If you are calling JJ, check your ego at the door. JJ thinks you are an idiot. You don't take care of your tools. He thinks you put crappy gas in your mower. He knows you didn't run the tank to full empty before storing for the winter. Your grass is too high and when you pick it up, later you're going to cut it on low and kill the grass and your motor. That even assumes you pick it up; he bets you will never show up again and he'll just spend time and labor and have to scrap the mower two years later. He thinks your weed wacker is a piece of crap. And he's probably right. I know because his garage is full of mowers and weed wackers. And they all suffer from this lack of caring for your tools. But you should go to JJ because he will fix your mower, clean it and make it like new, do it quickly, and charge you next to nothing. And JJ is a cool guy. You will consider breaking your mower again just so you can listen to JJ complain about his customers. Thank you, JJ. read more

whoever is running this facility he is very mean to customer. when i call this guy that my friend would bring mower to repair he aggressively asked me why didn't he call me either and cut the phone. I hadn't expected that rude behaviour to customer. not recommended for anyone read more

Did a great job for me. A Pittsburgh guy, kept things simple and went above and beyond to fix my lawnmower, read more

I just happened to find JJ during an online search. Glad to have found him. Had him work on my McClane front throw that another shop said they could not not do anything more with and said a new motor was in my future. JJ and his son (?) worked on it and, voila it runs like new and the best it's ever run despite what the other shop was suggesting. What I liked is that he eliminated all the variables. I've seen the comments about how he thinks you're an idiot etc. For me, I appreciated him considering and ruling out the variables in order to fix what was wrong. I did not feel like he was being condescending, just thorough. I will definitely utilize his services again. Dave M. read more

JJ is awesome! I had a minor lawn mower repair. Gave him a call, and he took care of me that day. He had it done within a few hours. He even took extra time to sharpen the blade, clean it, and check other maintenance items. It looked brand new when it was done. In fact, he even gave me some tips to improve the longevity of the equipment. He really went above, and beyond! I really appreciated it, and 100% recommend JJ! read more

JJ-Lawn Mower Repair - Finished repaired lawn mower - Outdoor Power Equipment Services Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

After cutting 400 lawns over 3 years, the self-propel function on my Honda mower died. And pushing around an 84 pound mower at my age is exhausting. Thankfully, I found JJ online and, in 3 days, he got it running like the day I bought it. And he did it at a fair price. Highly recommend JJ for mower repair & tuneups. read more

I needed my lawnmower fixed on Labor Day weekend. It just wouldn't start and I tried several ways to fix it myself, all to no avail. I called around to several reputable repair services only to be told that they would need 3-5 days to look at my mower. I saw JJ on Yelp and gave him a call. Not only was he a nice guy, but he offered to see my mower that day, within the hour. I drove on over to have him take a look. He does all his repairs right in his backyard out of a toolshed, but he had my mower up & running, as well as cleaned and blade sharpened, within an hour. It's like he had X-ray vision and new right away what was wrong. Cost was only $35 which included diagnosing & fixing the problem, cleaning dirt and grass from the mower, sharpening the blade on his grindstone, and re-welding a bolt that had come loose. Considering that he was able to see me within the hour, and fix my mower same day, I think his price was reasonable and he's really just a pleasant guy to deal with. You can tell that he really love fixing mowers. Highly recommended service at a reasonable price. read more

JJ was very helpful. Nice guy with some funny stories. I will definitely go back to him if I have any more issues.

JJ is a rare find. I only met him once but I could tell right from the start that he was trustworthy and was going to do a good job fixing my lawnmower. And he didn't disappoint. In fact, he exceeded my expectations. He orginally told me it might take a couple days to finish but it ended up taking him only one afternoon. I got my lawnmower back and was cutting grass that same day. Along with the speedy service, he explained to me what might be wrong and what he was going to do to fix it. And he did just that. No BS. No tricks. No upselling. All this at a reasonable price. You can't ask for much more in a lawnmower repair. I would definitely recommend him. I just wish all businesses were as honest and forthcoming as JJ. read more

J J came through when others failed me! He is honest, as in he told me not to waste $ on one of my mowers and concentrate on getting a newer model running first. I had my mower back the next day and I now have no excuse to avoid attacking my overgrown lawn! read more

I just had my first repair with JJ and I won't go anywhere else again. I bought a snowblower on Craigslist that wouldn't run and he had it running in 1 day for $45. It would have been 3 weeks and and $135 at any of the small engine repair shops in the area. Not to mention he offered me a beer when I came to pick it up and we BS'd for half an hour. The nicest most honest guy you'll find read more

I used JJ for cleaning the gas line on my lawnmower for years - putting up with his BS just to pacify him. But he did do a good job UNTIL RECENTLY. The time before this last time he cleaned the line but when I got it home it still would not start. He said to being it in again and he did clean the line while I waited and it started for me when I got home. But this last time - A DIFFERENT STORY. Again he cleaned the line but again when I got it home it would not start. But when I called him this time he would not let me bring it in again. AND HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME A REFUND - even though I had given him an additional $10 over the usual $40 like he usually charged. THIS GUY IS A NUT CASE AND A DRUNK. YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH JJ YOU ARE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH. NOT WORTH PUTTING UP WITH HIS BS AND UNPROFESSIONALISM. HE HAS SERIOUS ISSUES WHICH SHOULD NOT BECOME THE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH. So I took my lawn mower to the lawn mower repair shop run by the 2 brothers in Bridgeville - very pleasant to do business with and they are true professionals. Cleaned the gas line for a reasonable price and picked it up the next day - and never had an issue with the lawn mower since them. MY RECOMMENDATION: AVOID JJ. read more

Fair and reasonablly priced. JJ is a good guy and very knowledgable when it comes to repairs. I would highly recommend.

