How this guy stays in business is beyond me. Harold specifically told me that if I had any problems with my mower, that he guanteed his work and would return if I had any problems. The very next time I started the mower, it was back exactly the way it was before he and quot;fixedand quot; it. I called him and he returned to fix the mower. After about 5 minutes he announced that I had a bad solenoid and that he would order it and have it delivered directly to my house. After 2 weeks with no part and no mower I called him and he agreed to come out the next day and fix the mower. He never showed up. After numerous calls I finally got in touch with him and he said that he had been and quot;sickand quot;. No call to say he would not be able to make the appt. He agreed to come out the next morning and fix the mower. He never showed up. Now he will not return any of my calls.
Description of Work: My riding lawnmower was running rough, without any power. Harold responded to my voicemail within 1-2 hours (this would not be the case in the future) and arranged to come out the next day. He arrived on time and had the mower running within an hour.

When I contacted the company and spoke with the owner we set an appointment. The appointment was not kept by the company and no call was made to inform me that they were unable to keep the appointment. After several attempts, I was able to speak to the owner again and was simply told and quot;they couldn't make it.and quot;
Description of Work: Unfortunately, there were no services performed!

I called the company's answering service which promises and quot;next day service.and quot; I received a phone call later that day advising that he would be unable to provide next day service due to him already having a job scheduled. We scheduled the time for the following Saturday (today) and he never showed. I called his answering machine after half an hour and asked him to contact me if for some reason he was not going to make his appointment. He has yet to contact me and it has been almost an hour and a half. I will take my business elsewhere.
Description of Work: I asked him to tune-up my lawn mower including oil change. No work was performed.

Description of Work: Disappointing experience this time. After Mr. Lyons did a tune-up on my mower in March, 2012, the starter cord snapped in two a week later. As the summer yard crew began their work again, I did not call to have it repaired until September. Mr. Lyons was on time for the appointment and spent half an hour tinkering with the mower. When he said he dropped a spring, and asked if I had a magnet so he could retrieve it, I said I didn't, he then rolled the mower down the driveway and disappeared. He didn't return, or phone, to let me know he could not/would not complete the repair so the mower could be started. While I appreciate not being charged for his time, I was disappointed and annoyed that he just vanished without letting me know he couldn't repair it, or recommend another repair shop that might be able to.

Mr. Lyons showed up on time and promptly identified what needed to be done to complete servicing the lawnmower. He advised against having him attempt to repair my weedeater - something I truly appreciate because the parts were going to cost more than a new model.
Description of Work: Serviced lawn mower. My lawn mower was not starting and Mr. Lyons was able to get it running and tell me how to maintain it better in the future.

Mr. Lyons arrived a day later, replaced the switch, and made sure I tested it out. He's quick and dependable--and kind.
Description of Work: My lawnmower switch got stuck and wouldn't turn the engine on or off. The wires going to that switch disconnected and disabled the self-propel. He replaced the switch and reconnected all the wiring.

The technician was a little hard to understand over the phone and he had to come back once, but the overall experience was positive. He showed up on time (both the first and second times) and was professional. He even gave me some tips (that were not in the owners manual) on maintaining my mower. Price and punctuality were MUCH better than Sears.
Description of Work: Riding mower would not start. Carburetor was cleaned out and carburetor kit was put in. Technician had to come back once to clean out dirt in the fuel system.

Excellent, and he provided a 30 day warranty.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate and service call and he arranged to be here the next afternoon. That evening, he called me at home and asked if the appointment could be moved up to mid-morning the next day and it was. He arrived on time and went right to work on my mower that had not been serviced in way too long. 20-25 minutes later it looked and ran as if it were new: He cleaned the filters, the mower deck (and cautioned me to keep it clean!), oil change, sharpened the mulcher blade and topped off the gas tank with mid-level fuel and informed me lawnmowers required mid-level gasoline to run properly. That he's mobile was a huge convenience as I didn't have to load up the mower and wait several weeks for it to be ready for another mowing season.

This is great! I didn't have to load up the chipper/shredder and haul it to and from a repair shop. He came and did the repair the next day. No waiting weeeeeeeeeeks for the repair shop to get to it. I called and it was ready to work again within days. Fantastic.
Description of Work: I had a chipper/shredder with oil and gasoline leaks as well as a flat tire. He repaired each issue quickly and efficiently. It's an older model, but Harold was tenacious about finding a fuel tank that would fit.

