  3. CLOSED this weekend for vacation!

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    We are taking off this weekend for vacation until Tuesday, May 21. My staff has worked VERY hard and they deserve a break, as well as their weary boss man. ;)

     

    We will be back in the swing on May 21 with very short turn around time. :)

     

    Thanks to all of you who have trusted us with your business. We look forward to continued service when we all get back in town. In the meantime, you are still welcome to call and leave a message. We will return your calls and get you up and running asap, as of Tuesday morning.

    He is GREAT!!! He just got my husband's old Craftsman running great again for around $300 rather than buying something brand new for close to $1500!!

     

    Thank you. I'm glad to hear it's running well. And you probably wouldn't have been happy with a mew mower anyway....the quality's all gone these days compared to what he's got. ;)

  10. REBUILT mowers for sale by this weekend

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    I've been lucky with my Craftsman mower. I've had it for 8 years and other than changing a carburetor, the only maintenance has been oil, sparkplug, air filter, and blade changes. If I run into something I can't handle, I won't hesitate to use your services.

     

    And I'll be here if you need me. Good for you though, all it takes is some general maintenance to make them last a generation.

  11. REBUILT mowers for sale by this weekend

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    Folks, like I mentioned earlier on about a month ago, 75% of business this year has been people looking for rebuilt mowers. I can no longer keep track of the demand, so the best I can do is this- I have perhaps 3 push mowers that will be available by this weekend. Please PM me if you are in the market, and I will contact you. PM's or emails only. I simply cannot keep track of potential buyers via phone, as I am on the road most of the day performing mobile service calls. The only way I can keep track of people to call is either email or PM, which my secretary will be on the lookout for, and will call each person as the mowers become available.

     

    That said, I am grateful and even flattered that word has gotten out that I don't sell junk, or "flea market" equipment. All mowers have been repaired and are in great working order at the time I sell them. I do my best to keep everyone satisfied, however, sales are "as-is". If you want something with a seasonal 6 month warranty, I can do this, but it costs more. To clarify my point and policy, I get calls from people who have purchased a mower, and their first statement is (it ran great until it ran out of gas, then I refilled it and it won't run now).

     

    Folks, I STRESS the fact that E10 gasoline has a shelf life of 60-90 days...usually 60. Mixing fresh gas with just a small amount of BAD GAS will still crud everything up. My "rule of thumb, unwritten warranty" extends to machines not working before the first time of use (which needs to be within a week of buying) and it DOES NOT cover using old, stale gasoline. Mechanical-wise, sure I take of people, no doubt. But I can't be responsible for owner error, and especially someone using OLD, STALE E10 FUEL. I stand by my work, and every mower sold has undergone rigorous testing to insure its quality. But, being in this business for so many years, I'm very adept at knowing what went wrong with something sold, and whether it's my fault or operator error.

     

    Finally, I plan to have 2-4 mowers ready by this weekend. PM if you want to be contacted when they are ready. The highest bidder always wins, and I will continue to provide our community with reliable rebuilt equipment. My best buyers are 7 year long regular customers who know that I do not sell junk, and I will make sure the buyer is satisfied within the guidelines aforementioned in this thread.

     

    Tips-

    Riding mowers- DO NOT cut the grass TOO LOW as to put a strain on the mower's blades, belt and other parts on the deck, as well as possibly damaging the deck, belts, and spindles that hold the blades. When getting tall grass under control, always cut at a higher level. Lower levels should only be used AFTER the tall stuff is under control. Blades can cost up to $20 a piece, and riders have anywhere from 2 to 3 blades. The belts can run as high as $60, not to mention the labor replacing them. Save yourself some money and be practical by heeding this advice. ;)

     

    Push mowers- (See above) Not only does this apply, but on self propelled mowers, you are hacking into the life of the drive belt by cutting more grass (taller and thicker) than your mower may be designed to handle. Example- Honda push mowers cut extremely smooth and even, BUT DID YOU KNOW...Honda engines are usually less than HALF the horsepower and torque of a standard 6 HP Briggs and Stratton engine?? You can quickly end the life of the mower by demanding more than it was designed for. All lawns are different, i.e. Bermuda grasses and sods are very thick and require more power to cut.

