Dropped off generator. Stopped by several time, call several times same story he has not help and can't get to it. Now he moved and it's been two years +. read more

Bobs Chainsaw is a scammer, DO Not Use this Guy. Dropped off my old vintage Johnsrude chainsaw which was in mint condition, only needed a tune up for high altitude mixture setting. Bob gave every excuse in the book as to not having done the work. I went back multiple times over a 1 year period to pick up my chain saw he never could find it so he lost my saw. He then stated its no longer at his shop but up at his property. He is scamming peoples equipment and keeping them probably for resale. He should be shut down, he knows its difficult to go to small claims court and difficult to prove he has your equipment. Bob Never returned any calls...terrible scammer. Should be a No Star Rating. read more

My father gave me his Stihl 032 that he bought in 1978. Took it to chainsaw Bob to get it started back at the end of September. I have stopped in five times and he's unable to find my chainsaw it is now June 15th 2023, no calls back, no saw. I would not taking another thing to this man. read more

Quick and supremely knowledgeable. I have tried others and Chainsaw Bob was the only place that fixed my chainsaw correctly.

Chainsaw Bob tells champion Power equipment he does warranty work bring it on down then he's not there doesn't leave a message on his phone that he's going somewhere else and when you call him saying can I leave the generator here at your place he doesn't return your call for an hour and a half Total loser With no respect for other people's time I think he just works enough to pay for his alcohol would be my guess. Do yourself a favor and find somebody else this guys a Washed up has been of a mechanic. read more

Likable guy but do not take your chainsaw there - might not ever see it again if you do, it's because you're bugging him over and over and over to get it back and it might not be right and it might not be your original saw read more

If I could leave negative "stars" I would! I took a neighbor's roto-tiller to him because it was leaking transmission oil. He said it would be ready in 2 weeks. When 2 weeks passed, I called and he said it needed a part and would be ready in another week. 2 more weeks go by and so I called again and was told they were working on it right now and it would be ready in 2 days. I called 2 days later and he said it was ready for pick up. Went in to the office (that was utter chaos!) and paid over $125 for it. When they took me to the tiller, I could see a puddle of oil underneath it! I made them open the oil reservoir and it was bone dry! They said to leave it and they would have it ready by the end of the week. When I returned it was still leaking oil "but not as much" according to them. I said to just give me the tiller so I could get out of there as it was my neighbor's tiller and I have absolutely no confidence that they could repair it and I didn't want it to disappear in to the sea of broken machines that surround the place! I wouldn't trust him to change the batteries in a flashlight. *Plus he's a raving Trumper!!!! Avoid him at all cost! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! read more

Similar to others. I left my chainsaw with Bob in December of 2020. Over the course of the last few years he found it twice. I never received a call that it was ready and both times by time I made it back in to check on things he had lost it again. Very nice guy. Knows chainsaws well. But very unorganized. I've given up on ever getting my chainsaw back read more

Chainsaw Bob lost my chainsaw (Conifer). I dropped my Husqvarna off with him in mid December to repair a throttle linkage to the trigger. He was to call me when ready. By mid March, not hearing from him, I stopped by to check on it. He said give him some more time to check on it. I again left my name and phone number. Two weeks later, I stopped by again. He said he needed more time, he asked for my number again. In April, I would stop in to check on it about once per week. Each time he said he needed a few more days. He then said he found it in another location and it was taken apart and needed more time. After checking again two more times, I realized that I was just getting put off each time I visited, and that he had no intension of returning it to me. I tired of getting the same run-a-round and gave up. In May I bought another chainsaw. read more

Worthless place to go. He changed us 100 dollars for tune up. Brought the saw home still had problems. Do not go here!!!

Had my chainsaw chain and some knives sharpened here. He did a great job! He's a pretty funny guy, too.

