I have well over 20 years in experience repairing small engines, however I am constantly looking for ways to improve my knowledge and understanding that comes with the challenges of being a small engine repair mechanic.
Business highlights

Small engine repair on all makes & models of lawn mowers, lawn & garden tractors, snow blowers, chainsaws, weed eaters, leaf blowers, generators & anything with a small engine on it. Blade sharpening. Tune ups. Tire repair. Carb rebuilds.
The service was very prompt and curteous. Had my snowblower back in 6 days. It seems to run fine. I left the "Quality" rating as N/A until I can use it in the snowy driveway. If it does what it's supposed to do, I'll come back and rate the quality then.

I highly recommend 'Bob's Mower'. I dropped my snow blower off on a Sat., you deal directly with the owner 'Bob' whose shop was very clean and organized, 3 days later he called that it was done. Bob cleaned the carburetor and checked belt, scrapper etc. He let me know parts were still sound and did not do any additional unnecessary work to inflate charges. I plan on bringing my mower in for a spring tune-up after this positive experience and will recommend to friends. - Sibyl Scrivens

I found Bob on Angie's List after our old repair store went out of business earlier this year. He has worked on our lawn equipment at least three or four times now and each experience was exceptional. His business isn't very close to where we live but well worth the drive. We will continue to use his services as often as needed. Bob is very friendly and a pleasure to work with. Give him a try.

I started going to Bob about 2 years ago after reading his reviews. He had replaced the impeller belt on my 2 stage snow blower. He adjusted the throttle on a hard to start edger, he tuned up and sharpened the blades on my riding mower. I took my gas string trimmer for him to look at. He said the cost of repair would be more than purchasing a new one but he said he would look at it. He adjusted the carb and it is still running a year later. I would definately use him again as he is fair and honest. The cost of repairs was never outrageous or out of line. I would advise to call ahead as he is not always around in the winter (his slow season).
Description of Work: Over the past year Bob has repaired my snow-blower, edger, trimmer, and riding lawnmower.

I needed to get my self-propelled mower fixed. They came to the house, picked up the mower, repaired the height adjuster that was broken. I also had it tuned up. They returned it as promised and it runs like new. It took time to get the parts in from the manufacturer, but once they arrived, it was fixed and returned.

Very glad I decided to bring in the mower myself rather than having Bob's Mower and More pick up and deliver. This week, he was short two mechanics and of course, I wondered if the work would be completed in time for my next mulching. Even though, the scheduled work (and more) was completed as promised and on time. When I picked up the mower, Bob spent as much time with me as needed to be sure I understood the "fine adjustments" this old mower needs to run well. He kept questioning me about several items to be sure I did understand. These older machines develop "sweet spots" and Bob wanted to be sure I understood just how to adjust the mower to run its best. The results were much better than expected. I mulched the yard on the day I brought the mower home, removing about an inch of grass. The mower ran exceptionally well. Then I measured the grass height and discovered I needed to remove another inch of height. So, the following day I mulched the yard again. Then I asked my wife how she thought the lawn looked. She said it looked like the grass at Progressive Field. Good enough for me!
Description of Work: Performed complete maintenance on our 6 year old Bolen's mulching lawnmower, including changing the plug, changing the air filter, adjusting the governor, cleaning the carburetor, replacing gaskets, replacing the blade and cleaning the entire mower.

Bob was great! He was extremely thorough and communicated what was going on with my mower. His shop provides the kind of service that is difficult to find anymore. He picked up and delivered my mower before and after service was performed. I would highly recommend this business to anyone!

Our son needed to clean up recent storm damage in his yard (remember last week's storms with those straight-line winds!!!). We offered him the use of our TroyBilt 3" chipper/shredder to help with the cleanup. Little did we know that our trusty chipper/shredder wouldn't start! We telephoned a couple of name brand small engine repair shops in the area and was told it would take $175 plus or minus and two weeks to do repairs. Panic set in and then quickly subsided when Angie's List offered other options.... We chose Bob's Mowers and More in Medina, OH because of the excellent rating and proximity to our home. So we gave him a call. Unbelievably Bob returned our call within the hour! He suggested we bring the chipper to his shop for a look/see. (Usually you can have machines picked up and returned to your home. However, he and his crew were busy moving his shop from a building in the back of the property to the building facing Rt. 42 from the east. ) He took the time to diagnose our chipper/shredder's problem and fix it right then and there...AND (again, unbelievably) he showed me and my son how to repair it the same way should we have this problem again. Then he asked some of his crew (who were still busy moving stuff from his shop) to assist us in loading the chipper/shredder back into our vehicle. To say I was satisfied with his service is a gross understatement. Good service is what Bob sees in his rear view mirror! This quiet, unassuming gentleman takes his business seriously and knows and is comfortable around small engines like nothing I've seen since I don't know when. I was surprised and delighted to have the problem solved so quickly and satisfactorily......and (cost wise) so reasonably!!! Bob's understated and straightforward approach to diagnosing the problem and carrying through with the repair made me confident that our chipper/shredder was in excellent hands. I'm sure there are many knowledgeable small engine repair shops out there. However, for what it's worth, if you're in need of his services (small engine repair) take your business to my new lawnmower and small engine repair guy, Bob, and treat yourself to the experience of what service was like decades ago. You will not be disappointed! (Golly, if this review were any more glowing you could use it as a nightlight! HA!)

I called to make an appointment had to leave a message but Bob returned my call promptly. I took the mower in on Saturday and by Monday he had the mower running. When went to pick up the lawnmower he had me start it up and let it run to make sure that the mower was working properly. It was. I was very happy and he gave me a discount because I was a member of Angie's List. It is July 13 and the mower is still running great. I recommend his service to all.

