    Gem of a store. Affable owners who have lots of knowledge and experience with the items they sell. Definitely worth a visit.

    When I brought it in, I was told it was probably too small but he would see what Aaron (the owner) could do.

    They were great, until they went out of business. We bought our Gravely zero-turn mower and…read moreShindaiwa chainsaw there, then they folded up shop without a single word to their customers.

    GO ELSEWHERE If you like dealing with honest and honorable business professionals…read more The only reason they are getting one star is because everyone we spoke with from start to finish of this fiasco was at the very least cordial albeit once or twice with a hint of rudeness. DO NOT bother taking your machine here period! I cannot speak to the quality of their work because they did ZERO WORK. They will quote time frame and come no where near delivering the service on time. We were quoted max 1.5-2 weeks to look at a simple old residential mower and tune up/repair. We would have never left the machine had the quote been longer, and we were assured it would be done in two weeks. We had to contact them multiple times asking for updates (because they lack the common decency and customer service to call and update people) as they went WEEKS PAST their original quote and they had not even looked at or started work on the mower. Finally, my senior mother had had it and wanted her mower back (we had taken it there to have it tuned and possibly repaired - as part of a Mother's Day gift ... we chose this place because it is local, these types of places make local small businesses look bad). A MONTH after the original drop off - She stopped in and asked them to return her machine and not do the work, they told her to come back in the late afternoon because it was in storage and they couldn't get to it. Miraculously they started working on the machine in what only can be garnered as a BS low brow shady move to claim they did something to try to justify charing $45 for doing jack squat! Some employee called up and said he was doing a tune up and it couldn't be repaired...not real smart buddy since we cancelled the work hours prior and then someone started working in it and not only that they were supposed to look at it first to determine what could be done. We got the mower back, still in not working condition and zero work had been done ... clearly no one had even touched it - not one thing had been done. I had a moment where I thought maybe these were honest honorable business people because I hadn't seen a charge, which makes sense since they were WEEKS LATE and did ZERO WORK! Ha laughable, because there it showed up the charge to my account. I called and had a cordial conversation with the manager, he kept spewing one excuse after another trying to cover up the bad quote and bad action and lies from his staff. I asked if we could either get the $45 refunded or compromise at least 50% returned. He went on to make up some lie about the receipt saying no refund, I shared I had the receipt in hand and assured him there was no such language - he then started on to a new shady lie about how it must be the work order, and I told him no indeed it is a receipt with all my billing information. In the end he refused sticking to his low brow lies and shady business practice. GO ELSEWHERE If you like dealing with honest and honorable business professionals.

    I tried Carlson Small Engine because of the lack of negative reviews, he was more convenient than…read moresome places since he's in the middle of Caldwell, and since he was available and answered the phone or called back pretty quickly, and his hourly rate was more reasonable than most these days. And I love that's he a young entrepreneur, and he's doing a practical job to fix things with his hands to help support himself/ his family and help reduce waste in our disposable mindset culture. And when you talk to him, it becomes clear that he has a generally good attitude and is customer-service oriented. I also greatly appreciated that he was patient with the extra time it took me to take the info he gave me and research more, and ask more questions, etc., to make sure I felt comfortable with the work that would be done, and the end price of $120ish was pretty reasonable, in my opinion, to repair a 10-year old Briggs and Stratton mower engine that had started leaking oil profusely when running and hot. I and my children have now used it a few times to mow the yard and it's working great! it seems a little harder for me to pull the starter cord than it did before, but it could just be me, because the children didn't say anything about anything being challenging in any way. They zipped right through mowing like they usually do. He gave me a heads up that he was in the middle of working on a side by side or something when I dropped it off just before July 4, so it took him a few days to give me an initial estimate. Then it took days before I got back to him with the holiday and visiting my mom elsewhere and everything. once I felt comfortable and paid Sam for the invoice, which he sent electronically through email, it was only a few more days before he told me it was done. A few other places I called were booked out at least a couple weeks before I could even drop it off, and it got checked out and repaired while I was elsewhere, so I wasn't home to mow anyway. And other places' hourly shop rates were definitely more! The whole experience was MUCH better than throwing away an inexpensive and repairable mower and then buying a new mower for 3 or 4 times the price of what I paid for repairs or for that mower when it was new, especially when a new main gasket and new spark plug and sharpened blade breathed new life into my current (basic but reliable) Weed Eater brand mower (yes they made a mower back in the day lol!!!). I had just barely changed the air filter so that wasn't needed. Sam answered all my concerns and gave me time to research others' use or not of RTV on the gasket, explained how his invoicing and payment processes worked in advance, etc. and I got it back cleaner than it's looked in years lol. Overall positive experience and I'll definitely take that or another mower to him in the future for repair or maintenance!

    I payed them almost 2k. Very hard to get ahold of. I've called every day for the past week. No…read moreresponse!! Text no response, email NO RESPONSE!!! I talked to them in person in cascade that is how I heard of them. Right now NOT HAPPY WITH THERE SERVICE!! they were supposed to do engine work.
