The Lawnmower Man was punctual and efficient. There is still a vibration that I hoped he could resolve but otherwise well done.

I was very happy with the work and the price was fair. The only reason I didn't rate and A is because I had to wait over 2 weeks to be fit in.

I called and was given an appointment on Saturday from 9 - 11 am. They showed up 10 minutes early and went right to work. He replaced the fuel solenoid and flushed the fuel line. Showed me the old solenoid and demonstrated the fault. Fired up and lasted about an hour and then shut off. Called and he returned today and replaced the fuel filter. Super professional, super follow up service. A PLUS!
Description of Work: My riding mower would not stay running. It would start and run for about 5 minutes and then shut off.

All work was completed perfectly and at a far lower cost than any of the John Deere repair facilities. Further, the John Deere company wanted to pick up and take my tractor into their facility to fix the tire as they claimed that the could not fix the tire on the premises. This company was able to fix the tire on site. I saved the very expensive service cost of having the tractor picked up and returned, and I know that it would have taken longer for the John Deere company to fix and return my tractor (which means I would have lost valuable time.) Furthermore, I had asked a John Deere repair facility to repair the bagging compartment on two occasions and it was never repaired. This company actually fabricated a solution for the bagging comparment on the spot, doing what the John Deere company had never been able to do. Prior to this fix, I had secured my bagging compartment with either a bungee cord (which was not safe) or with a pulley system that was very ineffective. I am delighted that my bagging compartment area will now close securely. I know that the cost of the repair of the tractor by a John Deere facility would have been three times what I was charged. This is by far the best service I've ever had and I am so very grateful! Never again will I go to a John Deere company for the repair of my tractor.
Description of Work: My John Deere lawn tractor had a flat tire, had a leak in the grass/leaf chute and the "bagging" compartment would not close properly.

This person only came out twice as stated originally. He fraudulently cashed a check in August that he said he would shred in May. I had to end up paying $116 to get the entire carburetor replaced as he was not supposed to spray whatever he did directly into my carburetor, which in turn ruined it. It now runs perfectly after a real company actually repaired it, which he could not do after 2 tries. I will be pursuing this issue further with the city and state to prevent this terrible circumstance from happening to someone else.
Description of Work: He came out and sprayed some spray into my carburetor. The lawn mower turned on one time but did not start again. He came out again and declined my offer to pay him. I gave him a check anyway but he did not fix it. The spray he sprayed in my carburetor ruined my carburetor and I need the entire carburetor replaced. I talked to him a couple days later and explained the situation and he said he would tear up the check. I noticed a check from my bank today that I did not recognize. I called them and found out that the check cashed was from his company. He never repaired the lawn mower.

Response from THE LAWNMOWER MAN INC
We came out several times without additional charges. The mower started every time our Technician pulled the starter cord, which is standard. Our technician cleaned her carb with carb cleaner, this was to remove varnish from the gas she had left in her mower for over two years. Also in regards to the $20 tip she gave our technician following the third follow up visit without a charge, we had no choice but to cash that check because her first check bounced. We used that to recover the bank charge of $50 for a returned check. It also took us 3 months to cash second check (tip check) because her Navy fed account was negative. Our accounts receivable personal had to drive to bank every day to check the funds so we could prevent another bounced check fee.

They showed up on time and walked me through all the repairs that needed to be performed. Mower is running great now and is ready to tackle the yard again. Also gave me some great pointers on my gas powered weed eater. I will definitely call him and his assistant again in the future. This is a truly convenient way to get your lawn equipment serviced!!!
Description of Work: The Lawn Mower Man came to my house and tune-up, changed the oil, sharpened the blade on and fixed a disconnected cable for my push mower that had been stored for over a year.

Good experience, Tom came out to my house and took a look at the mower. After a few minutes of diagnosing (it stayed running even after releasing the kill switch handle) he concluded that it was a stuck control cable. After taking the cable off and trying to clean it off to reuse, he determined that it could not be cleaned/repaired and that a new cable was the fix. Installed the new cable and had it working within an hour or so. The 55.00 reflects his standard $35 service charge and $20 for a new cable. Very reasonable and convenient. I would recommend him over the hassle of taking it to a shop and having to get it back later (I was quoted over a week at some places).

I couldn't get my push mower started on Sunday, reached out to The Lawnmower Man, Inc. on Monday, had my appointment on Thursday, and was mowing by Thursday evening. Very professional and organized in correspondence and appointment set up, the mechanic was pleasant and helpful, and was able to get my mower running. Also, the service cost was less than I expected. It was a very positive experience, and I strongly recommend anyone looking for lawnmower repair to call The Lawnmower Man, Inc.
Description of Work: Cleaned out internal workings, improved a lashing, and added ease to the start mechanism.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Tom was on time and very knowledgeable and professional. My mower stopped running in the fall and wouldn't start. Tom diagnosed the problem in less than ten minutes and had the new part I needed right on his truck. He also offered to sharpen my blades while he was there. He also ave me some advice and the parts I needed to fix another problem I was having with the mower. Just a great company.

