I highly recommend Nate Riley for Riding Lawn Mower Repair. He does excellent work at an excellent price. .I was thinking of replacing my mower before I spoke with Nate about the repairs. (My mower is difficult to work on due to an automatic transmission and a total of 3 belts.) Nate is a true professional. He explained the needed work, then loaded and took my mower back to his shop. He completed every repair then cleaned and delivered my mower back on time. My mower now runs like it did 15 years ago.
Description of Work: I have a 15-year old riding mower which needed several repairs to include cables, belts, and a faulty engine cut off safety switch.

The spark plug kept fouling on my 8 HP Briggs&Stratton Snapper riding mower. I had to put in a new plug after each use. A Snapper dealer said I needed to get the engine rebuilt (which almost cost the same as a new engine). Mr. Riley said that he thought he knew what the problem was. For less than $200 he put in a new head gasket, rebuilt the carburetor, and did some other refurbishments. Most importantly, he advised me to throttle the mower way back and run it for about 10 seconds before shutting it off. Two full mowing seasons later my Snapper is still starting up and running like a champ!
Description of Work: rebuilt carburetor, replaced head gasket, misc other repairs

It was high season for the trade and I knew it would be a while before I could cut my lawn. Turned out to be about 5 weeks during this period. It's been hot and dry and there was not that much to cut or as frequently. When I did my first cutting, I immediately noticed that it did not use that much gas. New spark plug, gas filter, and oil change makes a difference! My 14-year-old mower is like new. Helps that it was built by John Deere.
Description of Work: Replacement of gas tank that was cracked, deteriorated and leaking gas. Also needed normal motor maintenance and blade sharpening.

Mr. Riley was extremely accommodating with the drop off and pick up time. The mower was ready to go in three days. It runs like a champ. The cost was extremely reasonable. He did great work and is a really genuine, friendly, honest person. I highly recommend him for any small engine repair.
Description of Work: Our lawnmower had been stored for some time and would not start. We dropped it off on the weekend, and it was ready by Wednesday.

Nate was awesome! I called and was able to drop my mower off to him within a day or so and the turn around was quick. It only took him a couple of days to fix it and get it back to me. I had never had the mower serviced and he showed me how to drain the existing oil (what was left of it anyway) and then how to check it. He also told me how often to get it serviced and being new to Texas answered my questions about how the care for the mower differs from what we used back in the northeast. After picking up my mower Nate and I chatted for a little while about family and about our travels around the country. He was very friendly and I am not going to hesitate to give him a call next fall to service our Toro push mower.
Description of Work: Changed the oil in my lawn mower, changed the air fitter and sharpened the blade. Also taught me to check the oil and when to change the oil as well as how to do it at home.

It went extremely well and he was on time with everything he said.
Description of Work: Repaired my riding mower and my lawn mower. Exrememly reasonable and completely professional care. I was surprised at the level of care that went into helping me understand the proper use of the 2 items I had repaired. My wife and I were prepared to purchase a new riding mower after speaking with a previous repair guy, but Mr Nate not only repaired our rider, but he also showed us some truly helpful measures in maintenance.

I did not have a clue where to take my mower to be serviced, so I found Nate Riley on Angie's list. He is extremely professional but unbelievably cheap. He takes great pride in his work and is very personable. An absolute pleasure from start to finish!!
Description of Work: Nate serviced my lawn mower - he sharpened the blades, changed the oil, the filter and the spark plug, installed a new pull cord, adjusted the accellerator and generaly cleaned it up. He delivered it to me after the work was finished.

Excellent. Exceptional service at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: The starter pull-cord was not operational and thus, my mower could not be started. I called Nate in the morning to ask if he could work on it/ repair it, and he stated he could, gave me an approximate price, and picked up the mower that same afternoon. He called 2 days later letting me know it was repaired and would drop it by later that day, at a price less than what he originally quoted! Honest, fair and fast service! Additionally, he lubricated the wheels so they can be height adjusted again, and suggested how I could repair the one that was broken.

I have used both lawnmowers since then and both work great. You can tell that he enjoys working with lawnmowers/small engines and takes a lot of pride in his work. I definitely recommend Nate.
Description of Work: I had Nate service and tune-up 2 push lawnmowers. In both cases he replaced the blades, spark plugs, filters, oil, etc and cleaned them up to the point where they nearly looked unused.

Nate was very pleasant and helpful. He quickly troubleshot the problem and made a quick repair for little cost. Plus he educated me on what I should/should not do in the future. I will definitely be a return customer if need be.

As a new subscriber, our first experience with Angie's List was successful. After signing up, started to search for a Lawn Mower Repair Service and after viewing 3-4, selected Nate Riley's Service. My husband phoned him and took the lawn mower to him on Friday, 4/13/12 explaining we would like it returned for our normal lawn service the following Thursday. Nate called Monday morning and said it was ready and for a very reasonable price. Our first experience with both Angie's List and Nate Riley's services encourages me to use this venue for future services. I would recommend using Nate Riley's Services.
Description of Work: Lawn mower not used for 2+ years is now working. The fuel tank was drained, the air filter was replaced, the fuel filter was cleaned and the blade was replaced.
