They also sell all sorts of stationary and you can rent a work area for when you can't take your home office anymore. When you go there you bump into people you know and you make new friends with people you don't yet know. Very compliant observance of indoor COVID protocols so I think you can feel very comfortable going in person.

Sure, for rentals they are a monopoly, but I appreciate the fact they are here on the island. They…read moredo a great job and are reasonably priced. I needed part for my lawn tractor, they didn't have it, looked up the part number, told me what it would cost, how long it would take to get and said you might be able to get it cheaper if you order it yourself. Love these guys.

Another monopoly, but they do a good job. Lots of equipment to rent, like boom lifts, and bobcats…read more Also sharpen blades on mowers and chainsaws. Will service them too.

Let me tell you a story about how Seth saved me from a dumb dad move and thereby saved my weekend -…read more Busy weekend out on the island with the fam, lots of hustle and bustle - in the midst of a couple days where it feels like nothing is going quite right on the family front. Looking to turn things around, I decide to install the kid seat on the back of my wife's bike for our 2 y.o. so we can do the ol' family bike ride (that'll fix it!). In a moment of overzealousness though, I give that over-tight, cheap screw in the back of her bike a turn-too-many with the allen wrench: it's stripped, but maybe salvageable. But what do I do? I think, "I can still get it...." So I jump back in there: cheap screw vs. cheap allen wrench, and I send that screw straight to The Land of No Return. It's never coming out now. Enter Seth and Meat Machine. Now, mind you, I had already been down there the day before - or my wife had - for another bike-related issue (I told you - it was that kind of weekend). So, I limp in there, figuratively speaking, and in my shame I present El Strippo to Seth. What does he do? He doesn't make my feel bad. He doesn't hesitate. Immediately, almost un-questioningly, he throws that bad boy up on the lift. He explains that this is not going to be easy and expresses concern that he'll break the head off the screw and then it's done (the seat is never going on in that case). He tries one expensive hex after another. No dice. Last resort: he busts out the blow torch. "Let's put a little heat on it." And he does, and, like magic, that baby starts to move! With the turning of the screw, hearts lift, hope returns - the screw it out. The day - the family bike ride - is saved. No charge. I headed outside and, literally, the clouds cleared (though I'm not sure I credit Seth with that one). But he and Meat Machine did save the day, no doubt. Great little shop. Friendly helpful guys. Very grateful to them! Thank you!!

We had a great time e-biking around the island (saw Orcas! a fox! deer! cows! visited a lavendar…read morefarm!), and the process of getting bikes from Meat Machine was flawless. Thanks for providing great bikes, helmets and locks. Easy to reserve online and to pedal away/return. Thanks!