I called when they were 35 minutes late and was told they would be here soon. At one hour late and at two hours late, I called and left voice messages, and never heard from them at all (it is now 5 hours past the appt time, but no call). Disappointing, as other reviews say how nice and capable they are here, but if you don't show up at all, that's not good.
Description of Work: We had a scheduled appt at 11 a.m. today for an oil change and a carbureter clean on our riding lawn mower. No one ever showed up.

Left message Sunday at Noon. Received a response a few hours later. Set an appointment for the following Wednesday morning. Arrived early and started working immediately. Finished in an hour or so and had recommendations for maintenance going forward. About as good as it gets for me.
Description of Work: Mower tuneup: changed oil, air filter, spark plug; cleaned carburetor; added fuel and stabilizer; sharpened blade. Also had recommendations to use higher octane fuel and stabilizer, and recommended date of next oil change.

We made the appointment on a Friday for the next day at 10 am. He did not show...did not call to cancel. I called about an hour after his appointment time (that he set) and got no answer. I left a message, but never received a call back. Considering that I cancelled a pick up for my lawnmawer becuase he was going to work on it sooner, I think it was very rude and unprofessional to not even call to explain and possibly set a new time.
Description of Work: Called to set up a time for him to work on my riding lawnmower. He called me back on the Friday, May 13 and noted that he would be at my house the next day at 10 am. He never showed.

They were very good. They would come to your house to repair lawn mowers.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Veteran's Mobile Lawnmower four or five months ago. They sharpened the blade on my lawn mower and did a major tune up on it. They tore down the carburetor and cleaned it up. They also brushed up the gas tank.

I called and left a message for Harold on 4/22. He called a few hours later and said he would be out to fix on 4/24 at 11:00AM. My wife was home waiting for him to show. No show, no call. She left another message, but no response. I'm so fed up with these service people in Texas who can't even bother to call if they're not going to show up. This has happened on many occasions with other services-just very frustrating. He was very pleasant when I did talk to him though. Business must be too good-or they don't need the money

My mower had not been used in several years and wouldn't start. After trying everything I knew to get it going, I called Mr. Lyons of Veteran's Mobile Lawnmower. He came out the next day and had the mower going in less than thirty minutes. The best part was I didn't have to take the mower somewhere for repairs!
Description of Work: Mr. Lyons cleaned the carburetor, sharpened the blade and put clean mid-grade gas in.

Overall I would use Harold again. The price was right and he really knows his stuff. I will agree with the last review and say it took him awhile to call me back after my initial call (3 days) but other than that he showed up when schedule and even a little early.
Description of Work: The free lawn mower we got with our new home was in bad shape. It spluttered and barely ran and was caked in dirt. Harold came out to the house and replaced the gas cleaned out the carburetor and gave it a good tune up. Runs like a champ now and much cheaper than replacing the mower.

I placed my original call to Harold at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 8, 2010 and left a message telling him I needed his services. Harold did not return the call. I called Harold again on Monday, April 12, 2010 at 12:10 p.m. and left another message saying I needed his services. I received a return call from Harold mid-morning on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 saying he would be out on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. I arranged to have someone be at the house all day to meet Harold in case he was running late. As of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 15, 2010 Harold has not shown up or called.
Description of Work: Based on reports by others, I decided to save myself a trip to to the shop and called Harold to have him come out and tune up my lawnmower for the season.

Mr. Lyons called us back quickly and checked everything out on the lawnmower.
Description of Work: An excellent experience beginning with the fact that Harold Lyons came to our home to work on our lawnmower. He replaced the blade, cleaned out the lines and told us how to care for the lawnmower properly using an additive with the gas. He also mowed our front lawn to test the mower and it works perfectly. I highly recommend Mr. Lyons, a true professional!

Our riding mower has been down for about 2 years. Transporting it is expensive and a pain so I wanted to find someone to come to my home and get it running again. The man works out of his home and uses a panel truck. He looks a bit scruffy, but he really knows his stuff and that is what is important. After taking some items off the mower and doing some cleaning, adjusting and spraying, he got it started. He rode it out to his truck and up a makeship ramp to the back of the truck. Then he put air in the tires, sharpened the blades, and changed the oil. Finally, he gave me some recommendations for the type of oil to use and told me to trash the stuff I had. He also told me to use 89 octane gas and not 87. We have 1/3 acre and immediately mowed it. The machine ran fine. But when I went to trim where that mower couldn't reach, my small push mower let out with a grinding sound. I thought I'd dislodged a bearing and called him. He was back the next day and fixed it within an hour. Considering that he got both jobs done the first time and saved me the three months that other mower repair places tell me I'll have to wait, I was definitely satisfied.
Description of Work: Came to our home and repaired our riding lawn mower. I called him back two days later and he fixed our self propelled push mower.
