Description of Work: I took in a mower for repairs. I was told it would probably be a couple of weeks. It was four weeks. The repairs were done and have lasted, but no one should have to be without a lawnmower for that amount of time.

Description of Work: Dropped off my snowblower on a Saturday. Discussed the issue(s) with a non starting engine. After looking at the snowblower he called me next Monday morning and advised me of the problem and a quote to fix it. I advised him to fix the snowblower and work was completed by Monday afternoon. Great service, quick response, and very reasonable.

If taking your lawn mower in to be fixed can be a pleasant experience, than this was it. Very nice people at the shop. They did exactly what I wanted them to. I just showed up with my lawn mower. They unloaded it from my vehicle for me. I told them what was wrong (pull cord broke) and they assured me it would be no problem to fix. They did in fact fix it and in a timely manner too. Never missed a beat on getting the yard mowed again. Thank you RG Small Engine Repair. I have filed your name in a permanent file for future repairs!
Description of Work: The pull cord broke on our Honda mower. I looked on Angie's List and found RG Small Engine Repair. The reviews were outstanding on this business. Added bonus was that they weren't very far from where we live. The back wheels on the mower could use replacing too as well as the blade sharpened. I took the mower down to RG Small Engine Repair, as you don't need an appointment, and they assured me they could and would fix the mower and replace the wheels and sharpen the blade. This was on a Thursday. The next day I got a phone call to tell me of the estimated cost to make sure I still wanted to do the repairs. I thought the price was very fair and told them to go ahead. Saturday morning I picked up the lawn mower! Pull cord is all fixed, new wheels on the back and the blade is nice and sharp. Great experience. Nice people that do a good job.

Experience was great! I did not feel like I was getting a fast one pullled over on me and felt that the owner Rob was doing this because helping others and offering a fair price was his way of giving back!
Description of Work: Had to have the recoil on my lawn mower replaced (that's the start pull and the top part of the mower). My mower quit working and I did alot of research to determine the problem and took it apart myself. After two hours of trying to fix the dogspring and get it repaired, I was frustrated and decided I did not want any part of fixing it. I found RG Small Engine Repair on Angie's list and the ratings were great, so I emailed the owner Rob and he was responsive and gave me an estimate based on my description and said he would confirm that once I brought it in. I took it in and the estimate he gave me was for the problem that he thought I had from describing it to him. I dropped it off in the morning and he called me that afternoon to tell me it was done. I picked it up later that day. The new pull start is better than the old one as I hardly have to pull on this new one to get it started. He cleaned it up as well and it is back to fantastic! I had looked at the parts on-line that were needed and what I could have bought them for and put them on myself; however, Rob was fair and came between five and ten dollars of what the parts would have cost me (without shipping). I figure once I added in shipping and being mostly sure I was getting the correct thing, I would much rather have Rob do it and save me the time and headache. His prices were extreamly fair and I am so glad to have found a place that still believes that a handshake, name and phone number is good enough as opposed to putting your credit card up front and then see how it goes.I will definately go there again!!

I have to say this was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a repair. I believe I could have walked away after he cleared the cylinder of oil without paying a cent. This remined me of the days when you could have a personal relationship with a mechanic/repairman. I will be seeing RG at least annually to get maintenance done on my mower.
Description of Work: I got to RG's at about 8 AM. I could not start (pull the start cord) on my lawn mower after stopping to empty the grass catcher. RG asked if I had tipped the mower on its side recently and I said yes I tipped the mower on its side to drain the oil before putting in new oil. RG said that was the problem, I had oil in the cylinder. He removed the spark plug, gave a pull on the cord, and oil shot out of the spark plug hole. At that point RG said he could put the plug back in and I could take the mower home. I decided to let RG do a complete tune up (air filter, spark plug, correct oil level, sharpen and balance the blade, and lube the self propelled wheel assembly. RG said fine, I'll have it within a couple of hours. I returned at about 4:30 PM and pickup up my lawn mower. RG and his assistant described the work done and started the mower. RG charged me the regular price for a tune-up with no extra charge for lubing the self propelled wheel assembly. I recommend RG Small Engine Repair to anyone in or near Olathe, KS needing repair work or maintenance work done on a lawn mower.

