Mike's Equipment Repair

Snowblower maintenance last year included oil change, annual tune-up, and they even adjusted the spacers at the bottom edge of the front of the snowblower without my asking. Snowblower starts with the pull cord again, as it should--I no longer have to use the electric starter. Lawnmower maintenance a couple of weeks ago: Lawnmower was returned to me cleaner on the outside than ever before (I got the lawnmower used several years ago). They sharpened the blade sharper than I've ever had from my local hardware store. After the oil change and tune up, the lawnmower starts up right away on the first pull. In both cases, for my snowblower and lawnmower, pickup from my house and dropoff back at my house went as planned--very convenient. Mike's Equipment Repair takes Venmo as well as personal checks. The web site is convenient, and communication is by text messages--very responsive.

Great job. Explained how to fix engine over the phone / text without charge. I paid anyway of course.

Emergency Tyre Repair for Snowblower

Pick up arrived as scheduled. Diagnostic done and rider returned within the week.

I dropped it off Saturday morning with major snow expected Monday. Starting issue and a few other things fixed by noon. They dropped it off at home Sunday.

It went perfectly. It actually starts better than it did when it was new.

I had a bad experience with a local company who repaired the mower tractor. It is horrible. It is the worst. They mentioned $90 and then they fixed it and said $400. Not only for myself for my friend they have a push mower and they said $60 and then when they picked up they said $90. They just up their price. They replaced the parts on the tractor but they didn't tell us then they said if you don't like it I can take it back. Just very harsh. We did email maybe text, they text us. The people were very tough. In my experience, you go to body shop and you want to fix the car and you say the price of the part; they would ask you first. They didn't tell us like we are going to fix certain things and this is the price. It's a courtesy at least.

Excellent. Exceeded my expectations. Best customer experience in recent memory. Super easy to work with. Super efficient. Very reasonable price!

20 year old machine runs almost like new!

It went fine. The work was done in a timely fashion at a reasonable price. When I went to start the snowblower a couple of weeks after getting it back, it was running roughly and wouldn't throttle up. This was on Sunday evening about 6 hours before we were supposed to be getting a good sized snow storm. I e-mailed Mike about the problem figuring he might be able to come pick up the unit sometime this week. Surprisingly though, Mike called me within a half hour of my sending the e-mail, saying he was on his way up to the house to take a look at it. Sure enough, he showed up, and fixed the problem(a stuck throttle) in my driveway. That's by far the best service I've ever gotten from anyone. This was the third time I've used Mike's company to service lawn mower and snowblower. I would highly recommend his company for quality and outstanding service.

Pick-up and drop-off were very convenient. Blower runs great, starts first pull.

Pickup, return and repair all went great.

Excellent service, very prompt.

I have worked with Mike before and am using him again because of the honst work, quick response and turnaround time, quality of work and competitive price. I purchased the Toro mower from make a few years ago and it had been running flawless for many seasons without repair. However, it started to have issues with the personal pace/self propelling and only one of the wheels were moving. As it turns out it was probably attributed to user error by me pulling the mower backwards when wheels were still engaged. Oops! I dropped the mower off to Mike as it also was having a hard time starting. I asked Mike to repair it as soon as possible as I had a BBQ lined up and the back yard was starting to look like a jungle. It ended up that there were some rather serious issues with the mower and instead of not having mower, Mike swapped it out for another (identical) mower while he repaired the other. He ended up just having me keep this one and he repaired and kept the one I had. I was able to get the lawn mowed and had the BBQ - all turned out great. I'm still using the mower and the thing runs flawlessly. Solid work as usual!

I got the tractor back relatively quickly given it was the busy time of year. The tractor runs great again.

Mike did a great job on both repairs. Will definately use him again!

Mike responded promptly, picked up the snow blowers and kept me informed when I asked about the status of the job. They were delivered back to us in a few days in better condition than when we first bought them! We will definitely use Mike again for our yard equipment. The fact that he picks up and drops off is a huge time saver for working parents with kids. That's just the icing on the cake when you consider how well the equipment works now.

He even performed an oil change and repaired additional items (chute angle control cable replaced and unit height adjusted), and the price could not be beaten. I would gladly do business with Mike again.

Today 12/31,I resubmitted the form and when I called his #, his OGM says his mailbox is full. More snow is forecast for this Thurs so I will need to find another firm to repair my snowblower. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updated review: After checking pricing on new units, I advised Mike that it couldn't justify repair since I can buy a new similar unit for $700. My unit is a 1978. We picked our unit Mon PM 1/13 at Mike's and he had been able to reseal tire tube and fill both tires and get the unit to start. To Mike's credit, he would not accept my offer of payment for this work. He was pleasant and professional in providing his ramps so we could load our unit in pouring rain. Despite an unacceptable initial experience with Mike's Equipment Repair, I want to upgrade my review to be fair and recognize his effort to step up which is commendable. I would now recommend him.

Excellent response!!! Mike had serviced/tuned-up my snowblower in the fall. We had a large snowstorm this past weekend and the machine worked great. We had a second snow storm on Tuesday, unfortunately the blades would not engage and I was unable to use the snow blower. After manually clearing snow, I emailed Mike at approximatly 7am. Mike contacted me via return email and a phone call by 9am. We agreed to meet at my home after leaving work at 5:30pm. When I arrived home, Mike and his partner were already waiting for me. They immediately discovered the problem with the snow blower and fixed it on site in my own garage. I am extremely pleased with Mike's responsiveness and professionalism. I would highly recommend.

My ridding mower (Cub Cadet LTX 1045) was repeatedly blowing fuses. Mike picked up the mower a couple days after 1st contacting him (no charge for pickup/drop-off since I was in his service area). Mike quickly identified the problem as a faulty ignition switch and promptly emailed me informing me of the problem, the cost and estimated time for the repair to be completed. The work was performed in a timely manner and all in all I was very satisfied with the service. One of the most important things to me was the good communication. Most of the discussions were via email so there was no question about what was said and importantly, no phone tag. I was also very pleased with the cost of the service as well. I would use Mike's Equipment Repair in the future.

I found Mike's on Angie's List, we communicated on email and I took it there, and he asked me if I was in a rush, which I wasn't and so I told him to take his time. He found out that the gas lines had disintegrated, so he replaced those, cleaned the carburator, put oil and gas in, and it runs like a top.

great know-how, great guy, prompt- can't say enough good things about him. A real gem, in a difficult line of work.

Overall the quality of the work appears to be very good. The engine starting problems I was dealing with have been eliminated with the use of the fuel valve. The mower blades engage properly now. The only issue I had was initially getting a response to my request to get the work done. After sending an email rather than posting a message to the web site Mike was responsive and completed the work quickly. Mike picked up my lawn tractor at my house and dropped it off a couple of days later. The tractor came back clean and running smooth.

Great. The lawn mower works great.
