She rudely put me on hold and never came back on the line before I hung up. I guess I will lose out on this promotion due to MAKITA'S lazy employees!

Bought the mower in 2024, it's been working great but then recently it stopped working. Called up EGO and since my lawn mower is still under warranty they said I have to bring my mower to a certified repair shop to get it fixed. Luckily this place is the repair shop. Michael fixed the mower quick and I'm back in business. There was a delay but it wasn't because of Michael. It was because we had to wait for the part from EGO. Yes the price of the mower is way higher than what we're used to but with the warranty and having this shop nearby as my main lawn mower resource, the cost over many years of ownership is going to be cheaper than buying a new mower every two years. These guys are great and I plan to stick with them as my mower resource for many years.

TLDR, The big lazy guy rolling around in an office chair instead of walking, doesn't know what he's…read moretalking about and is extremely condescending... doesn't seem to care. Consider somewhere else. I called a few places the day before inquiring about a single axel tilt bed equipment trailer. I had a couple local options that had similar prices and a trailer in stock, but my family and I have rented from Cresco a handful of times over the years so I decided to go with them first. I recognized the voice on the phone and have worked with him before, a very nice and helpful gentleman. He told me they only have a single axel in stock which was capped at 4K lbs. No problem, this isn't the first time I've rented a trailer for this purpose, so I knew that with the battery conversion, my lifts gross weight is just around 2,800.. with a typical single axel tilt trailer, around a combined 3,400lbs. So, I make plans to pick up the trailer in the morning. I show up at 8am inquiring about the trailer and unfortunately the guy on the phone isn't there. The two guys in the front office ask me about the model lift I have and what the lift height was. Knowing these guys won't know my lift because it's an older rare brand, I respond "it's a standard size 3k gross pound scissor lift", and the guy sitting in the chair asks again, rudely, "what's the MODEL of the lift". I get it, height generally dictates the weight, but this isn't always the case. So I give it to him and it clearly doesn't register. The other guy heads out to check out my car, while the other larger fella who can't be bothered to stand up, interrogates me more while he rolls about on his office chair. "No, you're going to need a dual axel...". I explain that's not correct, their 4k cap trailer will be fine because I'm well under 3,000 lbs and the right size. The other guy comes back in and tells the lazy fella that I have a "4x4 Crosstrek", prompting the big guy to say, "you need a 1/2 ton truck, you can't tow with that". I don't know where this guy gets off thinking he knows what cars can tow what.. but my Crosstrek is rated for 3,500 lbs, manufacturer specifications. Meaning, not only can I tow this trailer fine, but I can even tow it loaded with my lift, if I wanted. I explain to the lazy big guy, "I'm just picking this up now and will be hooking it up to my truck when I get back..." he cuts me off and says, "doesn't matter, your car can't handle the weight, we're responsible if you crash, it has to be a 1/2 ton truck or larger, that trailer has surge breaks". First, BS.. these guys bare no responsibility for any crashes I cause and their contract and insurance waiver makes sure of it. Second, I of course don't expect them to break their rules, but the fine print in their terms specifies tow capacity, not the size of your truck. So I ask him calmly, "where does it say '1/2 ton' and not weight cap", he cuts me off again "doesn't matter, your brakes can't handle the trailer, the trailer has SURGE brakes.. do you get that, it has SURGE brakes.. your car doesn't have the power to stop it", I asked him to please not talk to me like I was stupid. The problem is, this lazy bumpkin doesn't understand that my car is much more capable stopping with its 4 wheel oversized disk brakes than most peoples 3/4 ton pickups which have weak drum brakes on the back. Again, I'm only towing an EMPTY, 1300lb tilt trailer with my very capable "4x4" Crosstrek. I don't even owe it to them to tell them what I'm towing, since I'm fully responsible. He repeats, "you need a 1/2 ton..". It was clear this wasn't a discussion, just wasted time in a condescending tone. I finally had enough of this guys rude attitude. I've debated him because he is wrong, but I've been polite up until now. His ignorance is messing with my plans and he's being extremely offensive with the way he's talking to me. So I throw it back. "You know what, ufck you guys. you're making things up and you're being extremely rude and talking to me like I'm stupid." As I walk out to take my business elsewhere, I turn around at the door, look straight at the big guy, still rolling around instead of walking, and repeat, "you are a very rude person". This is where I make a promise to myself to leave them a review. He responds, "good... good.. .. I LOVE it!".... What a prick! Well I hope you love this review too. This guy has literally been here since the age of time, quite possibly the manager.. he clearly doesn't care anymore. I leave and call their local competition. Same trailer capacity, same price. I show up, hook it up and head out without the grief given to me by Cresco. It only threw off my schedule by 2 hours, all because of this extremely rude, complacent, lazy old fart that thinks he's smarter than his customers. Never again, and I'll make an extended effort to discourage anyone I know from renting here. Every single customer turned away by this is well earned.

So I stooped over the counter finally and asked him if he could help me. He was very gruff and asked what I wanted I told him I needed a key for my mailbox. He asked me to show me what he needed. I didn't know if he wanted me to come around the counter because he wasn't getting up. It didn't seem appropriate to go on the other side of the counter, so I stayed where I was and didn't know if he was being funny or what his issue was. And then I showed him the different parts to the box that I need and he said I would need a whole new lock to put into the box. So he gets up and gets the package of the set that I need. It shows a price on the package, but he said that's not the right price. I asked him so what is the right price and it was about a dollar more so. I said that's fine. I just wanted to get what I needed and leave at that point. Because he wasn't very pleasant at all. I told him I could pay with my debit card. So he had the machine in front of him and told me to tap my card which I did. Then I was surprised when he asked me for my pin number . Thank goodness, I wasn't intimidated and gave it to him. Instead, I leaned over Covered the number number area with my hand and put in my code myself. I just thought it was so odd and rude of him to ask me for my pin . I'll never go back there again. He seemed very bothered to have me in his shop, was so reluctant to get up from his stool, and it was very awkward when he asked me for my pin number.

The place definitely has that run down feel where REAL people do REAL work fixing things. The gentleman who helped me appeared tired and ill but nonetheless he soldiered on with basically one hand made like 3 sets of keys for me. And they ALL work!!!

Suffice it, I'll only be coming here from now on to make any keys!!! And you should too!!!!

Minus 1-star for each of the following: All-in we paid $299 for the service (parts and labor) which I honestly thought was kind of expensive given that you could buy a brand new lawnmower for a few hundred bucks more, but who am I to say as I'm not the one actually mowing our front lawn. Service is EXTREMELY SLOW. We walked in and took a number right away and the 2 cashiers were already helping customers. I saw ~6 employees walk throughout the store while I was waiting to be called up. An older Hispanic gentleman actually cut the line and went straight to the cashier without having a number. What is the point of having a number ticketing system if you're not going to enforce it?!