Both of the gentlemen who worked there were very, very pleasant and assured me that I'd have my mower back within a few days. They called 2 days later to advise that it was ready. The mower was fixed promptly. Price seemed fair - not great but not bad given services performed. I was grateful to have the mower back quickly after my very disappointing experience w/ another company.
Description of Work: After having a very disappointing experience w/ another company, I found this company on Angie's List and, due to the multiple postiive reports, I took my Lawn Boy mower to them for a tune up and to have the self-propel fixed (it no longer worked).

Based on reports from Angies List, we took the Toro mower to RG's. The owner waited on us, and we dropped off the mower. Within an hour he called to say that it was repaired. He spent about 45 minutes working to get the belt that had slipped back in place. The fee was VERY reasonable - less than $30. A less reputable shop could have told us the watchamacallit needed a new thingabob and charged over $100 - we wouldn't have known the difference. It's so good to find an establishment that provides an honest, fair service. He was friendly, professional, fast and reasonably priced. What more would you want? Also, his posted prices for winter tune-up, sharpening, etc. is a third of what we paid last year at Sears. We'll definitely go back.
Description of Work: He repaired the self-propelled feature on our Toro mower by "wrenching" a belt back in place. It's now good as new.

Discount Lawnmower got us taken care of after way too much stress with mowers that wouldn't start several times throughout the season. Also, don't forget to empty your tanks in the winter. The preservatives in the gas can corrode the tanks. As far as the response that you don't know us, check the record under Haney. Thnx
Description of Work: We had two mowers serviced in the early spring. Neither mower was in disrepair we just wanted the blades sharpened, the spark plugs checked/replaced if needed, the carburetor checked etc. It took two weeks for the service to be completed and when our mowers were returned one didn't work. We took it back in to be fixed. In July both mowers started to rev hard and die. I took the mowers back to another shop that confirmed what I already knew-- nothing had been serviced on the mowers in March. The blades were incredibly dull, the carburaters were gummed and the spark plugs were needing replaced.

The self-propelled feature of my Toro lawn mower wasn't working. I took it to R G. Rob checked out the mower (for no charge) and called me the same day with an estimate to repair it. The estimate was very reasonable, and I instructed him to do the work. He fixed the mower in a couple of days, and now it works fine.

I tried everything to get my four year old Toro lawn mower running after it failed to start. Then I called RG Small Engine for a free diagnosis and estimate to see if something could be done to fix it for a reasonable price. After looking at it the very next day, they discovered a serious problem (a broken piston connector rod). The mower repair cost was high enough that they recommended I go out and buy a new mower instead. They offered to recycle my old mower at no charge. I liked the quick service, the free estimate, the pickup and delivery service (available at a low cost), and the friendly, professional communications. My experience was very good. If I have a problem with my new mower, then I will definitely call RG Small Engine.

Rob came with his trailer and picked up the rototiller. He said it would probably take 2 days. I was called the next day and was told that the job was done. He explained all that he had done. I was impressed with the work and everything he checked to make sure it was in good working order. The price he charged was very reasonable and I definitely got my money's worth. I highly recommend RG Small Engine and will use again.

I learned of RG's from a radio ad and decided to try them out since they offered pick up and delivery. I called on 3/8 and the mower was promptly picked up this morning, 3/9. I placed another call to Rob this morning when I realized I had forgotten to ask him to replace the broken rear wheel height adjustment. He indicated there would be no problem in replacing it. Late aternoon I had a message indicating the mower was ready and he would bring it back by tonight if that was convenient. He arrived around 7 p.m. with the mower. Not only had it been serviced, he replaced the wheel height adjustment as promised and said there was a broken spring that he replaced on the self-propel mechanism. He had cleaned it up top and bottom, waxed the top and filled up the gas tank. It looked brand new. The pickup/delivery charge was $15, but I felt it was well worth it to not have to wrestle the mower into the back of my Explorer. I don't know how far his coverage area is for this particular service, but it sure can save your back! It as refreshing to do business with a company that truly understands the meaning of great customer service. I would highly recommend RG Small Engine to anyone in the area needing mower service or mower repairs.
