Had my lawnmower blade sharpened on the spot within a few minutes after calling to check on if this service was available. Brought it in after the call. Great customer service. read more

Avoid this place, the last thing thing Aaron is: honest. I paid $300 for Aaron to "fix" my pressure washer. He ended up replacing the engine. When I got it home that same day it wouldn't start so I had to haul it back to his shop and he had to do some additional work on it. TOTAL hassle. No apology and no refund. Next season I tried to start it and it wouldn't start. I have a bad shoulder so I asked Aaron if he could come to my place since I've got a bad shoulder it makes it hard for me to load the pressure washer into the vehicle and it's only 10 minutes away...and I've already paid him a lot of money. He volunteered to come out but apparently he was LYING because he then stopped communicating and never showed up. read more

I had my Honda HRX217 lawn mower serviced at Aaron's Honest Engine. It had been more than a couple of years since I had any work done on it. I found Aaron's Honest Engine after going to other businesses, who basically told me to go somewhere else. I knew it would take a while to get the service done because I waited too late in the season to get a quick turnaround. I knew it need spark plugs, filters and an oil change. They also cleaned it up and sharpened the blades. My lawnmower has a key ignition and has not worked even after having new batteries put in twice. However, I could still use the pull start. it now starts with a turn of the key and without replacing the battery. This was the best and most reasonable service I have ever had on this lawnmower. I also appreciated the quick response to my text queries. I will definitely return for service in the future and share my experience with friends and family. read more

Aaron's Honest Engine - Honda HRX217 mower - Appliances & Repair Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

I called AAron's and asked if they did home services. They said they would come and pick up the lawnmower. They texted me they would be at my residence between 8:30 am and afternoon to pick it up. NO call NO show. If they can't complete something as simple as this. I would be worried about letting them work on my equipment. read more

Had a great experience with Aaron. An old belt broke after a tuneup he did on my lawnmower. When I brought it back in he addressed it right away and took great care of me. Definitely found my mower guy. read more

I took my pressure washer here that hadn't been started in years, and would not start. Quick and easy drop off, and they said they would go through it and give it a service. The job was completed in exactly the time they said it would take to get to it, and was a fair price. The engine started up great right away. Later on, I had some questions about using it in cold temperatures, and was put on the phone directly with the person who worked on the engine, and they talked me right through what I should do. It's rare these days to see people who care this much about their customers after the fact. I will definitely be going bak here again. read more

I appreciated their straightforward approach to servicing my power washer. The service was performed on time and on budget, and they kept me informed of the issues they encountered during repair. They also gave me a minor tutorial on good maintenance and practices before helping me to load my equipment. "Honest Engine" is a spot on name for the business. read more

Five stars times 10. This guy lives up to the word "Honest." He fixed my Snapper mower at a reasonable price. I took it home and the next morning I went to start it and it wouldn't start. I called him to report it and he came to my house and picked it up, took it back, made an adjustment, and now it works great. Who does that? He's in Gladstone and I'm located near the PDX airport. AMAZING! I wish all businesses were like Aaron's Honest Engine. Craig G. read more

I have an older cultivator that FINALLY needed some work. Not bad after 35 years. The problem was that it was 35 years old, so parts were hard to find. It felt like it was going to be impossible to fix it, but Aaron's Honest Engine stuck with it and miraculously found parts. The price in the end was great-- like too great. I felt like I was ripping them off, to be honest. But that is how this shop does business-- great skill, good service, and fantastic prices. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Took my power washer in to be fixed. Two week wait that became three, only after prodding. Took it home and pump didn't work. Took it back and took four weeks to tell me it was unrepairable. Again I had to stop at the shop as they never contacted me. Nice courteous people, I just think they are overwhelmed with the amount of equipment they have in backlog. read more

Thank you Aaron......how refreshing to discover an honest, reasonable, knowledgeable, friendly repair person. AND....the only guy around that knows how to repair switch issues on EGO Mowers! I will only bring my mowers back to Aaron and no one else! Brian read more