After leaving several more messages on his answering machine, he returned the call and apologized for the delay, saying his wife was in California for 2 weeks and he was swamped. Then he said he couldn't locate a starter solenoid for our 13 year old Simplicity riding mower but was still trying. I searched the internet and found the part and left him 3 more messages several days apart. Finally, he answered the phone himself on August 11 and apologized for not returning my calls but that he had surgery and would not be able to work on my mower, then quickly got off the phone after wasting a month of our time, resulting in no repair to the mower.
Description of Work: I contacted Tom the second week of July. He returned my call after about a week and came to see my mowers on Saturday, July 19. He charged us $35.00 for the service charge and $25.00 for his labor to diagnose the problem. He said he needed to get some parts and then we didn't hear from him again for another 10 days.

We are sorry that we were unable to repair [member name removed] mower. When our techican went out to see them the mower was in the way back of their property and left out in the elements for years. As stated the 13 year old was not repairable.

He was very professional and knew his stuff. Great job!
Description of Work: He cleaned my push mower's carburator, sharpened the blade, changed the oil, gave me great advice on maintenance. He also came to my house so I did not have to carry the mower to his location. He also provided next day service - no waiting 10 days for my mower. Do not believe the negative comments about this guy. I am guessing they are competitors.

We called for an appointment for repair and tune ups at the beginning of the week and they were able to get us scheduled for Friday. Work was done efficiently to a high quality level, as always, and they were as professional as we expect. The price was very reasonable and we will definitely continue to use their services for the value and convenience!

Well he tried everything, but still couldn't get it to start. He was very professional. I gave the overall score a C and price a B because nothing got fixed, but it was actually very reasonable for all the time he spent trying to get the mower to work. My mower could just be an anomaly. If it would work, they'd get A+.

I called Lawnmower Man (Tom Clark) on Friday, 23 November 2012 in reference to repairing the self propelled function on my lawnmower. Mr Clark said he needed to do a little investigation about the repair and would call me back in an hour. Well, I never received that call, so, I called him again on Saturday, 24 November 2012 and left a message requesting a call back. I called again on Monday, 26 November 2012 and again talked directly to Mr. Clark and we setup a date to perform the work on Saturday, 8 December 2012. I offered to bring my lawnmower to him, but he insisted that he would come to my home to perform the work. I guess he thinks that he is a "Cable Guy" because he would only give me a timeframe, between 9:00 and 11:00 AM. So, at 9:00 AM, I put my lawnmower up on a set of saw horses to help with the repair. At 10:00 AM I called Mr. Clark and left a message to ensure we were still on track for the repair. 11:00 AM came and went and I'm still waiting on at least a phone call. I am thoroughly disgusted with the LAWNMOWER MAN's professionalism and Unsat Work Ethic. DO NOT USE LAWNMOWER MAN... I wish I could give him a grade much, much lower than a F>>>>>>>>>

As I said before, I have called and left messages but have never heard from them.
Description of Work: I have called and left messages for these folks and haven't heard back from them. I have an answering machine at home but there's no message from them. The second phone number takes me to some sort of Sprint account service, so it is obviously incorrect. Are they still in business?

Was very honest with me in evaluating mower that hadn't been run in about 5-6 years. Explained to me, and demonstrated why it would be more to repair than mower was worth. Could have tried to stick me for expensive repair, but instead recommend local dealer to me and a few brands to pick and stay away from. Great guy! I'll be using him for periodic maint of my new mower....

Had a pressure washer that just wouldn't work. Called The Lawnmower Man and we scheduled an appointment. Tom arrived on time. He spent probably an hour on the darn machine, trying to get it working. Finally he found the problem and got it operating. Charged $65 which we thought was very reasonable. Would definitely have him look at other outdoor power equipment that was malfunctioning. We were very happy with the service and would recommend him to friends.

The owner Tom came to my home to repair a new mower. I was frustrated at needing to have a new mower repaired so soon after purchase (6 months). Tom was kind and understanding, showed and explained the problem, quickly fixed the problem and offered suggestions for future maintenance. Tom said he worked with another local company that does repairs to see what they do, and decided he could do it better and charge less if he did it himself. It was a very good experience. I highly recommend him!
Description of Work: He did a quick assessment of problem, then drained water from the carburetor, cleaned out carburetor, cleaned spark plug. He gave engine an overall check and advised on improving engine performance.
