They listened to an attempted start, and guessed it was a stuck valve. Fixed it while I waited in 15 min. Works out of a house, so call ahead to make sure he is there. This was the only small engine repair I could find in Anchorage, and I was glad to have such fast and successful service.

Went in 2 weeks later and they said nothing yet and blamed it on the shipping company. In all honestly, I think they forgot to order it. Anyways, it's been almost 2 months and nothing from them yet so I ordered one from eBay a couple of days ago and got it today. The guys there are hopeless. Customer service is horrible. Fortunately, I was in no big rush to get this part but that's beside the point.

I am so disappointed in the way I was treated by the employees of this company after a rock that…read morefell from their dump truck smashed my windshield On the Glenn Highway. I brought it to their attention immediately and was immediately treated rudely and essentially was told I was lying and that there is no way that could have happened. I explained that I saw the rock fly at me from the box, but they dismissed anything I said. I expected they would have offered to submit a claim through their insurance or perhaps offer to help pay for the repair. I used to be a customer, as I prefer to hire local companies, but I will never ever give business to these people who treat other people that way again.

After last winter, we are getting an early start on refilling the woodshed. When our limbing saw had personal issues starting, we took it in to Ak Specialty Equip for some TLC. I am in my mid 70s and was struggling to use our heavy saw for limbing, After a couple weeks my husband stopped at the shop to check on it. The counter man found my saw in the pile and immediately checked and adjusted it until it was leaping into life on the first pull. And he showed Dick how to tweak it if the saw misbehaved again. Cheerful excellent service and I am grateful to be back in the woods cutting our winter's wood again. Thank you.

As a customer of Alaska Specialty Equipment Baileys Rent-All for years, I was VERY disappointed…read morewith their recent lack of help refurbishing my Stihl chainsaw. Despite submitting the saw for repair on July 26, 2024, they still hadn't repaired or even evaluated it as of November 12th! I NEVER received any contact from them about the issue of delays. Out of frustration and lack of patience, I picked up the saw earlier today, took it to AIH repair center down the street, and received results with a few hours. Alaska Specialty's only explanation for the poor service was the the project had "fallen through the cracks" and admitted they have only one service technician with a backlog of 100's of projects. A much better business plan would have been to accept only as much work as could be completed in a timely manner i.e. less than a month. I am not sure I'll be back.

On the not so good side. Field employees performing the work were less than professional and I would not say journeymen trade skills. They randomly showed up at house unannounced. Did not check in upon arrival or when they left For day or completed the work. Their design, installation and quality of workmanship very substandard. First rain showed a couple of spots no silicon or sealed corners at down spouts with leaks. Day after job completed. Initially, when we were discussing the job We requested the possibility of yanking off Christmas lights on Faccia boards and simply tossing on ground below since they were there. They stated there would be a nail removal and upcharge fee added to estimate for this request. I spoke to the manager of the company after his guys "finished job and left with a ridiculous final configuration of downspouts which posed a tripping hazard for young children and an eyesore and "who did this job?" To anyone that would observe it and there final product leaked! I would NOT refer or recommend these folks to anyone and there lack of communication and lack of professionalism puts you in dilemma so Iso I settle and save a few dollars OR pay a bit more and get a professional completed job by a company who takes pride other workmanship and commitment to customer service. I cannot promote This company to provide gutters repair or replacement! UPDATE. 05/09/2026. The owner reached out to explain his side of story. I would advise future prospective clients ask for referrals to their past customers to see their finished work and have a chat with folks that have contracted them to perform work. If. I were to include pictures. You too would see that this gutter downspout is NOT under deck. It passes for 10 or 15 feet away from house at knee to shin height cutting off all access to under deck and all who look at it. Will go wow what's up with that? But, we will remove downspout during the summer and reattach in the fall for safety of young children. Take care. I do appreciate the owner reaching out personally and explaining his perspective