My husband ran over a piece of re-bar while mowing the lawn. Called Aaron up and dropped the mower off on a Saturday. It needed a new blade, crankshaft, and oil change.The total cost was $95 and we picked it up on Thursday. Lawnmower runs as good as new. Great mom and pop type service. Good prices and quick turn around. We'll be giving all of our small engine business to Aaron and will tell others about him. I wish I could give 10 stars. Enough said. read more

I have used Aaron's company for over a year now and you can count me among his list of satisfied customers. His pricing is fair in my opinion and his work is thorough and competent. I am happy to support a small family business that focuses on quality work and customer service. read more

I have a John Deere riding mower I had serviced at a local company. I bought it from them and had annual maintenance done diligently. The machine is only 4 years old. When I started having some problems last year, I had to have it at the shop twice in a row. I had to send it back a third time and was told I needed a full engine repair for $1100. What? I called Aaron and had him pick it up for a second opinion. He had a different diagnosis and repaired it for a third of the cost. I will be using this company in the future for all of my maintenance needs. read more

Aaron did a great job on our mower, and even threw in some used parts we needed for free! Recommended! read more

This dude is great. Excellent work. Personable. Affordable. Fast. Can't say enough good about him.

Aaron lives up to his name. Not only is he honest he knows his stuff. He is reasonably priced and does his best to come up with solutions to your equipment. And when your machine isn't worth repairing he gives honest feedback that it maybe time to buy a new one. I really appreciate his service. read more

I first called here after seeing reviews on Yelp. So glad I did. Other repair shops whom were much closer were a couple weeks out to even look at it. I have an older Honda mower that I stupidly tried to put a new blade on with cheap 12 point sockets and ended up stripping the bolts. Aaron dropped everything when I came in and got into it. It was a bigger project than either of us figured and he ended up cutting them off. He asked for $20 as that is what the quick job should have been, I gave him more as the job took far longer due to the old rusted bolts seized on. I will be bringing him all me business from here on out. Please support this guy, he is the BEST!!! read more

The starter cord had ripped off my lawnmower. Both myself and two of my housemates had all tried for weeks to fix it ourselves- to no avail. We called in and I brought our lawnmower out the same day. While I was untying it from my pickup bed, Aaron walked out to greet me. Without my asking, he voluntarily helped unload the mower to the ground. He was extremely personable, made sure I could see everything he was doing and showed me how to fix it myself. When it was all done, the price he had charged was a fraction of the cost what anywhere else would have cost. Completely transparent, the best value in Portland, Aaron has the brick and mortar experience to back up his own business. He even volunteered to help me load it back into my truck. If I ever have problems with my mower again, I am taking it back to this guy! read more

I found Aaron on Yelp based on his reviews. He was able to diagnose and fix a tiny gas leak on my 15 year old Echo chainsaw that has been missed for the last 3 times I brought it to another place to be fixed. His prices are super fair and he seems to be knowledgeable on any small engine repair. He is definitely my go-to guy now. Don't think twice about trusting him with fixing your favorite small engines. read more

Aaron's work is very thorough. The price to repair and service my equipment has always been fair and reasonable and his work is backed by an excellent warranty. There's a good reason why "Honest" is in his company name. read more

Have taken 3 machines to Aaron's - one was returned running better than when I got it new - the other two I was told were not worth the effort (and cost) to repair. Prices were reasonable. Service quick. Told me what to buy next time if I want them up last longer. read more

Fast and friendly. Aaron did a great job resurrecting my old MTD mower. Did several extra touches and when I picked it gave me a nice discount. Thanks so much! read more

I've had several pieces of outdoor equipment in for Aaron to work on over the last year and he's always done excellent work at very reasonable prices. Aaron's my "go to guy" for all outdoor equipment repairs! read more

Aaron does great work and at a fair price. I took my lawnmower and then I took my power washer and now they both run amazingly. He was upfront and honest about everything. I would not go to another small engine shop for any repairs. You need to go here people read more

Solid! Aaron fixed my sputtering leaf blower and even went so far as to instruct me on how to manage the maintenance myself. That's about as honest as it gets. read more

Quick, courteous , and thorough service. Price was reasonable and my mower was returned in better shape regarding the tuneup but also the small aspects that can go unnoticed for preventative issues. Won't think twice about giving him my biz!! read more

Aaron is true to his word... he sold my daughter a great lawnmower and we couldn't be more pleased. He's the real deal !!!

