I bought tires on special order and was told they would be in within 2 to 3 days , after waiting a month for them to come in, the parts manager more than doubled the price. I told him that wasn’t legal and he said “fine, than I’ll be illegal”. That’s bad business practices. They should have apologized for making me wait and gave me the tires, instead I had to leave without my tires and don’t have a working mower.

Description of Work: I took my snow blower in for repair, guy said that not only was a plastic part cracked that would cost about $100, but that the blades themselves lost the rubber flap part--that was the flaw design of a Craftsman--best just to replace. So, no service, but I didn't get charged for anything, and Sears would have charged just to look at it.

Description of Work: I called about a snowblower that was not working. They suggested I bring it in to see if one of "the guys" could get it started. I did that and then was told that I would have to leave it and pay a $20 deposit that would be applied against a repair. Since it was already there and unloaded, I left it. I got a call a few days later that it was not worth fixing. I learned after I'd dropped it off that other services likely would not charge to look at it to assess whether or not if could be fixed. I would use another service for future mower and snowblower needs.

Got my mower back the next week. It runs like a charm. Thanks.
Description of Work: Due to flooding in royal oak, my lawnmower took a brief "bath" and wouldn't start. Billings did a diagnostic, repairs & tune up.

Great service! Gave me exactly what I needed. Saved me tons of money!
Description of Work: My walk behind mower had been running poorly, backfiring and stalling after a few minutes. I hadn't taken great care of it over the last several years, so I wasn't surprised. I took it into Billings for a tune, figuring I was going to spend a good chunk to get it running. I also expected a long wait since it's early May and they would be backed up with repairs (one week was the quote). What happened next was the surprise! The service desk manager listened to the problem and told me to talk to the guy at the parts counter, as he might have some suggestions for fixing it myself. He told me to start with replacing the gas, draining the carburetor and changing the spark plug. Cost me less than $4. He even told me what to do after every use to make sure it continues to run (turn off the gas and run it till it stops), never leave gas in the tank for no more than a couple weeks. $4 bucks and good advice when they could have sold me a tune up for a bunch more. That's integrity. They even got me touch with a local landscaper who was in the shop to help me with replacing my lawn! And my mower now runs flawlessly.

The receiver on my plow was losing signal. I can usually figure things out myself but in this case I needed a pro. Billings has the best trained mechanics. I have to admit too sometimes I go in there for no reason just to say Hi and get a cup of coffee, the staff are great. They have been helping me for about 7 years now and I would not be in business if it wasn't for their help. The mechanic diagnosed my plow for hours and when it was done gave me a detailed explanation of the problem he fixed. Now it is working great!
Description of Work: They diagnosed and fixed my plow. Always a great job they are nice guys

I chose them because they were just around the street from me and they charged me less than I expected. This was the first time I used them and they called me when they started servicing the equipment. They let me know exactly what was wrong with them and told me how much it would be above or below the original estimate. Then they asked what direction I wanted to go and got it done sooner than they thought. They were pretty good and I will use them again in the future.

My lawn mower was running poorly (would run for a bit, then it would stop). It had not been serviced in a long time, so I took it to Billings near my home. I specifically mentioned it was not running well. About a week and a half later they called and said it was ready. I picked it up and attempted to cut my lawn, but the same problem occurred. They were closed by this point, and my lawn was getting obnoxiously long, so I spent about 2 hours attempting to get it running (bought new gasoline, swapped the old fuel for new, yadda yadda yadda). The mower still would not run right. Took it back the following Monday, their guy called the next day and said the carb needed replacing. And after pulling some teeth they finally gave me an estimate on what it would cost (on top of what I already paid). I ended up being without a running lawn mower for almost a month. I also asked for a loaner mower, so I could cut my lawn, they refused. They also refused to have one of their commercial customers (of which there are many, I see their vehicles in the lot all the time) cut my small Royal Oak lawn. And they refused to give me any kind of discount for all my troubles.