I can't recommend JJ Lawnmower Repair highly enough. My lawnmower was in bad shape. He completely fixed it for a LOW price, cleaned it, replaced missing or broken parts (the pull handle had broken the first time I used it, and he replaced it) and I swear he topped off the gas as well. It's basically like having a new lawnmower. read more

JJ was able to repair a lawnmower for me that a couple of other people said was unrepairable. He completely fixed the frame, gave me a great tune up, and sharpened the blades for probably the most perfect cut I've ever had on my lawn. I won't go to anyone else to touch my mower from here on out as JJ is as good as it gets. read more

Excellent service. My weedwacker would not start so I called JJ (his business was the first that popped up on google). He was very straightforward, after asking a few questions about the model/etc he told me to bring it over and had it fixed in 10 minutes. Very fair price and a nice guy. Would definitely recommend and will certainly go back (but hopefully I don't have to). read more

JJ! The kind of repair shop my dad used to go to. Fair, fast, honest, abs friendly. Almost want my mower to go belly up again!

Super guy, honest and fast, reasonable prices. Fixed my mower while I waited. Highly recommend!

I called JJ requesting a tune up and dropped it off and picked it up all on the same day. My mower just needed a basic tune up with a blade sharpening and oil change. Very reasonable rate and JJ was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend his service for your mower tune up. read more

Good guy. Does it in his dingy little backyard. He left the mowers out and it rained overnight so I wasn't terribly pleased by that and when I took it home it did not start. So I brought it back. He took it apart right away, cleaned up the insides again and we discovered that the smoke was from also needing a new oil filter. So he put a new one on and didn't charge anything extra for having to bring it back and change filter. I did not run my gas mower empty from the year before so I think it was backed up. But for 60 bucks that sucker has ran nice and clean this summer. JJ will work with you as to when you can bring it in and out and is pretty honest and fair with pricing. Highly recommended. read more

My JD LA115 just died. Was running fine then wouldn't even turn over. Figured it was electrical and I hate that. Brought the tractor to JJ and he found two shorts and had it running in 15 minutes. An hour later the tractor was cleaned and the tires were all aired up. Happily gave JJ $40 bucks (instead of the 35 he asked for). JJ is a great guy. Very happy to have had the opportunity to talk with him, and he does great work at a great price. read more

I wish I could give a negative star! I just came back from from his house on Norabell ave and it was probably the worst experience I've ever had with an online repair man. So I get to his house and he tells me to go around the block because there was someone behind me and I was blocking the road. He says when I come back he should have an idea on how much it will cost to fix. So I do that and I come back to see that he poured a gallon of gas in my mower and it was leaking all over the place. What professional pours a gallon of gas in a mower for a test fire? What professional doesn't check for leaks before he dumps the gas in a lot more crazy stuff happened from the huge gas leak to when I had to drive home in 31 degree weather with the windows down because I didn't want to choke on gas fumes. I come home and I clearly see that the gas line has been cut! The most screwed up thing was that it worked fine last week! no gas leak at all! all I came there for is a tuneup! He's not that good with older mowers read more

Can not recommend highly enough! Motor needed a belt - he had 1 on site and replaced it. Sharpened the blade, adjusted the carburetor, pressured wash the mower, lubricated the front wheel drive starting mechanism. All this was done within 45 minutes while I waited. $40 bucks! read more

JJ has had 2 of my mowers for over three months I have called several times and left messages he does not return phone call. Beware about leaving your mower with JJ read more

bent a crank shaft, promised for over 2 months to fix it, never happened, told him i'm sick of waiting, he refused to put it back together and basically ruined my lawn mower. do not trust this guy!! read more

After reading reviews, I decided to give this guy a try. Boy, did I learn a valuable lesson. After he admitted that he could fix my lawn-mower engine, he admitted to me that he had to watch a you-tube video to make the repair. Not only did he watch he video to do the repair, but he also admitted that he installed the part incorrectly and needed to order another part, thus delaying getting my tractor back. I ended up paying him for his time to WATCH THE VIDEO. When I got the mower home and used it the first time. it developed a bad leak. Found out that he used the same old seal in the crankshaft instead of replacing it with a new one ($2 part). I ended up having to not only take my time but my son's time also not once but twice to get my mower fixed. I should have taken it to Dobosh Center in the first place. He cost me more than Dobosh. when he quoted me the price, it was cheaper that Dobosh but it ended up being more and he would not refund and deduct anything from the price. Very unprofessional, he just walked away like a COWARD and does not have the integrity to want to make it right. Very poor attitude and then he acted like he was doing me a favor. Big fat lie. Don't trust him unless you have something small and simple. I will NOT use him every again and will discourage anyone from using him also. I was very unhappy and not satisfied with his work. What a waste of my time and money. Through the whole process, I lost over 3 weeks to cut my lawn (over an acre). Very poor business ethics. read more
