Took a perfectly good lawn mower to them and snow blower and came back with junk, not repaired and in worse shape than when I brought it in including missing parts.

I used Little Engines several years ago with only moderate success.  All I remember about that long past experience was that it took them a month to tune-up my tiller in the middle of growing season.  However, I've had worse experiences, so decided to test them again.  It's hard to find a parking place because the lot is full of trucks that are there all of the time, and things are packed in tight making it hard to maneuver a truck. I was told all of those trucks belonged to the pawn shop next door. Nobody helped me unload my 2 mowers, so I did it and rolled them into the front door.  The person at the desk didn't acknowledge me.  He was busy talking to somebody else and answering calls.  They clearly cater to to lawn professionals.  After some time, they handed me some claim checks to fill out.  I asked a simple question and could tell the guy was in no mood for questions.  They told me to check back in 7 days.  In 7 days, I was told that they meant 7 business days.  I got a call about one mower that they said had a bad cylinder and should I have them recycle it.  No proof.. Just had to trust them.  After the 10th business day, I got a call on one other item that was ready.  I asked about the other two items.  Not ready.  On the 12th business day, everything was ready and that my 6 month old leaf blower could not be repaired.  It too had a bad cylinder, which of course I had to trust them on that too.  I never got any proof.  Prices weren't bad and both items run just fine now.  You have to go around back to what looks like an automotive scrap yard to pick up mowers.  They sent it out with some guy that looked to be 80 years old and 100 lbs.  So, of course, I lifted my mower into my truck by myself, although he did offer to help.  It seems like a lot to put up with to get things fixed.  I will probably try somewhere else next time to see if anyone really wants my business
Response from LITTLE ENGINES
"[Member Name Removed], I apologize for the experience displayed when having your equipment in for repair here. I do however want to assure you that although we do have a lot of commercial foot traffic here we DO NOT cater to them, we are surrounded by homeowners non-commercial of course and that is who we proudly serve. Now on the topic of your equipment that had low compression/ scoring of the piston and cylinder, we offer to EVERY customer that has equipment that is bad/beyond repair ample opportunity to come in and review first hand with a technician their equipment so that they can fully understand and acknowledge what happened, so they have the knowledge on proper equipment usage and maintenance procedures for future use. We are as of right now cleaning up the lot as you are not the first person to complain about parking we want every customer to feel welcomed and comfortable when coming to Little Engines. Although your experience here was not the best, we are making great effort to rectify the situation in hopes that we can serve you in the future."