I took the mower in to Bob's because the self propel mechanism was shot. Bob and his crew put new gears in it, sharpened the blade and tuned it up. It runs beautifully now and I figure I got a good price on the repair. So if you need your self-propel, push type, or rider mower or even your trimmer repaired I would highly recommend you give Bob a try. Bob is a good, honest guy and gives quality workmanship at a reasonable price. A+ and Five Stars too!

Bob did an excellent job. Even though I live 15 miles from his shop, he picked up the snowblower and returned it after the repairs for a very minimal charge. I really appreciated this because I had no way of getting the snowblower to him. I have waited until after the winter has ended to post this because I wanted to see how the snowblower worked. I have used it a number of times and it works fine. Bob is very friendly, prompt and does excellent work. I recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Bob rebuilt my snowblower. The impeller was rubbing and making a very bad noise. He removed the blower housing and replaced the impeller bearing. He also did a needed tune up.

On March 4th, my husband and I went to Bob's Mowers. We took our 13 year old snow blower with us to see if it could be repaired. Unfortunately, it would be very costly since the old blower needed a head gasket for starters. It was leaking oil and also ran as though it had a clogged fuel line. We asked Bob if he had any used snow blowers for sale. He showed us several blowers and we found and Ariens blower that my husband was interested in. We left our old blower there as a trade-in and made arrangements for Bob to deliver the Ariens blower the next day. When Bob delivered the Ariens, he made sure my husband knew how to start, operate and where to check the gas and oil levels, before he left. Bob also said to let him know if we had any questions or problems with the Ariens. Today was the first time there was enough snow fall for my husband to use the Ariens. He likes the blower and feels we got a great deal from Bob. Since every deal/trade-in is different, we didn't want to disclose the price we paid for the used Ariens.
Description of Work: The only service performed was the delivery of a used snow blower.

At the end of the season, the cord on my fairly new Toro broke. I wanted it repaired before putting it away for the winter. After looking on Angie's List, I decided to call Bob's Mowers and More. When I arrived at his business, and met him, I knew I had come to the right place. Friendly, knowledgeable, and will to help in any way he could. I asked him about finding a part I had lost and he said he would try, and he did manage to find one. I will always call Bob first, even though there are many other places closer to me. I trust him and that is worth the distance!
Description of Work: Toro lawnmower repaired : Replaced broken pull cord with new parts, complete tune-up with blade sharpened and new grass shoot. Very satisfied with service and price. Would definitely recommend Bob's Mower and More.

On Saturday, the 29th, Bob picked up my snowblower for repair. It was in bad shape and I was afraid to start it with the gas and oil spraying around. He returned it to me this afternoon completely repaired and in top condition. Extremely efficient and friendly. I'm now a loyal customer. FYI I got his name off of Angie's List and the reviews were true.

I was very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Our tractor was spewing oil so we called for service. They picked up the tractor almost immediately and had an answer on the repair a couple of days later. It turned out that the oil was not that big of a deal (over filled) but we had a tune up done and the blades sharpened while they had it. Their customer service was good and they were very professional. I am glad that we called.

I see why Bob's Mowers has so many great ratings - he IS great! I inherited a 1995 model Deere lawn tractor which would not start when I tried to use it. I called Bob on a Monday morning, described my situation, and his worker came and picked up the mower within 2 hours of my call! Headache #1 (how will I get it to them? I don't have a truck!) SOLVED. I asked Bob to please do a checkup and replace/repair as needed - I have no idea when or what maintenance was last done. Well, folks, by 3:30 p.m. the NEXT DAY, I was cutting the grass on my tuned-up, cleaned-up, repaired lawn tractor! Bob was great about keeping me informed about what needed to be done and when it would be ready. He then invited me to the shop for a lesson and practice! Since I am just learning about this stuff, he was a great teacher and very patient. He also told me that there were several things that did not yet need to be replaced, but that I should be aware of them for next year. He recommended what to do when I store the mower for the winter. Headache #2 (oh, no, what do I do NOW and how do I work this thing?) SOLVED. His associate then loaded up the mower and delivered it to my garage, and it was waiting for me when I got home. Headache #3 (And how will I ever get it back home?) SOLVED. It appears to me that he did everything possible to do only the necessary repairs/replacements and tried to keep the price as low as possible. Bob is very personable and professional. I feel like I have known him for a long time. Especially since I live in this area only part-time, I am THRILLED to have found "my mower/equipment guy." I am very, very pleased with his work and will certainly get his help next spring when I tackle the weed-eaters and other strange equipment that's in my garage.

I called Bob's Fri morning and by Fri 5pm he came out and picked it up.The repair took about a week and a half, it involved rebuilding part of the engine. The cost was just over $400.00 but also included a tune up and new blades installed. I would use them again. I believe a big name mower shop would have cost alot more.

Contacted Bob concerning my Honda mower which had a broken handlebar. He confidently told me that it could be repaired and made to look and operate like new. After just picking the mower up, I can testify that he wasn't kidding. The mower was immaculate and ran as good as new. I could not be happier. Bob has an excellent business. He places the needs of his customers first and is always willing to back up his work.

Do give Bob's Mowers & More a try.
Description of Work: I took weed whacker to Bob and when we were discussing the possibility of it costing too much to repair he started working on it anyway to be sure there wasn't something he could fix to get it running. In short, it was the carburetor & more of an expense than we wanted to put into it. Bob, however, gave me a used weed whacker so we would be able to do the yard work. I was really surprised at the offer but be said he treats people the way he wants to be treated and I really feel that it is his philosophy. If you need his type of service I recommend you try Bob's Mowers & More. We're happy to have a business we'll return to with no qualms. It was nice to be treated like a friend or neighbor and not a number
