His chainsaw was in and out of shops for 6 months and nobody could figure it out and just playing parts cannon. When my partner came to hard knocks, the owner Royce inspected and immediately knew what the issue was, prioritized him and his time and communicated how long it will take, presented an EXTREMELY reasonable price, and was thorough inspecting, diagnosing, fixing and adjusting more than just what was requested! We highly recommend Royce and his business for many different types of repairs. Here's some photos of our pole saw getting used again for the community!

Hard Knocks Small Engine Repair will be my go-to shop for maintenance and repair for as long as I…read morehave a mower. Here's why: I have had an issue with my Ariens lawnmower for about three years that the local authorized repair place said was "fixed" the four times I had it in there, only to have the same problem occur when the mower came back to me. The issue was the mower would stall when trying to mow uphill, but only when the gas in the tank was down by about a third (Weird, huh?). I was about to sell the thing and buy something different, but thought I would give Hard Knocks Small Engine Repair a chance at it before I did that. They fixed it. He diagnosed the problem as having something to do with a vacuum line not working like it should on an incline. His solution was to install a fuel pump and it hasn't had that problem since. I would think that a riding lawnmower would have a fuel pump standard, but that's not the case with mine. When I got it back from them, I deliberately didn't fill the tank above about half and it mowed up my steep hill without a problem. I've mowed four times since the fuel pump installation and absolutely no problems at all. This nine-year-old lawnmower runs like new! Hard Knocks had the mower for a couple of weeks, but they came and picked it up just at the beginning of the mowing season, when he was swamped with seasonal business. He called me about three times during the process, making sure I knew what he was doing and suggesting a fix and indicated that he had done quite a bit of research on this particular mower with regard to this issue. I was expecting a huge bill because I had him change the oil, sharpen the blades, fix the blade release mechanism and, level the mowing deck. But all that and installing a fuel pump was less than $300. To replace the mower with a new one would be about six times that, so win!

He took all the money $$ and never fixed any of the electrical mess. We had no lights for weeks. Hired another local company and confirmed nothing was done. And our house could've caught fire at any time. He couldn't fix everything but made it a lot safer for us. Same with my neighbors & their homes. Owner of Bolton Electric is also our neighbor on the same street! When I asked if he could come out and see if anything had happened from when he did the "work". I never blamed him for doing a bad job till we found out the whole truth! He had stated, that if he had to come over to double check his own work then he would charge me double. You never did the work in the first place Ahole! Hire someone else. Stay away from this company and the owner! Wonder if he would care if our house caught fire then his did - he would only have himself to blame. 0.00 NEVER again! He's lucky if he doesn't get a lawsuit soon.

Essentially, the faucet on my home is old and it didn't even require any actually work. He tightened what needed to be tightened and showed me in my basement where the shut off value is to prevent any further leaking. He advised that he wouldn't charge me anything since he didn't really "do anything" but I still paid him. Time is money and it's the holidays. His honesty and reassurance of the issue and his care of showing me how to do something myself was worth writing a check. I highly recommend them and will continue to use their services when needed.