Aaron did a great job fixing my old chain saw and made it new again... promised it in 5 days and had it done in two. Thanks Aaron, I will bring by my tractor when I get time... read more

Aaron stands earnestly behind his work and will make it right when asked to follow up on his repairs as needed. I believe this business name is accurate. Recommended. read more

I have brought 2 broken lawn mowers to this small engine magician, and have not been disappointed!!!! Aaron repaired both of my mowers for in 2 days for a very decent price. If you are looking for a small engines tech this is your guy!!! read more

Fast service, very knowledgeable and really fair pricing! Will be definitely coming back for future repairs.

This guy is the real deal. Honest, GOOD, appreciative of the business. He rebuilt the carbon in an ancient Jonsered chain saw. He put on a new chain. Re-attached the handle with a new isolater I brought in. Ran like a charm. The sad truth is, I no longer have the strength to turn it over, now that it finally works again! So sad for me, but on the other hand, good for us that Aaron is helping us. read more

Aaron used to work for Al's mower's on SE 89th and Division so we have known him for years. Once Al passed away and the business closed we had to find a new service provider. We were thrilled that we found Aaron had opened his own business. He's a very hard worker who takes pride in his business. Prices are good, very efficient and works on multiple types of small engine equipment. My husband and I plan on being customers of his for years to come. read more

Omg!! This is the BEST place to have your lawn mower repaired!! Aaron did a fantastic job on ours, he did a complete tune-up and replaced the carberator, found our blades were upside down lol, fixed that and sharpened them too! He put on a new carberator and fixed and replaced a few other things. Its like we have a new mower in no time at all! Plus, the cost was minimum, well under $90. Plus his customer service and time spent on the repair was impeccable! If you're looking for an honest small engine repair shop, Aarons honest engine is the place to go!! read more

What a pleasure to find an honest repair shop. This guy is a rare find. I took my 30+ year old MiniMac chain saw to Aaron to see if he could get it running for me. I haven't run it for many years and was afraid that the old stale gas in it may have ruined it. Within a week Aaron called and told me he had got it running, but not dependably. He said it needed a carburetor that was no longer available. He said that he might have a used one and he would call me back - would that be okay? I told him that maybe it wasn't worth fixing and maybe I should just give it to him for parts. He said it was worth fixing because you couldn't find a more reliable handy little chainsaw when they are working right. A little over a week later he called me and said he had it running reliably and had cleaned out 30+ years of gunk, old sawdust, replaced the spark plug, sharpened the chain, cleaned out the guide on the bar for less than I could buy a new saw. He is a great guy and I am sure this little saw challenged his knowledge and expertise. I have another old Mac chainsaw that I will be taking to him to perform his expertise on. He has my business from this day on and I will recommend him to anyone who has a need for small engine repair. I would give him a 10 star rating if it were available. read more

I cant remember when I've been treated to such professional yet casual service.Not only are they fixing my mower,they lent me one to use. This kind of customer service is rare. I will be a customer as long as they are in business! K. Burke read more

Aaron repaired my chipper/shredder and replaced a bad carburetor on my power washer. Today I'll bring in my lawn mower that has a fuel blockage. He and his crew do outstanding work (what needs to be done and no more) for very reasonable prices. Very highly recommended. read more

Aaron's only mistake was thinking he didn't deserve a great review. Efficient, friendly, well-priced, convenient. Gives a guarantee. Doesn't try to up-sell. Lives up to his reviews. Worth driving across town for. read more

Having Aaron to bring things to is just like having a helpful handy-man in the neighborhood, at a great price and really friendly. Will recommend and will def go back. read more