     

    This thread is simply an attempt to educate the consumer on how to make their mowers last many years, if properly maintained each season, which you can do yourself, or I am always happy to do for you in a quick time frame at the lowest cost you'll find anywhere, without sacrificing any quality whatsoever. :)

  17. How's your mower and outdoor equipment running?

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    Still seems that up to 75-80% of my calls have been people on the prowl for rebuilt or used mowers and other items, similar in nature. Due to very few people calling with junkers, I have NO mowers for sale...

     

    However, I have went out on my rounds and inspected several mowers who the owners were done with and wanted to buy a new one, only to find that I could get them back in the grass for around $150 on riders ($250 max) and getting their push mowers back to work for less than $100, often around 75. Folks, please consider this. I am flattered that so many trust my "used and rebuilt" mowers, as I do go through everything possible to insure you get your money's worth. But also consider most problems cost a lot less than you might think. I will often throw in a few extra's and adjustments to make sure you'll be good to go for quite a while, in some cases, YEARS, as long as you let me keep it tuned up each season.

     

    Call me at 678-315-8794. I do everything, including what no one else will touch with a 10 foot pole.....why??? Because I know I CAM!! ;)

     

    Thanks folks! :)

  19. Lawn Mower Repairs / Small Engines in Dallas, Hiram

    Hey, Subby - do you have any push mowers for sale? I have a friend who is looking for a couple....told him about you...gave you a bump for great repairs and told him I would ask if you had any for sale.

     

    If so, please send me a PM with type and prices, please.

     

     

    Thanks!

     

    Not at the moment...just one I'm trying to get right that is a donation mower. But I post them as they become available, so keep your eyes peeled. My list of people looking for used equipment has gotten so big I can't keep track anymore so I'm just posting as they get done and ready to sale. ;)

  22. That time of year again - Free mower to the needy

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    I haven't received any emails or PM's from anyone, so I'm bumping this again. Most donations usually go to single moms who have kids old enough to mow for them while they are working...just to give you an idea of how to best supply someone who's having a hard time keeping their yard up. So, send those PM's to me. Next mower should be ready by this weekend.

     

    Thanks folks, for your kindness and concern for those less fortunate than we may be. :)

     

    Glenn

     

    p.s. The PM's do not have to refer to anyone...they can be you if you if you're in need of a mower and can't afford it. ;) I try to choose people as fairly as I possibly can, and I'd prefer to stay away from "drawings" in which anyone can win a mower. This is simply a community service, catering to those in need. Thanks again, everyone. :)

  24. That time of year again - Free mower to the needy

    in Business NEWS

    Posted

    Thanks to contributions from my local Paulding bunch, I have been able to gather up some used mowers to rebuild. While I resale most of them, I like to donate at least one a month to someone in need, usually single moms who have kids that can operate them and keep up the yards. I will have one ready by the weekend, so please PM me people you know of, and I'll do my best to decide which one needs it the most. This is an honor system, so please only PM me folks that you KNOW really need one. Over the past few seasons I have been able to help out some folks who couldn't afford a mower, and some were getting flack from their neighbors about their yards getting over grown. Probably 90% of them were single moms who had to work all day but had kids old enough to do yard work while mom was bringing home what bacon she could. My heart goes out to these families. And this is the only way I can afford to help them out...but we all do what we can based on what we can offer. Please PM me this week, and hopefully by Saturday someone can be helped. I plan to make this part of a community service for my local folks, and I would like to step it up to 2 mowers a month, perhaps more if possible. I know a lawn mower aint all that big a deal, but a nice cut yard is something that people can come home to and feel very good about.

     

    I have more regulars on this site than I could ever count, and I appreciate your business as well as your generosity. Let's all pull together and help those out who really need it, no matter what services we all have to offer. :) I firmly believe this is what I love about living in this county the most, and the more we all pitch in, the better we can help other peoples' lives who may need a helping hand. Lord knows, I've needed help in the past, and you folks have always managed to pull me through some really hard times. I look forward to giving back, as well. :)

     

    You can either PM me or email me at glennsmowerrepair@att.net

     

    I'd prefer PM and emails over calls, since my only number is for business, if that's okay with yall.

     

    Thanks again!

    Glenn / Subby

     

    p.s. and remember, I am still always on the look out for mowers people want to give away. The don't have to be running...I can handle that part and it will help me be able to donate more. ;)
