Joe Hruska is the best small engine mechanic I have ever met. He overhauled the carb on my pressure washer and answered all my questions about putting the machine up for winter storage. He finished the job on time and at a very fair price. And he's friendly to add.
Description of Work: He cleaned the carburetor, cleared the detergent vacuum port, and ran a full inspection.

He called me back right away. He doesn't do pick ups, but gave me a number to someone(his comp) who does. (not many people would do that) I really appreciated that and would use him for sure if I could get my machine to him. Thank you very much for your help!

The service was good and he was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We had a long talk about the quality and availability of parts for this model of snow blower and this manufacturer. I dropped off the snow blower and he gave me a realistic time when it would be done. He called me when it was ready. The fee was reasonable and it runs fine. I would recommend to others.
Description of Work: My 2 year old snow blower had old gas left in the tank over the summer and it fouled the carburetor, so it would not start. He cleaned the carb and fuel line and it now works great

Great! The pull starter works better than it did when it was new and is easy to start. Once started, the engine works smoothly, and better than it has for years.
Description of Work: I was unable to start my large Snapper snowblower last season. The gasoline was deteriorated and leaked. This machine was my father's and is about 25 years old. It had an electric start, but that was repaired on two occasions that I know of, and the pull start was the only way to get the engine to start. This had always been a difficult pull start due to the recoil. The owner, Joe, was able to not only get the snowblower running consistently again, but I could finally use the pull starter without hurting myself! He did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced especially considering the cost of buying a new machine of the same quality and size.

Joe at Precision Small Engine Repair fixed the carburetor and replaced the air cleaner cover,he was busy but still finished it up quickly. He also took the time to investigate converting it to electric start for me. I highly recommend Joe and his shop, and will use him again in the future.

Went very well. I would not take my equipment to anyone else.
Description of Work: I ran my Sears 5 hp snowthrower out of oil and the engine froze up. I took it to Precision. He fixed it without replacing the engine or any parts. He told me that it might burn a little mor oil than usual but that has not been the case. I love this snowthrower and did not want to replace it so I was elated that he was able to repair it. He did not overcharge and got the work done in very little time. I have taken other equipment to him and have always been happy. I am going to take a Honda self-propelled lawn mower in to him today and I will be able to write a review on work that is more recent but, I can say that Precision is above board and I would take my small equipment to no-one else.

My husband went out to blow the snow from the driveway yesterday.. The engine seized up and we discovered that there was no oil in it. (BTW - the dip stick had a dark color at the end, so he thought it was ok.) We initially thought that we would have to have a new machine, but before going out and replacing it we called Precision Small Engine. Joe indicated that he had had some success in fixing issues like this. So, my husband took the machine over yesterday, 12-1, and today at about 3PM he picked it up - the machine is running again! And, all for $75 (much better than over $600 to replace it!) Definitely a good experience. Joe is extremely friendly, is very helpful, does not over charge and works quickly. He is not a goucher. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
