his shop. That alone was worth it. The people I dealt with were very nice and I trust I got a fair deal for the work performed. I would use them again for sure.

He did a great job and provide some good pointers on our mower. He was prompt and very professional. My only complaint, was his response time on setting up the appt, but overall, I'd use his service again.

We purchased the Angie's List Big Deal for an at-home mower tune up last fall. Earlier this month, I emailed AAM to set up an appointment but got no response. I made three phone calls (I guess I'm the eternal optimist?) and left messages with three different people--none of my calls were returned. I finally just got a refund for the deal. Perhaps they got too busy with the Big Deals they offered, or maybe they didn't want to drive to Arlington Heights. Who knows. What I do know is that it was a disappointing experience overall.

I bought the Angie's List deal for the Lawn mower tune up. The experience was excellent and very professional from start to finish. When I initially called, the person who answered the phone was courteous and kind. Scheduling went well. I booked a morning appointment. The next day I called back because I had to be in my son's classroom at the end of my appointment time, and they were so kind to say that I could be the first appointment that day, so I could continue my day & not be late to my son's classroom. They arrived on time, and work was done thoroughly. Now, I'm ready for my husband to mow the lawn! Hopefully that will get done as promptly.

Called to get some service done on my John Deere to get it ready for the summer. The man who answered the phone took my name and number and had someone else call me. When the call was returned it was by a younger guy who did not know much at all. When I asked him how much it would be, he said he did not know. When I asked him about simple blade sharpening he did now know. When he asked how I found out about his service, I told him angies list, and he seem surprised. Obviously things have changed with this company and the guard has changed. I told him to forget about it, I could not trust a workman who didn't even sound sure of himself on the phone... It was a VERY confusing experience. Deal with this guy with EXTREME CAUTION!

I was told that he tuned it up and changed the oil. I have had issues with my mower, so I took it to another place and they said the oil was not changed and it was very dirty which caused the mower to not work anymore. It is only 3 years old, so I was very disappointed.

They come to our house and do the work, which is great for me. We feel their prices are very good.

Upon arrival, the owner, Elwood noted that I resided about 40 minutes away and promptly took care of me so that I would not have to make a return trip. It was truly a pleasure to be treated so well the first time by a service technician. We need more business men like Elwood. I will definitely use the services at AAM's again and will tell all my neighbors and friends about the top notch service that I received.

Excellent, he showed up as promised, he did the work in a timely manner, very pleasant and explained exactly what he was doing and why. Very pleased!!

The most impressive aspect of Aam's service was their honesty. I used an Angie's List Big Deal to get a pre-winter snowblower tune up. When setting up the appointment, they asked me if there were any specific items that I thought might need replacing so they could preorder and bring those parts along when they did the tune up at our home. I thought the scraper and auger blades were in need of repair, so I let them know. Aam's came out to our house on time and were very professional and courteous. I can't really say much about the tune up, other than the snowblower has been running like a champ this winter. They left the garage as clean as they found it. What was impressive is that they didn't replace the scraper or auger blades. Turns out the parts were just fine so they didn't do any additional work. It would have been very easy for the technician to make the replacements regardless in order to run up extra charges, but he was very up from that those parts were in perfect working order. I always respect an honest business, and Aam's has my complete respect after that visit. I'll be using them every year to make sure my snowblower is in top condition.

I think they were great. The guy was super nice. He drove out to my house and did the work right in my driveway. He was prompt and clean. It was all good. The price is great.

AAM showed up at 8:00 sharp at my residence. The tune-up was completed within 20 minutes. I will definetely call upon AAM next for another pre-season tune-up. The price was extremely reasonable since it was a house call.

I bought the Big Deal coupon and called Elwood. He was very friendly and professional on the phone. My snow blower wouldn't start so he told me some things to try. I figured because i was so close to his shop I asked if I could bring it over and he said yes.Based on service I was receiving from this other shop I've been taking my lawn mower and snow blower to I figured I'd have to leave the blower for a week or two. Boy was I surprised! Either I caught him at a good time or he just does business that way, he brought the blower into the shop right then. 20 minutes later I was on the way home. He fixed it while I waited. Elwood even showed me how to get all the old gas out for summer storage. I was in total shock at his knowledge and friendliness. I was a bit worried because I'm over 70 and it was supposed to snow on the 12th. Needless to say I had my snow blower when I woke up the next morning. AAM's Small Engine Repair now has a new customer.

,Everything went well. They did a great job and were very trustwothy. They showed up on time, explained the work and got it done the same day.

went well; he called to say he was in traffic and might be late but was right on time. took the snowblower, tuned it up and was prompt. will definitely use again
