Very shady illegal immigrant invader Mexican shop. After…read moretaking small engine things to this shop many times, I am told parts aren't available and they keep the $50 deposit required just to look at anything you bring to the shop. Every motor power tool chain saws & lawn mower I took to them they said parts aren't available but after their nonsense telling parts aren't available, I found the parts myself my internet search. The chainsaw I called the brand maker customer services which got me the part not a problem at all. One Lawn mower I was told no parts I found the part by search of the internet for Briggs and Straton engine of the same size. 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!

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.

My friends showed up, broke my chainsaws after a few minutes and left...sigh... Fast forward to when I am doing far better. It took a while longer but I was able to get my saws here. Turns out they also added a clog to my oil hold. They got the saws cleared, the chains reattached and even tested them out so fast. It was amazing and I am so grateful. Now I have to wait for the weather to get a touch warmer so I can trim the trees. The new location is even better too - so much more space. These folks really sell some of the hardcore saws and such but knowing that they are also there to help out those of us with much smaller needs. To them it is no big deal but to me it is everything having a pro service these and I am so glad to have a great local spot so close to home I can rely on.

The new owner is "Eric" - he seems decent enough, but is very down on his luck. I've had good service at this shop before, but over the past year, things have declined significantly. Dropped off a pole saw to have repaired last August. Never got a call for over six months. Business phone number 503-287-6610 is disconnected. Finally, I went there to inquire. Found out Eric was on the verge of forclosure. Orders stacked up; my pole saw was "lost and in storage". Eric promised to call soon, but he never does. Not the first time. The place is a mess: completely disorganized and in despair. Seems sketchy and junky now. I hate to see a good shop and business decay, but feel it is my duty to warn others: DON'T COME HERE EXPECTING YOUR REPAIR TO BE SERVICED RIGHT. You've been warned.

We were also looking for attachments for our edger, namely a weed eater because our old one needs upgrading. Like most places, they were out if stock and unsure when they would get any in. Kind of a bummer, but seems to be common nowadays. We ended up purchasing a tune-up kit for the edger too. It's been a few years since we've used it and thought it was about time. Overall a decent experience. Not sure it will be our go-to place as there's another Stihl dealer closer to our house. We originally picked this location because of the positive reviews on Google, but we didn't get the same feeling.
