I have a 22 year old Honda lawnmower that was sorely in need of attention. No longer the one pull…read morestart darling it had been for years. And for some reason, it kept blowing the air cleaner cover off. I called Mr. Raine and described my issues. He assured me he could fix it. I hopped in my truck and drove up to his home shop in Leander. He greeted me right away and told me you can pick it up later today. Sure enough, he was true to his word. When I arrived, he described what he did to the lawnmower. Replacing the carburetor, sharpening the blades, draining the fuel tank. An overall check up. I cut my grass yesterday. With absolutely no issues. He did recommend that I replace the blade. And of course Amazon had something delivered the next day. Honda makes such a great product and it's rare in this day and age when something can actually be repaired. Mr. Raine is a solid, stand-up guy. True to his word. And he even gave me a guarantee/warranty till the end of the year. Said if anything comes up, just bring it back and we'll get you fixed up. I had previously tried a neighborhood lawn mower repair shop. It was money down the drain. If you have any issues with your lawnmower. Give Mr. Raine a call. He will get you set up. With a smile and a generous, genuine attitude. He's a solid dude.

The other replied, "Tiiiiimmmber!" I was looking for a great place to have my chainsaw lawn mower and generator service now that I live in town and I found my place. I have gone to other places recently and they have told me that it would take them three weeks just to look at my items I called here and was seen the same day. I had to get my chainsaw serviced because the chain slipped off and I even was missing a bolt when I brought it in. They went and got me a bolt and fixed my chain for me and now I am back in action. It looks like you can bring everything here except for automobiles and that is a wide range. I know that you will get good service as I did and now you and I get to enjoy a great repair shop together.

My Cub Cadet riding mower needed service. I found A Line was an authorized dealer and serviced the…read moreCub Cadet line of products. There website did not suggest you had to have an appointment so I loaded up the mower and drove a half hour, arriving around 4:30 PM on a Thursday. There were three or four cars in the parking lot and no noticeable service bay entrance. I called to make sure I was in the right place for Cub Cadet riding mower service and that they were actually open for business. A guy answered and explained they would open the back receiving door after I came in to their service/sales counter. Great, open and in the right place! As soon as I walked in, with no other customers in the large showroom, a gentleman behind the counter asked how he could help. I caught the eye of other guy I must have spoken with a few minutes before and I said something to the effect "I just called and need to drop off my riding mower for service." The older guy immediately said they could not take my mower in today. I asked him if they serviced Cub Cadet riding mowers and he said they did but they could not take it. I was puzzled by his response yet he did not give me any additional information. I hesitated for a minute, then turned to walk out. As I pushed the door open, he finally added that if someone picked up their mower, they could take another one in. WTF? Sounds like they need to update their website to recommend calling first, or submitting a service ticket on line. This was a terrible example of customer service. Is their service attitude an indicator of why their showroom was void of customers? Do they rely heavily on fleet sales and service? Commercial accounts? I don't know. What I do know is I was sincerely disappointed with the first impression from the guy at the counter. I have owned four riding mowers so far (yes, I'm old) and I guarantee this will be the last Cub Cadet. I'm sure they don't care.

10 OUT OF 10!!!...will wander again. :-D…read more Absolutely blown away. Hill Country Water Gardens isn't just a nursery...it's a full-blown botanical mini-adventure. It's the kind of place where you come for a plant and end up staying for the vibes. Think of it as a garden center meets a peaceful mini outdoor museum. Everything is beautifully organized by plant type, making it easy to find what you're looking for...or, more likely, making it easy to get joyfully distracted while you wander. There are cozy benches for daydreaming, koi ponds full of personality, colorful lily pads that pop out and wave at you, and the kind of friendly staff that actually makes you want to ask questions. Inspiration? It's everywhere. From the water features, to the whimsical sculptures, to lush displays that make you rethink your whole gardening vision. There are restrooms if nature calls, and there are plenty of delightful garden goodies to buy/take home. It's rare to find a place that feeds your inner gardener, your creative soul, and your serotonin all at once...but somehow, this place pulls it off. I'm so glad it exists.

Hill Country Water Gardens and Nursery is located on 183 local (Bell Blvd) a smidge north of the…read moreWhitestone intersection. The place is organized into a few sections. There are statues, fountains, and water-dwelling plants. Koi fish and gold fish are available in different sizes and colors. They have potted trees with tags that indicate hardiness in different weather conditions. Herbs and other edible plants have their own section in front of the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse you can find indoor plants. It's a pretty nice place to walk around and explore. There's not too much shade there, however. The rectangular ponds holding the water lilies also attract dragonflies that zip around there, so it's a nice place to watch them.

It is one of those rough-and-tumble serious cowboy-gear-fixing shops, and here I saunter in with some cutesy narrow high heels. Nonetheless, they got the job done right quick, in a matter of two days. Original cost for heel repair is $12.50 but because I had brought in 4 pairs, he discounted it to $10 a pair. I've heard of other shoe repair shops that charge less, but I figured the cost of driving to Round Rock to save $2/pair wasn't worth it. All in all, good quick job, decent prices, pretty helpful service. It does in a pinch, but like I said my job request was rather simple & straightforward.

After almost 2 months I got my briefcase back with the ugliest leather patch imagineable on it and they said they couldn't emboss it because their tools were too old.

After looking at it for a while when I got home, I decided the patch is just too ugly and is ruining my nice briefcase so I ripped off the hideous patch and I plan to return to Capitol Saddlery next week to have them cover up the shoe shop's horrible work. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff!
