Our sump pump basically exploded in the basement and leaked all over our rugs. They needed a deep cleaning. It went really well. They came, pick it up, cleaned it, and brought it back. The rug smells great and they were incredible professional. I hope I didn't need to use them again for a busted something, but if I need them I certainly plan on using them and I most certainly recommend them.

Description of Work: They picked up my snowblower, which had not been serviced or used for about 3 years. They replaced the carburater, cleaned it and readied for use again. They brought it back to my house and explained what had been done. They were very specific in advance about what it could cost, and kept me up to date. This allowed me do decide whether to go forward. For both pick-up and delivery, they gave a precise window of time, and then I received a call when they were on the way. Snowblower works very well.

All personnel were friendly, polite, helpful, educational - without ever being condescending. I have had past encounters from other establishments having to endure condescension to the point of rudeness and even having to pay a higher price. I would call A. Pethke for service in a heartbeat in the future.
Description of Work: Picked up snowblower as scheduled. Checked the snowblower, called with estimate for carburetor rebuild and new skids, full tuneup. Delivered snowblower to my home, again as scheduled with additive for gas and instructions.

Description of Work: Repaired a snowblower which never ran well from the start. It sounds good now and they gave me good advice on additives to keep it running. Much appreciated.

Called and got estimate about a week ago. Was told tuneup costed $66.95 and included oil change and blade sharpening. I asked if the new air filter and spark plug was included and I was told it was. I dropped the mower off and the guys behind the counter were very polite and attentive. I was told it would be ready on 4/26 and if the cost was going to be over $100 for some reason, they would call me before fixing. I called on 4/26 to see if the mower was reedy and it was. Upon my arrival, the invoice was not ready. They got the invoice and I saw that they charged me for a spark plug, air filter, oil disposal, gas, oil, and oil ring bringing the goal to $96.75. I would have brought my own filter, oil, and spark plug as I had these at home if I knew they were going to charge me for them. I mean really.....oil change included usually includes disposal fees and new oil. It just seems to me that more and more small businesses are nickel and dimming people to death. By the doing this it brought my total up $20 more than originally quoted. I asked about this and was told that the labor for the oil change was included, not the supplies. They also charged me $5 for gas,really? Five bucks! You can get a gallon and a half for that! Also the guy at the counter when I picked it up was not either of the original two that were there when I dropped it off otherwise I may have argued a little more about some of these costs. It appears that the mower was serviced well, I really won' t be able to tell until I use it for a couple months. Over all they are better than Bill's on 13th and Layton.

I preferred to do business with them, as they are in my neighborhood. They are dealers for landscaping and snow equipment. They were extremely knowledgeable. They were fast, efficient and trustworthy. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I purchased a lawn mower and a snow blower from A. Pethke Service in March or April and I also took one in for service.

I'm a first time home and mower owner. So I left the mower in the garage over winter with gas in it and nothing added to keep it from freezing. Pethke is great. Nice family-owned business. They helped me get the mower out of the car, and put it back in. There was a long wait for it to get repaired because it was during peak season (this was in June), but they made that clear up front, and were able to get it repaired sooner than estimated. Very friendly, competent, honest, and reasonable.
Description of Work: Drained old gas from mower and fixed it.

THIS COMPANY HAD ALSO SERVICED MY FATHER-IN-LAWS LAWN AND GARDEN EQUIPMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HE RECOMMENDED THEM TO US. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.
Description of Work: THEY SELL AND SERVICE NEW AND USED LAWN MOWERS AND SNOW BLOWERS. THEY ALSO SHARPEN PRUNING SHEARS. THEY MAY ALSO SELL AND SERVICE OTHER EQUIPMENT. WE PURCHASED A USED LAWN MOWER RECENTLY AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN SATISFIED WITH IT. WE PAID $190.00 FOR IT. WE HAD SHOPPED AROUND FOR SOME TIME AND THIS SEEMED TO BE THE BEST DEAL WE FOUND. WE HAD TAKEN OUR OLD MOWER IN TO BE SERVICED AND IT WOULD HAVE COST NEARLY THAT MUCH TO REPAIR. WE ALSO HAD SEVERAL PRUNING SHEARS SHARPENED AT A COST OF $3 EACH, TAX NOT INCLUDED. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND VERY NICE TO DO BUSINESS WITH.
