Boy is this guy and honest Joe. He'll professionally diagnose the issue. Fortunately my issue was…read morea simple fix costing just a few bucks and he just charged me a bit of time and just a few bucks for the part. He didn't make much money off of me, but he earned my business for life. Other guys would have made up something else to gouge the bill, but Dustin is an honest man. He won't charge you for something you don't need! I recommend him to everyone.

Beware of D&M Small Engine Repair LLC & the owner Dustin Ables…read more I'm making this post in an effort to hopefully save someone money and time by avoiding doing business with a local company that I hired to repair my mower and totally botched the repair job and he won't stand behind his work. I hired Dustin Ables, he owns D&M mower repair located in Sharpsville. My riding mower had noise coming from one of the arbor / spindles. He replaced that whole arbor / spindle assembly with a "replacement" part. One that was definitely wrong for my mower. It failed and started making noise. At that point I decided to look into his repair. I found that the whole assembly that he installed wasn't even close to what the OEM part was. There is 3 inches in height difference alone between the arbor / spindle he installed and the one I had to purchase to replace it that was an OEM assembly thru Simplicity. It took a few trips to the simplicity dealer to get the mess figured out but it's finally fixed after replacing the correct parts. When I was doing the repair I also found that he rigged the pulley on the top of the spindle and it had came loose and it was causing the noise that alerted me that the spindle he replaced was not the correct part. Also while I was taking the spindle apart that he installed I found that he didn't even put any grease in it and I found a piece of a greasy rag inside the assembly. Pic of this is posted too. He charged me 261.85 for the botched repair. Over the past few weeks I tried several times to reach him via phone, text and instant messenger but he will not respond to any of my messages. He knows he botched this repair and will not stand good for his work. Dustin also did one previous repair on a bracket on the same mower just a few days prior which should've been my warning not to use him again. He told me that the bracket that was broken is not available anymore and he would reinforce the broken one and weld it back together. It broke within a couple of strips of mowing and he had to come and take the bracket off again and re-weld it. There was no reinforcement added (as he told me he would do) at all and his weld was obviously subpar and didn't hold. I found an OEM bracket online thru parts tree as well as one of the local Simplicity dealer for just under $11. He charged me $140 for this repair (which included putting grease in the original spindle that initially failed. I'm having my doubts he even greased it as he said he did. After the second time he "fixed" this bracket it loosened up and needed further attention. I repaired it myself as well. Thru conducting business with Dustin I have found that he is obviously not very good at repairing lawn equipment and is also not a very honest individual and is definitely not a good business man. I highly recommend everyone to avoid D&M if you're looking for someone to do repair work on your lawn equipment. I have tried SEVERAL times to communicate with him and he will not answer phone calls, text or messages thru messenger. Dustin had plenty of time to make this right with me and he failed to do so. Do yourself a favor and use a reputable dealer.

I didn't know why but had a good battery. They came and picked up within a week of calling and had I been home the night I called it would have been that day. They called me a few days later and said it was only a blown fuse and returned with a small bill. They could have told me it was something expensive and I'm not sure I would have been able to tell anything different. I appreciate their honesty and quick service and highly recommend them for anyone needing lawn tractor service. The only thing they didn't do was tell me what the amount of the bill was before asking for my payment information. Felt a little awkward interrupting the lady asking me for my payment information without anyone telling me how much the bill was. Extremely minor issue and would use them for all my lawn care needs.

My mower runs as good today as it did in 2011. Their sales and service is as great today as it was in 2011. I'm not great at remembering everyone's names, but I wish you would meet Dave and Jeff, top shelf, honest and helpful. If I were a little more creative, I could probably add a few more compliments. I get no benefit from writing this review, and I believe I am being very truthful. Thank You all, so much.

There is a lot of competition for your business when it comes to lawncare equipment. Big box stores…read morecarry everything you need at competative pricing, but no servicing... Other Lawn & Garden stores offer competative pricing as well, but poor to mediocre customer service. The main thing to me is customer service. At the end of the day, it's the only thing businesses have to offer to set them apart from everone else. It's what doing business is all about. And Joe's has been terrific I bought my lawn tractor from Joe's, and I have it serviced every year. They're fair and knowledgable, responsible and prompt. And, its a locally owned company. I highly recommend doing business there.

I took it back and they tried to say it was my fault it didn't run. Took it to a place in Elkhart and they said it wasn't worth servicing and tried to sell me a new one. When I told them i didn't want a new mower they said they would repair it. After another $300 dollars it only ran marginally better. After a recommendation from a friend I took it to Joe's. Joe got it running great and 100 times better the others and for only $118,00. I will drive the extra miles for the great work and customer service of Joe's Engine. He is a honest man. Not many places like this anymore.
