Sells Used Equipment and represents it as running/good condition and then you use it for a little while and find out it is NOT in good running order, carburetor malfunction be cause ethanol gas was used in it that's why he got it from the owner.!! Tried to tell me contaminated gas was taken out of my weed eater that i bought used from him and it was the gas he had put in it!! He does not make his wrong doing RIGHT.... just takes your money... !! read more

Outstanding service experience! I was unable to remove the blade from my lawn mower for sharpening and called then in advance to see if they could take care of it. First of all, they were actually opened on a Sat afternoon and said they would be open until 4:00. I loaded my Honda mower into my van and when I arrived, Karl offered to take the blade off immediately and sharpen it - no need to drop it off and come back a week later. He offered to replace the bolts (since they were old and worn) and checked my oil and topped it off. I was back on the road in 15 mins and the cost was lower than I expected to pay for that kind of service! It is so rare to get that kind of rapid, friendly reliable service anymore. Karl and Matthews Power Equipment has a customer for life! read more

Went by around 10;30 a.m. Saturday and there were closed. Someone needs to update their hours on here.

Could not be happier with service and rates. We have used them for push mower tune ups - very surprised by the rates... blades sharpened and runs like brand new again! read more

All of the people are Great. Very professional and do not try to take you for unnecessary repairs. They are very honest. It is always a great experience when I go there read more

I've taken a lot of equipment to these guys and generally they've been good but recently I took a handheld gas blower to them because it wouldn't start. I paid a $26 diagnostic fee. They called and said it had low compression and would cost $75 more to fix. I figured a new blower would cost more so I told them to proceed. When I picked it up the bill was $100, so now I'm at $126, more than originally quoted. When I got home, blower would not start at all. I called and they said they warned me it had low compression but they didn't say it wouldn't start. Now $126 in the hole, I have to buy another blower. They should have just said 'it can't be fixed' so I didn't waste the extra $100. read more

Awesome place to get your power equipment repaired/serviced. Honest and dependable! Will never take my equipment elsewhere!

The employees here are very friendly and knowledgeable. I've taken lawnmowers, a leaf blower and a chainsaw here to get fixed. They charge a good and fair price. Turnaround may be a bit long but I think that's due to so many people bringing their equipment here for maintenance and fixing. The lady at the front of the store is friendly and let's you know what may be done and what price it may be and the estimated time to correct the equipment. I would definitely recommend them for your equipment. read more

I have 36" Scag mower I couldn't get to start. I contacted local shops to see how much they would charge to come pick it up to do the repair. Lay of the Land is about 5 miles away and wanted to charge me almost $50 each way. So I had a repairman come to my house in an attempt to get it running. After more than 2 hours he couldn't figure it out and just gave up. I found Mathews Power Equipment on Yelp and gave them a call. They told me they would come get it and return it for $45- good deal so I told them to come get it. They figured out why it wouldn't start, fixed that, changed the oil, sharpened the blades basically gave it a full servicing and returned it to my home all for $207. This place has a customer for life. Very impressed with the level of service I received and at a fair price! read more

Couldn't be happier. I took my lawnmower in, because it was running at about half speed, and belching out vaporized oil when it ran. I feared the worst. For a mere $48, the mower is now running smoothly, with the front wheel drive providing speed like four years ago, when the mower was new. read more

Great service minded shop. Highly recommended. Quick and very reasonable price for top notch service. read more

Matthews Power Equipment - Great service. Quick and reliable. Can't say enough good things about this place - Hardware Stores Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

I will use this place for all my lawn equipment repair needs. Took a trimmer in that just needed a quick carburetor adjustment. I don't have the tools or the know how but knew it was a quick fix. This was the only place in town that would look at it right away. They fixed it in 5 min rather than the 2 weeks everyone else was telling me. They were kind a courteous and treated me with respect. Highly recommended. Thank you so much! read more

I've taken my push mower here a couple of times in the least few years, and they're consistently able to get it sounding like new again. The first issue was a cheap carburetor combined with ethanol fuel, and they replaced the carb under warranty. The second issue was caused by debris in the fuel lines (despite switching to non-ethanol), but they also serviced every component to make sure nothing else was creating problems. The service is always great but 1) it's not cheap, and 2) it's not quick (with the exception of blade sharpening, which they've always done for me in 10 minutes). I probably spent almost as much money on service as I spent to buy the mower in the first place. I'm not really surprised (it's an entry-level Husqvarna/B&S), but had I known this when I bought the mower, I probably would've spent more up front. You can also expect it to be 10-20 days before your equipment is done. This is a really popular place in the Spring when landscaping season picks up. However, it's not an issue if you're able to get ahold of another mower. read more

