OH MY GOD TOM IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I'm not one for reviews but this guy deserves all the…read morebusiness in this town/ even if you're passing through. My partners alternator needed to be changed and nobody was available for the next 2 weeks and we're not from upstate we had to get back to Brooklyn by the nighttime and Tom was the only one who helped us even after his shop hours! He wanted to do everything he can to get us back to Brooklyn, after he switched the alternator for us, he also filled up our fluids just because he knew the long drive we were about to make he didn't want us getting stuck! He was the kindest man and probably has the best prices in this town, you wouldn't regret bringing your car to him. Other than fixing our problem he was a great person in general we got to know each other the few hours we were there and he is one amazing guy with such a sweet soul. I hope he gets all the business and support he deserves, also he has the cutest dogs so if you're a dog person you're in for a real treat lol

Ended up spending a few hours here awaiting my diagnosis and tow back home with staff, Including the owners, that couldn't be any more accommodating.

Not a doubt in my mind that I'd return again if I were in a pinch or someone I knew needed their help.

Not a good place for mower repairs and not good business practices overall…read more Visited with my machine and let them know what I needed. (Mower blade replacement and check battery - trouble starting) Was quoted a price/estimate and the rough ballpark of time it would take based on what I wanted to be serviced on my rider mower. Several additional things were offered or heavily encouraged during the "intake". I explained that I thought that I didn't need much, tractor was relatively new and ran fine and little to no hours of use on it. Gentlemen that did intake said something like - well we check everything or recommend oil change and such if we are going to put time or labor into it anyway. I asked for approx price of each service. He said they would call me with a specifics and a quote and exact details/prices and wouldn't do anything without my explicit consent. He did say it was busy season, that everyone was getting lawn equipment, machines, and snow removal equipment tuned up and ready or fixed and that it would take a week or 2 before mine would be looked at - because a few machines were ahead of me - absolutely fine. I explained that time frame worked fine - that I didn't need it right back that week or even 2, that I would actually be away for a week - so the timeline fit perfect for me. He also explained typical prices of each of the things he recommended and kind of blew it off saying under 100 or so or if not - not much more. Yea, none of it was true or close to accurate at all. A few weeks went by and I hadn't heard so I followed up and called. They said they would check on it and get back to me. later they called and said it hadn't been looked at yet!? I said how can that be - and he said well there is a note that said you would be away so we didn't start on it or even look at it. That's a huge fail. They also basically admitted (and I watched it happen with my own eyes) that they let regulars skip the line and backlog. So fine, I had to wait, not a deal breaker. They called back a week or 2 later with a quote of 600 dollars. I was blown away and confused? for blade replacements or sharpening? This can't be. Well they said when we looked at some of the stuff, they recommended (or already did the work without my authorization - like promised) that some of the pulleys and pieces were worn and they felt needed replacement. I specifically said I didn't want any extras or new battery or anything until I was given the prices. I went back to get my machine and asked to speak to manager about price. He took off an hour of labor and reduced price of some of the parts to help me. Now, the price of parts was double or triple what I can get them for at Lowe's or online, so I understand markup but that's just shady and inexcusable. Even with the doscount it was more than double or triple what I was planning and agreed to spend. Guy said it would be 100 or under 2 tops. They wanted me to pay $500 or 450 plus tax for me to get my mower back! It gets even worse: The mower was sitting outside in the snow and soaked and covered in ice and snow and it wouldn't start. I've never once in my life had this machine not in a garage or shed but apparently it had sat outside in the rain and snow and ice for the 6 weeks they had it. One of the reasons I brought it in was the battery/mower wouldn't start. They said that was solved - but then it wouldn't start when I came to pick it up and get it up on my trailer to leave. They called technician that apparent "did the work" to come assist or take care of it and he couldn't get it going so they had more guys come out and help. They were training him in front of me. Not a good look. I left, with my machine in worse condition then it arrived in, costed me $500, took many more weeks then promised, was subjected to rain, snow and ice with no covering, tarp or care and when I mowed a sample patch of lawn- the blades were so uneven, it left lines in my yard - not minor, like the deck and blades weren't leveled at all. Poor service. Cannot recommend. I would rather drive an hour away then support the local guy in town - and that's a shame - I had several other machines with needs - snowblower; other mower, etc, and they lost my business forever - and I will spread the word. Shame on you Max Wood

They were polite and courteous the whole time and didn't make me feel bad for being an idiot. Today, a snow storm dropped almost 2 feet of snow. I had trouble with my snowblower so I called them to pick it up since I couldn't bring it in. When he came to pick it up, he took a quick look at it and discovered the problem. A broken shear pin. He fixed it right away and didn't even have to take the machine back to his shop. Very helpful since this storm is likely to drop another 6-12 inches before it's done. I highly recommend Max S.

I left the car, even though he was vague about the cost,, "time and materials" he said,,,, the man called back before I expected and said it was done, He charged me 100 bucks, which is a little more than another garage quote. The shop isn't the cleanest, but good service makes USA ok in my book.
