Description of Work: We have used Bob repeatedly over the years. In the fall to get the snow blower ready for winter and in the spring to ready the lawnmower. He's reliable and thorough. He's a busy man so you have to wait your turn. Worth the wait.

Bob was super efficient. He arrived early and quickly started the snowblower, which we could not get started. Then he changed the oil and we were all set.

In a word, Excellent. I called and left a message asking for a return call in the morning. Call was returned just after lunch. Made an appointment and Bob showed exactly on schedule. Took care of all of the items that I knew were wrong and informed me of several other items needed, which he fixed also. Finished in a timely manner and everything worked well. Oh, and did I mention that he came to my house? No need to try to haul my oversized snowblower to a shop or pay for a pickup and drop off. That alone would have been more than my entire repair bill. To say that I thought his bill was reasonable would be an understatement! I would recommend him without reservation! It simply does not get any more convenient than this.
Description of Work: Repaired and tuned up both my snowblower and lawnmower. Replaced blade and one front drive wheel on the mower plus did a routine tune up including changing oil, filters and plug. Tuned snowblower and replaced broken cable.

Since I have an older mower for which parts are hard to find, I had the new blades, and oil filter on hand. Bob arrived when he said he would and performed the necessary service efficiently - important because he charges by the hour. I would use again.

He knows where my lawnmower lives and just services it and puts it away and just leaves a bill. Very convenient. I think last year was the first time I actually met him.
Description of Work: I did find the last time I used him. He has been servicing my lawnmower for years and never had a problem. He is going to do it again on 6/13/14. Never had a question. He always returned my calls the same day and fit me in as quickly as possible.

Bob arrived on time, with the necessary parts for my snowblower, and performed the repair right in my driveway, from his well-equipped truck. He worked quickly and efficiently, patiently explained every step of his procedure to me, and gave me advice on future care of the snowblower. This gentleman is outgoing, very professional, and very knowledgeable about his trade. He works efficiently and pays careful attention to detail. (After replacing my impeller cable, he found and replaced a broken spring in the machine that I was not even aware existed.) His price is extremely reasonable. If I ever have need of snowblower or lawnmower repair in the future, I will certainly call on Bob to do the work.

I couldn't have been happier with Bob's Small Engine Repair. Bob examined my snow blower and determined that my gas line had a leak. He let me know up front that if the gas line had to be repaired it might cost a bit because it would need to wind through the engine. He explained that if it was just the connection at the valve then it would cost significantly less. I agreed to his pricing and he set to work. He did need to replace my gas line but charged me a much lower price than originally quoted because it wasn't and quot;difficult to replace.and quot; I had mentioned to Bob, when he first arrived at my house, that I hadn't been able to manually start the snow blower in the last 5 years but had needed to rely on the electric start (which was frustrating when the snow blower would stop running at the end of my driveway and I would have to push it back to the garage to plug it in to start!). While Bob had worked on the engine he noticed that the snow blower ran very rough and that the spark plug wasn't functioning as well as it should be (not surprising since it hadn't been replaced in 10 years) and that the engine was pretty dirty. He offered to tune up the snow blower, replace the spark plug, and clean the engine for a few dollars more - well worth the price!! I agreed and he spent another hour working. In the end, my gas leak was fixed, my spark plug was changed, and my snow blower worked better than it had in years! He was pleasant, efficient, timely and professional! I will call him without hesitation in the future and would highly recommend him to my friends and family!
Description of Work: I called Bob's Small Engine Repair after my snow blower developed a gas leak. He repaired the gas leak, as well as replacing my spark plug and cleaning my engine.

Bob determined a part needed to be ordered for my snowblower, so I ordered the part and he returned to install it. He also sharpened the blades on my riding mower while he was here. He was likeable, efficient, prompt and the bill was reasonable. He found a way to fix the snowblower as inexpensively as possible. I was very happy with his service. I did not have to wait around for him to show up during a span of hours...he made an appointment for a specific time and honored it.
Description of Work: Came to house to look at snowblower and repaired drive shaft, also sharpened blades on riding mower.
