On 8.4 2026 I dropped of my string trimmer and backpack blower. My blower only needed a new pull…read morecord and my string trimmer needed a tune-up. I gave the shop guy all my information (cell-email). He told me it would be two weeks before anyone could even look at my equipment, REALLY!!!!! Every time I have gone in to this location there seems to be no one working in the shop that's why we as customers have to wait 3-4 and even 6 weeks for our equipment to be repaired. I have been a customer at this location over 10 years and the guy behind the shop desk didn't have a clue of what he was doing. He asked me for a $60.00 dollar deposit for each piece of equipment ($120.00) up front, WHY!! then he told me they would call me when ready. Well today in 8.21.2026 and when I stopped by on 8.20.2026 everything was ready. I asked to talk to the shop manager (John) about why I didn't get a call. His answer was " we left a voicemail on 8.17.2026 at 3:30pm. That's BS, I never got a call on 8.17.2026 letting me know my equipment was done. Then he decided to say " we don't lie" well you DID lie!! from reading other reviews about this location I guess you all are accustomed to give out faulty information and bad attitudes across the board. I them dropped off my power shears to have the blades sharpened on 8.15.2026 and the guy behind the shop desk said "these will be done in 2days" well yesterday 8.20.2026 was 5 days. Again no call, no communications. I picked up all my equipment yesterday 8.20.2026 after waiting 3 weeks for my blower-string trimmer and 5 days instead of what they told me 2 days for my power shears, which I then asked the shop manager " are you going to give some kind of refund", his answer was "NO but I will give you 10% off of what you owe" and he didn't give me the 10% off of what I owed after looking at my receipt. Over promising and underliving is bad business!!! I have never experienced this kind of customer service ever, they all didn't seem to give a crap about helping me or giving any kind of refund. I will never NEVER go to this location ever again. Oh, the shop guy John just slammed the door to his shop with the rudest attitude I have ever encountered. In my opinion all management in any industry should go up and beyond for there customers, this location has no customer service skills, why do you all work there? If I was in charge I would clean house and hire friendly and professional employees. I am surprised this store is still open. I have told all my friends about my experience and told them to go elsewhere if they want there equipment serviced and employees that actually care about them and there needs. These employees that work at this location should be ashamed of themselves for bad attitudes, bad customer service, I could go on but I don't want to waste anymore of my time. Don't shop here, don't drop your equipment off just don't go!!

Not sure how this place has 5 star reviews. I messaged his site about my mower that ran, but the…read moreblade didn't spin. He showed up to our first appointment over 2 hours late and did a 4-6 minute diagnosis on it and said he'd contact me in the next day or two to let me know when he could fix it. I said it ran last time I used it, the transmission ran, the blade just wouldn't spin and that's all I knew. A week went by and nothing, I was about to move on then, but he called and we set up an appointment the next week. He was 2 and a half hours late to that appointment too. Before he came the day before, I asked if he had any idea how much it would be and all he would say was "Cheap as possible" I know service can't give you a direct quote because things pop up, but he could at least say the cable is x dollars, my hourly rate is x, it will take x time so anything more will be above that. This is where I started to get the scammy vibes. It's a 10 year old mover so he suggested I change the belt so I said go ahead. He asked if I had a covered area, I have a completely covered patio in the back so I said yeah. Never asked if it was in the front or the back. He starts replacing the broken cable and realizes he has the wrong cable so he needs to go get a new one. Comes back, puts the cable on, then says, oh that's not the right blade so I got a new one for you. I knew the blade that I put on it was the exact same blade that came off it, I bought the mower new from Home Depot, got the new blade from Home Depot, The blade literally says that it's for my model lawnmower in the title on their website. It was the right blade. His was a totally different shape. He said it would be $25 more so I just said whatever. Then some time goes by and I see him taking the carbs off and pulling the air filter, messing with the oil so I start wondering is this going to cost me so I went out and asked him why he was doing all this extra work? He just assumed he was going to do whatever he wanted. Yes my air filter is dirty as hell, it's a 10 year old mower. But it ran. So we have a disagreement there, he says "I just like to do thorough work." I said I didn't ask for any of this, I just wanted the blade to spin. So he seems pretty butthurt at that point, comes to the door and says how about $200? At that point I just wanted it to be done so I agreed that I would pay him $200. He works some more, He says he's done. I go out to pay him, give him cash as he's writing my invoice. He's about to send it and says "Why don't you try to start it up" so I do and I couldn't even pull the cord it was so tight. He flips it over and is like oh damn, theres another belt in there that's all twisted up and destroyed I didn't see. At that point he calls Toro and reserves another belt and says he'll be back next Monday to fix it. Later that day he calls me and says he's sorry and that he'll fix it to make it right but I'm going to have to pay $30 for the new belt. I agreed to pay $30. Monday comes and goes, he doesn't show. No call, nothing. More time goes by and he calls me later in the week or the next week asking if I will be around on Wednesday. I tell him I'm only around on Mondays unless it's after 5, so he says can you leave it out. I tell him it's always out and that he can get to it in my backyard anytime. He says he'll be there Wednesday to fix it. Doesn't show. Doesn't call. I call him on Monday and he says he got the part on Saturday (What happened to the next day when he fixed it or last Wednesday when he was supposed to be there) and he would be here later Monday or first thing on Tuesday. Didn't show, didn't call. Wednesday I was about to call him and he calls and says I'll be there in a little while to get it done. Doesn't show. I was writing him a text to ask for a partial refund and to go our separate ways if he doesn't want to do it when he calls. This time I'm questioning why he would treat a customer like this. He's coming up with all the times and dates he guarantees he's going to be there and flaking out. He says it's raining and I don't have a covered area. A mobile lawnmower repairman in Vanouver, WA that doesn't have a plan for rain. I said I have a fully covered back patio which is 15 feet from my driveway and he says he would be too far away from his tools. I tell him this is the last time I'm giving him a chance to show up or I'm just calling it off. He agrees. He calls me at 6:45 this morning and tells me after reflecting on our conversation last night, he's gonna have to charge me more to put the belt on. I say how much again, he says as cheap as possible. I told him that wasn't good enough and he says $60. So I again let him know how I felt about him flaking 5 or 6 times, which he says he didn't flake. That this is a terrible way to run a business and forget it, I'll just buy a new mower. He then says I'll just refund you all your money, He'll send me a check in the mail cause I'm a piece of sh*t and hung up on me.

