This guy is the best. Rick fetched the broken mower within less than 24 hours of me calling him, did all the repairs, and had it back to me in about two hours tops. I didn't have to ask him to sharpen the blade, he knew I'd want it. Get Rick to do everything "motor." Honestly I think he's a genius, but so humble. A++ work, we use him for all our mowers, including riding mower.
Description of Work: Our push mower was blowing blue smoke for about an hour, then died. Rick fixed air filter, spark plug, oil, sharpened blade and some other "magic" that made the engine purr.

It's perfect. Riding mower purrs like a kitten, runs like a trooper, works fully functional because of Rick. Book him, you can't go wrong.
Description of Work: This's guy's a genius. We had just had a dealership do preventive maintenance on our riding mower, and suddenly the mower just "croaked." Called Rick and he speedily found the "real" problems, fixed them with the insight of a seasoned professional. His price was less than half what we paid the dealership for preventive maintenance. We will be calling Rick for everything from here on out, including our push mower (which he tuned up last year for extremely reasonable prices). Get Rick for any mower, any motor, any problem a dealer can't fix.

He was on time and tuned up and sharpened the blade of our lawn mower. He attempted to "revive" a gas/oil edger but was unable to do so. He did recommend a local place to have it repaired, which was helpful. Overall a good experience, as he comes to you to do the work.

Just got the mower back. Major problem was a carburetor gasket leak. He replaced the gasket, cleaned the carburetor, replaced the spark plug, changed the oil, cleaned the air filter, sharpened the blade, adjusted the throttle, retorqued the bolts and cleaned the whole machine and charged only $50 plus $20 for picking up and dropping off the mower. Can't beat that! Really great, nice guy. No wonder he has nothing but praise on his Angie's List page.

Mr. Held performed all services previously discussed including pick up and delivery of one tractor. We would not hesitate to utilize his services in the future.
Description of Work: We contacted this company for an estimate to repair one mower. We ended up have 3 mowers serviced (belts, blades, spring tune ups, tie rod replacement, gas lines, etc.). One tractor was too big for our trailer so Mr. Held provided pick up and delivery.

I have used Rick several times before, and the service is always excellent. Rick picked up my Toro 22" mower, changed the oil and filter, sharpened the blade, cleaned the mower and then delivered it back to me -- all this for a price that is about half of several other local mower shops, who don't pick up or deliver without hefty extra fees.

I hit a large tree root which bent the blade on my brand new mower as well as threw off the timing of the engine. Rick replaced the blade, which I purchased and did not want to do myself. He also replaced an adapter that had cracked and adjusted the timing so the mower ran as good as new again.

Rick is amazing! We've had really bad luck with our riding lawn mower this year, and he has come through every time. For the biggest project, right at the start of the season, he was busy and quoted two weeks (other companies were quoting 4-6 weeks at that time of year). I was a little over a week from the first call until we had our mower back and working; not bad at all, considering he picked up and delivered the mower. The other three times he was able to come over within a day or two and address the problem. He showed up, was friendly, explained exactly what was wrong, and fixed it on the spot. Amazing work, friendly, efficient, knows his mowers. Great experience!
Description of Work: We've actually used him 4 times in the last month or so: 1) Mower wouldn't start and needed yearly maintenance; got it working, warned that the battery might die "forever" soon, performed tuneup and blade sharpening. 2) Mower wouldn't start; replaced dead battery. 3) Frame was bent and partially unattached; bent it back into place, provided new clips to keep it attached. 4) Mower wouldn't start; cleared air from the vent in the gas cap.

My Toro had a problem with not being able to cut through medium-to-heavy grass. Rick determined it to be a belt issue and performed a general tune-up. He was able to get the mower repaired fairly quickly (one week) during a busy time of year. Excellent service at a very good price. He was able to get me in much sooner that another company I had planned to use.

Rick was difficult to get a hold of at first. But when I finally did the turn-around time was fantastic. He picked up my lawn mower on a Friday night and had it delivered, cleaned, and repaired by the next afternoon. You can tell he takes pride in his work and enjoys what he does.
Description of Work: My lawn mower was not working. Rick identified that the belt needed replaced. He replaced the belt and gave the lawn mower a tune-up which included a blade sharping as well as oil and filter change on a Toro Personal Pace push mower.

We had neglected to get the annual maintenance on our mower this past spring and it went dead in the middle of mowing our yard this past weekend. Rick responded to my voice mail within 24 hours, and picked up my lawn mower right away. He promised to have it back in two days, but actually delivered it a day sooner when he saw that the weather predicted was rain for several days, and he knew I still needed to finish my lawn! Rick is easy, kind, and professional to deal with. The lawn mower was returned back so clean we could have eaten our dinner on it that night. My husband didn't recognize it as ours. If I could give A pluses for grading, I would.
Description of Work: Rick replaced the spark plugs and air filter, changed oil, sharpened the blade, cleaned grass from the underdeck, removed and cleaned the wheels, and oiled gears.
