From the bench
I'm Dale. I run Pull Cord out of a one-bay shop on the edge of Monticello. Bring me the mower that will not start, the saw that bogs in the cut, the generator you remembered the night before the storm. I will tell you what is wrong in one sentence, and I will tell you straight if the machine is not worth the money.

“I figured the riding mower was done. Dale had it starting on the second pull, and the bill was less than I feared.”

Questions, answered straight.
Most tune-ups and small repairs leave in 3 to 5 days (demo). A chainsaw sharpen is often sooner. If a part has to be ordered, I will tell you before I start.
Gas left over winter turns to varnish. It gums the carburetor, the engine floods or will not start, and pulling the cord forty times will not help. A carburetor clean and fresh fuel fixes most of them.
Sometimes it is not. If the engine is seized or the deck is rusted through, I will say so before you spend the diagnostic. The $35 fee (demo) is credited if you go ahead with the repair.
Plugs, air filters, blades, trimmer line, and common starter ropes (demo stock). Anything special gets priced before I order it.