But after the last interaction yesterday, I will never consider buying anything here. Apparently it was too difficult to attempt to locate or order a 3-1/2" idler pulley for my 30 year old mower. I stopped in B/C I prefer face to face interaction and support of local businesses. The guy behind the counter, although he was nice, simply wouldn't even take 5 minutes to order a $30 pulley. The whole interaction was less than 45 seconds, barely looked at the part in my hand and told me to get it from Amazon and there was no way he could help, instead of pulling out the Oregon book he has behind the counter and flipping through some pages or trying to even see if they had anything close. Too bad, I was hoping to purchase a new machine this year from them with cash. Guess I'll find somewhere that isn't too lazy to help.

What the heck are they saying parts aren't available like for a Briggs & Straton mower engine? BS! they kept my $50 just to tell me that! On another small engine they gave it back with running but drive belt that was to be replaced was not replaced and to take back to have the belt replaced was more charge to do it. Right now, I am looking up a new small engine shop for my next repair shop. Enough of their Mexican scams and nonsense and lies. This kind of nonsense they can do by going back home to Mexico!

We called, dropped it off, got it back, and OMG, it looks and runs like a brand-new machine! (I wish I had a "before" photo, honestly, we had neglected it so badly it was ready for the scrap heap.) On top of that, Darling didn't charge an arm and a leg like most places do these days. This experience felt like stepping back into the 1950s, when people had what they called a work ethic. He's fair, honest, highly skilled, and personable. (and usually, only a 5-7 day turnaround). How does he do it?

It was put away as in rolled in and left to sit as is, no draining of gas, no wipe down, nothing. It had been replaced by a riding lawnmower. Today I have a son that just purchased his second home and needed a lawn mower for the new lawn. I thought of the Husky, but it was a poor sight at this moment. Dust, dirt, little oil, and plugged up fuel system. Started looking for a good repair shop, found reviews for Darling. It was located almost an hour & 1/2 from me. Decided to go anyway. Glad I did. Mike was on a service call at a customers home, so called him. He answered, we talked, I left my mower at his shop. I gathered that I should have called beforehand and also missed an online msg that he was semi-closed for a week or so. Despite all of this, he worked with me as if none of this happened or was important. Said no problem fixing the mower and gave me a very fast turnaround time, but I received an incredible turn around time with everything needing repair or replacement being done including a thorough cleaning on the outside. He is as all others have described. He helped me as if I had called first to make an appointment, and had waited until he was officially back to work, and was first in line. I wasn't any of these. Mike came across as an expert mechanic, friendly, concerned, and as what just about every reviewer describes him. Honest, reasonable, helpful, friendly etc..
