    I took my mower to them in late Aug 2023, to have a part replace on it. Was 200 bucks. Mowed my little half acre lot 5 or 6 more times before putting it up for winter. Took it out this year, mowed my yard once, and half way through mowing, the exact same part broke off again. I took it back up there again, told the guy what happened and that the same part broke again. He did not care at all. So it's been 3 weeks since I took it up there. So I decided to go check on it. The fat creep told me it would be 230 bucks to fix this time. I asked him why am I having to pay so much for this when you guys just replaced this part in late August, we'll its past it's 90 days. Ok but I have only used the mower maybe 8 times since then. Is this part going to brake every 8 times I use my mower? Those people con artists and I will never take my mower to them again. Their mechanics are drunks and pot heads and they do really shotty work. Don't do business with them at all.

    Hi Joe,

    We understand your frustration that the part has failed again. Standard repair warranty and parts warranties are 90 days. Manufacture warranty on wear items such as bearings and belts is 90 days. Typically if a bearing is faulty it will fail within the first few hours of use. Your brought your machine in on 5/31/24 almost a year after the first repair. At that point we were two weeks behind. We called on 6/4/24 leaving a message of an estimate being ready. You did not give us a call back or approve the estimate until 7/1/24. The machine is scheduled for 7/3/24. This repair is to replace the bearings, shaft, belt, and bearing holder plus labor.  

    Additionally attacking the character of our employees will not fly, calling them drunks, pot heads, and fat creeps is not professional or needed. Our employees are held to high standards and are individuals just like yourself. After you pick your unit up we ask that you not return to either or locations for any further repairs or business.
