    Receipt from Trevor True Value Advanced Small Engine - the owner is a conman, shyster, shady, and a thief. Stay away!
    Kirsten B.

    Description:Update: I took my mower to Trevor True Value. Less than an hour after I dropped it off it was completely fixed! I verified with the True Value mechanic that anyone who says they work on small engines should be able to diagnose and fix this easily. The guy at Advanced Small Engine is a crook, liar, and shyster. He said my mower wasn't fixable and I needed to buy a brand new one. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!! Do the right thing and take it to Trevor True Value where mine was fixed for less than $75. Advanced Small Engine: I left my mower with you on May 11th at you "moms house" which is less than a mile from my house. It was running but going up hills it started smoking. You said it was the oil and gas mixing and that you would clean/blow out the gas and oil lines and the carburetor. You said you would have it back to me in a few hours that same day. You don't answer my texts from a week later asking to pick up my mower. I finally hear from you that I can pick it up on May 19th. I am unable to pick it up until May 22nd and you have now taken it to a house in Silvis so I have to drive 2 towns over to get it now. You have left it outside, not locked up in several severe rain storms, you tell me the filter is off so I can see where the oil is coming out from. You also tell me to leave $40 for your service in the grill. This is all very shady. I brought the mower home and it won't start. You tell me that if I had read my texts I would have known that it wasn't working. In none of the text or calls did you say it wasn't working until I called you. My mower worked before I gave it to you to "fix" and now it doesn't work. I have paid for you to ruin my mower in the most shyster or ways. My mower worked before I gave it to you but doesn't anymore! You said that after you worked on it that it it started spewing oil. Again it didn't do that before you got it. When I say I'm going to get my money back out of the grill (very shady dealings) that your son has already gotten the money and that your services still would cost money, even though as I see it you broke my mower. Now when you said it just needed cleaned now that you've had it for 10 days (not the few hours originally promised) you say I need to buy a brand new mower and that its shot. Here's how I view it. The mower is less than 2.5years old. It's a self propelled AWD Husqvarna. It worked before you got it. Now it doesn't. What should I think?

    I left this review on the local dealers website four years ago but was reminded today when my…read morebrother in law was considering buying a new lawn tractor and was considering a John Deere. As I have done for the last four years I have shared my negative experience with anyone considering a purchase of a John Deere tractor. as a quick reminder the company and their dealers are instructed not to allow customer dissatisfaction to be escalated that is a unique and frustrating policy. the following is my original posting. Hopefully this is helpful just remember Buyer Beware. My John Deere D130 tractor transmission only lasted 4 years and 145 hours. The express warrantee was for two years and 120 hours but the implied warrantee would clearly indicate for almost $2,000 it should last much longer under normal wear and tear. John Deere sent a $100 standard coupon for a $1,000 repair. Both John Deere corporate and spoke to Flinn who refused to allow me to speak to his supervisor which appears to be a John Deere corporate policy to stonewall dissatisfied customers as this is the same answer provided by John and Pat at G&H in North Haven. I have the defective transmission that the dealer did not take apart to see if it could be repaired. The tractor didn't move and was leaking fluid which was all they wanted to know. Corporate reported back that the dealer said it was over used. So there you have it life expectancy for their tractor is four years and 145 hours for nearly $2000. I reported this to BBB and John Deere corporate provided no additional evidence to denying any support of their defective transmission. Poor business practices. I also emailed John May their chairman and did not receive a response. I will NEVER buy a John Deere product again and will share this story with others.

    Before you buy a John Deere Tractor consider these additional issues & costs…read more I have a John Deere X300 Tractor: * Has 203 hours of use * Always stored in my garage * Only used to cut my lawn * Nothing ever placed on the hood * Taken excellent care of the tractor Yesterday after cutting my lawn and then cleaning my tractors as usual, I was backing the X300 into my garage and noticed the hood was split 2/3 of the way down the center of the hood. Considering the cost to purchase my John Deere Tractor of $3,700, I assumed this must be a one-off issue and John Deere will help with a replacement. I called John Deere twice, the first time I knew nothing of a known hood issue with John Deere Tractors, and the only help John Deere's customer service would officer is to "document the issue". After which I looked online and found several YouTube videos of how to "patch" the cracked hoods with tape, etc. I then called around to repair shops, this is a prevalent problem. Go to a John Deere dealer and the cost to replace the hood is $572.00!!! I called John Deere back after discovering this is a manufacturing and product in integrity issue. Again, no help. As I told the customer service person, John Deere has a defective product issue and is expecting its customer base to foot the bill. This is absurd. It was very sad to watch the YouTube videos of people attempting to show others how to "patch" the crack. I purchased my John Deere Tractor believing it was a quality product with excellent customer service. With John Deere abandoning its customer base, knowing full well that numerous customers are dealing with a defect, is NOT excellent customer service NOR is it a sign that they stand behind their product. John Deere... wake up and do what's right before there is yet another lawsuit filed on behalf of your lawn tractor customers.

    I want to say thank you for your mangers for making another store location mistake right. I had…read moreplaced a online order to be picked up in Sterling, IL. They called me the following day to tell me they promised that item to another person and hadn't taken it out of inventory yet. Personally, to me that sounds like they saved it for an employee or a friend of an employee. Any how this situation wasn't as simple as just placing a new order with a different location as I ordered it on the last day of the sale. I called your store and explained the situation and your manager said just stop in and we will give you the sale price. He would possible hold one for me as we live a hour north and couldn't get down for a couple of days. When I stopped in Wednesday night I spoke with a different manager who honored that price as well. I did not have to go thru the hassle of showing them all my emails for proof (which I was prepared to do) Easy Peasy in and out like that. Now the real hero of this email goes to the poor soul (gentelmen) who had the unluckly fate of having online delivering duty. As he had to help us load in the heaviest of down pours only to have it basically stop raining a few minutes after we left (trust me we were not happy with that either). So tell him we appreciate his hard work and sorry for the soaking and wet clothes for the rest of his shift!!! So thank you to all in Moline. We sit pretty much between Sterling and Moline and for now one if our Clinton location can not help us you will be our first choice. Thank you!!!

He communicated every step of the way, he was very honest with me when there was a delay, and he kept me apprised of progress in locating and pricing the specific items that I requested.

He said he would get back to us with a quote, and that was all he wrote. We never received a quote, a follow-up phone call; never heard another peep out of him. Was our job not large enough to yield a big enough profit? Were we not fancy enough? We don't know. It's rather easy to look the part of a professional company, but STEP ONE is ALWAYS providing Excellent Customer Service. If you can't get back to the customer and say, "I'm busy but haven't forgotten about you" or "I won't be able to do the work for you" then you don't have even a basic understanding of the most important business concept. We do not believe a customer should have to pursue a company to give them their business - isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Even if he came back to us now and offered to do the work for free, we would decline. Too many red flags with this guy!
