There's a reason Exact Blade has such consistently good reviews. We dropped off five knives to be sharpened, including one of our Shun knives.

When I got the mower back it wasn't running smooth at all. Surging is the correct word here. A sure sign he didn't work on the carb at all. He claimed it will smooth out in time. Now on to the blade. That was a bad, and rude issue. When I tipped it up to check the job he did on the blade it hadn't been touched. I called him to let him know. He claimed "well it had a couple notches" telling him I knew what shiny looked like and it wasn't even touched. He came back with "I have a big stack of new blades come and get one" he said that rudely. Really rude. I didn't go back as I wasn't sure what he was capable of doing. This guy is a "no account liar" You woud be stupid to use him after reading this.

He told us he was available to come pick it up on Monday: We have a 1979 Craftsman Snow Blower that was given to us brand new in the box. We used it last year for the first time, and it worked fine. This year, we went to start it up, and it wouldn't start. Mark told us he would take a look at it, and give us a call the next day with an update. He did just that, and brought it back to us the very next day. He fixed everything that needed fixing, put fresh oil in it, and got it all ready for winter. He's a super friendly guy, and did really good work. We will definitely be calling him again. Thanks Mark!

Unfortunately due to water and environmental conditions the bottom rusted and leaked, necessitating replacement. Abt could not have been more helpful, in this time of need. The Abt office (Nathan) immediately and fully addressed the situation. The Abt plumbers delivered fast and truly excellent replacement with a new Reliance 50 gallon hot water heater and installed all the necessary copper pipe, valves and fittings---including full labor at no charge. The plumbers (Russell Cartwright and Tyler Fite) installing the unit were very meticulous and highly competent in every detail. They also were extremely helpful and courteous. I have used Abt exclusively for over forty years and recommended their products and service to numerous other home owners--no one has been disappointed. Their appliances and equipment are always top quality but their service and commitment to stand behind and service these products is both outstanding and exemplary. In summary and in brief, they truly are the best.

After bringing my Toro snow blower to my regular service company (sorry, I don't feel comfortable…read morenaming), I was told that I had damaged the scrapper bar and it was too bad to fix.

If you are going to use Greg's, be sure to get an estimate of the repair costs up front. I made the…read moremistake of not doing that. I called Greg's about repairing a broken front-wheel drive cable on a Toro Recycler. I was told over the phone it could be repaired and that it was a simple fix. When I got the mower back nearly three weeks later, I was hit with a bill for $310 and change, more than half the cost of a new mower, same make and model. The bill included several miscellaneous charges that I never authorized. Nor was I ever contacted about whether I wanted those additional services performed. The additional charges: oil change, new spark plug, air filter, blade sharpening, and new wheels. When I take my car into be serviced for one problem and the mechanic finds an additional problem, I am contacted and asked whether I want the additional work performed, and I get a cost estimate. No assumptions are made about what I am willing to pay for. In this case, if I had known the total cost of the repairs to be done, I would've declined having them done and looked into a new mower. Granted, Greg's did reduce the bill by $50 after I expressed my displeasure with their lack of professionalism, but the repair costs are still slightly more than half the price of a new mower. When using Greg's be sure to get a cost estimate up front and spell out the work to be done.