I bought a Honda lawnmower from Matthews Power Equipment twenty-five years ago when they did sales as well as service. They've been servicing it regularly since then, and it's still starts on the first pull. They're friendly and their prices are fair. One of my go-to businesses. It's not a fancy place, and it's hidden away off Monroe Rd. in Matthews, but they're very good. Highly recommended. read more

The front axel was bent on our Ariens tractor and Karl (the owner) told me what I needed to order to save money. I bought the parts and took them to him and he had my tractor fixed and ready to return it the very next day. I will always use this company for all of my yard equipment... they are honest and the repair cost is very low compared to other mower repair companies :) read more

Had to take my mower back a few days after servicing for the same problem, runs then stops. 1st charge was $56, they blamed gelled gas but I have been using the same fuel out of the same container for all of my equipment and it still runs fine. They said they would give me a break on the cost and charged me $46 for the same job, leaving me with no fuel in the tank to test it before I left. Courtney said she would give me a better break but when I went to pick it up and mentioned that the girl at the counter only laughed and asked me to enter my pin# for payment. I won't be back, even if the damn thing is still broken. read more

I just had my Toro self-propelled push mower and Cub Cadet riding mower serviced after several years of neglect. The staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. Both mowers were returned running better then ever and were finished in less than the time they quoted. read more

Brought my ride-on mower for service to them. It had been outside in the elements for at least 5 years without being serviced. I still used it. It ran, roughly, but I had not changed the oil, filters, etc. After Matthews Power Equipment serviced my mower, sharpened the blades, changed the filters, belts, etc., cleaned it up, it now runs better than ever! Smoother, quieter, steers better, everything is great. They did what they said they would, for a reasonable price, and I will be a customer for life! read more

I had my Poulan chain saw serviced here last week and it now runs at least as well as it did when it was new. Price was very reasonable, and I will be back whenever I need small engine service. read more

Very unfortunate experience at Matthews Power Equipment. Honda mower needed repair of transmission. Needing replacement. Following repair (1 week), we went to start it and after many tries, it failed to start and gas was coming out of muffler. Took the mower back in. After conversation with technician it was determined the needle in the carb was stuck. When my wife stopped to check on the mower that afternoon the technician was extremely rude and actually "accused" us of tipping the mower over. When we explained, this did not happen...he continued to say we were wrong. And even went so far as to sling the air filter across shop. He acted as though we had broken his lawn mower. We didn't care how it happened, we just wanted it fixed and were willing to pay, which we did. As a former small business owner I know that this is not the way you treat customers, especially repeat customers that constantly refer business. read more

On 9/11/2014, I took my riding lawn more with a flat tire to be repair. I did called trying to get price for it. I was told that a tube will be $18.00 plus $ 7 or 8 to do it. But when I got to the site and met a gentleman who work there. I do not recall he mention his name. He told that I need a tube and he will charge.04 hour labor which is $30.00 plus $21.95 for tube. The job did not take more than 20 minutes. The $30.00 was for the removing the tire and replaced it back in place. Toooooomuch money. I felt like been rob with a gun in my face. He took advanced the opportunity of need it to do right way. I do not recommend this business to no one. read more

I have a pretty dusty area in my back yard (between the shade trees, dogs and kids the grass is very thin with lots of open dirt). I keep the grass about 3" deep and have to cut it almost weekly so the mower gets a lot of use. This year, same as last year, I pulled out my mower, got half way through the yard and it died. I took it both times to Matthews Power Equipment located off Monroe Road near the intersection of 51. Both times the woman at the front desk was very friendly and professional for the intake and gave me an estimated 10 day turn around time. Six days later she called to tell me the mower was ready for pick up. Great communication! When I picked it up I found they had not only serviced the mower but also power washed it! It looked new! The mechanic came out, started it up and talked to me for a minute about what they found wrong, fixed or replaced. Total cost was about $75. He helped me load it into my car and, same as last year, suggested I use only non-ethanol gas, which I purchased on the way home! They are friendly, professional, have great communication, quick service and fair prices. They've earned my trust and I won't go any where else! Thank you Matthews Power Equipment! read more

I took my Craftsman - Honda motor lawn mower in for a tune up, blade sharpening, rear wheel replacement and oil/filter change. The self propelled belts were also adjusted as well as the throttle/choke. Even though I had to wait for the new rear wheels to come in, it was well worth the wait. I have had this mower serviced by two other shops and they did nowhere near the quality of work that Karl Goble did. My blade was also bent and he found a used replacement and did not charge me anything for it. My recoil pull start was barely working and he suggested that I replace it with a new one. I did and it was well worth the reasonable $20 cost for a new one. My 10 year old mower now runs and looks great ( he cleaned up the exterior of my mower) and I owe it to the great service of Karl. I also received an itemized receipt that listed the costs of all the parts and the labor charges. That has never happened at the two other power equipment shops that I have previously used. I will definitely use Karl for all of my power equipment needs and I highly recommend that you do too! read more