I stopped by last week after cutting a few trees as my Stihl 360 chainsaw was not consistently idling or cutting with power. The place has the appearance of organized chaos but the man knows chainsaws! Bob effortlessly adjusted the settings, tweaking the engine to a perfect hum and then sharpened my chain.....at a price that was fair. Could not be happier with the service and conscientious owner's attention to detail. read more

I have no idea how some folks have a good experience here. The lack of organization can be clearly seen. We brought a chainsaw in to be serviced in early December of 2020. Gave him a new bar and chain to put on at the same time. It was running okay, just losing power during the cut. We had 70 or 80 trees to take down and figured a quick tune-up would bring the saw back to 100%. Days turned into weeks. "We're working on yours next". "Found a gas leak. Waiting for parts". But, weeks turned into months. He lost the saw. Promised to get us a replacement, then found the saw. Then lost the saw again. I thought I was taking my saw to be serviced by a good old boy whose word was his bond, but not so. He still owes me a saw after 16 months. My saw has probably ended up in his personal collection. And of course, never got a receipt or copy of work order when dropping it off as they aren't that organized. "I don't forget a chain saw" is what he said. Meanwhile, I'm out easily 400 bucks. read more

I brought my Makita chainsaw to Bob more than a year ago. At first he said he was ordering parts. Then I stopped to pick it up and he couldn't find my saw. He told me he must have brought it home to work on it. He said he would call me when he found it at home and fixed it. No call. I stopped by again and he promised me he would go home and get it back to me. Whatever. I have called a half dozen times, and been to the property three times now. His place is a chainsaw graveyard! read more

What a great experience, the staff is very friendly and Bob is a wonderful man. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Chainsaw Bob has done me right each time I have brought my equipment to him. He has his own system for sure but he definitely knows his stuff. Not to mention he is a legend in the mountains as he has been helping all of our community for a long time!! read more

Saw wouldn't run after putting gas in it. Took it Chainsaw Bobs and when I met him I immediately thought "Jeremiah Johnson come to life". Told him and he said he never saw the movie, it took a little while to explain. Anyway takes my saw and the first thing he does is siphon out the gas. The cloudy, crappy, looking gas. He squirted some in a spot and lit it on fire. It only kinda burned. Put fresh fuel in it. Something called trufuel (he sells but said hardware stores carry it too) and it fired right up. Nothing wrong with the saw. He explained gas station gas goes bad after a few months at least as far as small engines are concerned. Told me to get rid of what I had left in the gas can. and Stick with true fuel small engine mixture 50:1 gas/oil. Its much more stable and will run better. But to always put in 2-cycle oil if getting from gas station. (I knew just saying it again) Didn't charge much for this. I was out in 25 minutes .Could have really screwed me and I wouldn't have known. I highly recommend. FYI hes a very colorful character, take it with a grain of salt he knows his shit real well. Accepts cash, credit, trades and barter. (think mountain man stuff) (Well we are in the mountains) tl:dr Jeremiah Johnson fixing chainsaws. Use good gas and save yourself a trip. read more

My Stihl MS 290, which is a discontinued saw, blew a bearing and melted the case and bar oil channel. I cracked it open and soon realized this was beyond my expertise. At first glance, it did not seem salvageable. Although it took 2 or 3 weeks, Bob was able to locate another saw of the same Model and come out the other end with a working saw at a reasonable price. He was very aware that the price needed to be well under a new saw, he even threw in my 2 chains, sharpened for free. These guys will take care of you or tell you your saw is not worth working on. One note, they prefer checks / cash and do not like the extra charges from Credit Cards. read more

So I need to update my review. I'm happy to report we have our machine back. Bob was able to get the work completed and we thought it was reasonably priced. I'm glad we didn't have to go down the hill as I like to support local businesses. I trust his work will be good and he did some extra fix up work on the machine. The main problem was that we needed the machine and it took a long time to get it back. read more

Hack! Do not bring your stuff here. Unprofessional, disorganized, overpriced. Good luck getting your stuff back. It is unfortunate that this is one of your only choices up here for small engine repair. read more

Bob is great. He may not be flashy or super organized, but he knows his stuff, has the parts and will sharpen a chain better than anyone else around. He's a bit gruff, so if you can't take a bit of ribbin or criticism you may want to go to home depot. Will take care of you. read more
