Excellent work! Very convenient at home service. As good as or better than the Ready-to-Mow service from Deere and much less expensive.
Description of Work: Had my John Deere riding mower and toro push mower serviced.

I have a tiller and a snow blower which were not used for two years. Prior to attempting to start the tiller I decided to have the engine serviced and the old gasoline removed. I chose JB Small Engine Service based on the recommendation of a friend who has used their services for several years. The company does work on site which is a huge plus since I am unable to transport the equipment myself. Owner John Barrington arrived on time and got right to work. He explained what he was doing and why and showed me relevant parts as he was working. We discussed gasoline (ethanol vs no ethanol) and gasoline octane levels. He showed me how to check the oil, described the color it should be and explained what happens to equipment run with low or high oil levels. He explained how to store the equipment to reduce carburator problems. Since I am an engine novice and not used to running the equipment I found the education very helpful. I had only planned to have the tiller fixed at this time figuring I wouldn't need the snow blower for several months. The rates I was quoted for the tiller were a $30 trip charge and $60 per hour for labor plus parts and tax. After watching John work for a while I decided if he had time I would have him work on the snow blower and save the extra trip charge. In total John spent 2 hours 11 minutes working on the two pieces ($131.00 labor). The parts cost $11.59. With the $30 trip charge the bill came to $172.59 before tax with a final total of $181.39 including sales tax. John provided an itemized receipt which included model and engine numbers of the equipment pieces he worked on. So far I am very happy with the service provided.
Description of Work: Drained old gas from roto tiller and snow blower. Cleaned carburator parts on each piece of equipment. Replaced the bowl and bowl ring on the snow blower. Changed the oil and spark plug on the tiller. Started equipment to ensure engines were running properly and operated tines/blades to make sure everything was in working order.

John has tuned up/repaired our lawn mowers and snow blower over the last 5 years. He's always on time, comes to our house, very neat, and shows us how to keep our equipment well-maintained.
