I've been bringing in broken equipment and it's working out great for me! They're going to fix all my broken stuff, lawnmower next. Nice people working, they know their stuff. I am grateful this business is IN business. read more

I bought a brand spanking new echo blower from them and it works so so good and it made my job song. Thanks,

I found them when I was searching for Stihl Chainsaw bars. I contacted their Florida location and spoke with Quang. He was very helpful. I placed the order online and follow up emails began immediately. The order was shipped promptly...with no problems. I've ordered from them again and received the same terrific service. Buy here with confidence. -Mike M. read more

This is the worst business I have ever dealt with. They list items as in stock when in reality they do not have any in stock. They Say they will give you a refund but never do. Scammers, liars and thieves. read more

Excellent knowledge and fast work. Very pleased. Fixed my chainsaw for me. Great place for shopping, too.

They couldn't repair my generator and they returned it with missing pieces. Apparently they miss placed them. It seem the front desk and mechanics don't have good communication. read more

I was in today to have two tree clippers sharpened. They did it about 20 minutes & charged $20. I thought that was fair. This is my original review: I've been there 3 times. 1) I brought in my old lawn mower. They said it needed a transmission & it wasn't worth repairing. I had them take the old transmission out, I use it as a push mower with powered cutting blades. 2) I brought in a chain saw. They sharpened & adjusted it for $17. I thought that was a good price. 3) Yesterday I returned the same saw. The chain was dull again. My fault. I told them what I was doing. The gal recommended a better quality chain. They replaced the chain & adjusted something. I waited 15-20 minutes & paid $50+. It seemed fair. read more

Great service and very honest. Only problem with parking is difficult by business. Highly recommend!

I called in the morning for a replacement belt after visiting the Fairfield location. Fairfield wouldn't even call over to check if the part was in El Cerrito. I had to call myself. Long story short, I walk in, the lady looks at me and asked if I'm here for the belt and had it ready to go! Awesome customer service!!! read more

Always solid repairs, They know what they're doing. I need a mower carb. He took the time to show me how to find the correct part. And they had it read more

Single cylinder repair "SPIES" on their customers and just lost a $500 sale. let me start by saying I'm a black man. I was the only customer in the store at that time. I've done business on several occasions with no problems , this time I went there to buy a leaf blower , the leaf blowers are in the back of the store. Rather than ask me do i have any questions or do i need any help. Two staff member came to the back aisle just to see if i was stealing , they were just staring (never said a word). this behavior made my skin crawl I left the store never to return again read more

Friendly and polite service. They had exactly what I was looking for, at the same price as online but without shipping. And they filled my new generator with fuel and oil and loaded it into my car. Definitely coming back for any single cylinder needs. read more

I ordered two belts for my California trimmer and some backlap compound. I received the two belts and nothing else. I emailed and talked to the owner with no success. At this point I can confidential say, this company STOLE MY MONEY! Straight up lied to me and will not give me an update. It's been 6-8 weeks. I guess I will try to get reimbursed by my credit card company for this BS transaction. The shipping was 30$ for a small package. Absolutely ridiculous! Needless to say, NOT RECOMMENDED! read more

Brought in an almost new Echo chainsaw, bar sprocket locked (defective). They replaced chain and bar for 80$ (new price of this is 39$). They didn't try to warranty. Purchased at Home Depot, who were going to just return it and give me another. After complaint, they warrantied bar. Took me multiple trips. They threw away my chain, which I wanted either way. Regret ever spending money here. read more

Amazing service and people that actually know the product and are extremely knowledgeable

Well this is the last time I will be going to this Place!!! I had taken my lawn mower in , which Mind you it was only a year old from Honda, got charged for bad gas and and a spark plug Changed , then when I got home only to find the grass bag was missing, came in with one left out without one!! So I had to come out my pocket over one hundred dollars.so then I bought in a friends generator to them,now he wants$ 35.00 to look at the unit!! So then I said can you just apply it to the repair.but he then thought about it and said they want it up front You see they will treat a consumer that way when they don't have a high volume business dealings with them. I was not charged a deposit when I bought the lawn mower in.so he said oh I forgot! Yeah Right!! Well I will forget about bring my business too you. read more

I've been coming here for around 15 years. I knew there was something special about this place when I saw a line of professional landscapers stretching out the door. They have all kinds of pro tools from Husqvarna, Honda, Sthil, etc. that you won't find at a big box store. l After my crappy Home Depot purchased line trimer literally melted, I came here and got a Kawasaki. It's been going strong ever since. read more

They were just professional as well as humorous with positive attitude it was enjoyable doing business with them

This is a local and family owned business that has always served my needs well. I recently took a Honda generator in, they serviced it got it up and running again and did it very quickly. I've used them in the past years back and had a similarly good experience. read more

I drive my equiptment seven hours each way from the high sierra to have it serviced here. I trust their work with my chainsaws and all small engine repairs. They are fast, communicative, and well priced. They are also good people. read more

I brought a small chainsaw to this awesome family owned business and not only did I get it repaired but I got an education along the way. Clearly the patriarchal owner knew his stuff: showed me how to operate the chainsaw, made suggestions about how I could keep it running properly, and sold me exactly what I needed - no less no more. What a joy and a privilege to go to a family owned small business in this day of giant heartless box stores. read more

These guys know what they're doing. A wide inventory of parts for Briggs/Honda/Kawasaki motors and a decent lineup of higher-end power equipment - not the throw-away crap found at Home Depot or Wal-Mart. Their prices are almost the same as a few online vendors - I've been coming in for parts to get a old Briggs powered roto-tiller to run. Unlike the rednecks at another place in Rodeo, these guys have been helpful for me and their inventory is fresh - not NOS. read more

I have a local business with a lot of small equipment. Been using these guys for 15 years, a few (or more) times a year. They really know their shit. Often small engine places don't. A couple of times they've told me stuff that I didn't agree with, so I figure out why. They've been right each time. Also good on price. I buy my equipment there now though Home Depot sometimes has stuff on sale a bit cheaper. I buy from these guys, they handle it. We know what HD does. Ain't worth it. read more

Here is the story On a Tuesday I discovered that the two 1000K generators we ordered for an event would not arrive on time for a Friday event On a Wednesday, I called and spoke with Trang about my need to rent two small 1000w generators for an event I was hosting on Friday. He said that he had the items in stock. I offered a credit card to pay and hold them. Trang said - no need to, he had plenty of them in stock. On Friday - they day of the event, spoke with Trang. He did not have the two generators in stock and had to call around. He found a supplier that wanted 2X the value of each generator as a deposit. The value of at 1000W generator to purchase is 250 dollars, and the deposit of one generator wanted was $800 dollars each. ( That would have been $1600 bucks for two generators not including the rental fee and taxes. Frustrated as Hell. - I went to Cresco Xpress in Montclair. They took care of me and the event was super. Shame on you Single Cylinder Repair - so much for trying to stay small - local. J. read more

These guys... they're busy and the go to place for repair on landscaping equipment so I took my basic weed eater to them they said they'd call in a day or two, I never got a call so I went by. The trimmer was ready, so I payed them $93 ($35 deposit and $48 on completion) all good. When I asked what they did they told me they changed the plug and a gas line. I got it home and it won't start. These guys not only overcharged me but didn't fix my weedeater. I'm bummed. I feel like they got over on me. Super disappointed, won't recommend won't go back. read more

I have been going to Trung's Single Cylinder Engine Repair shortly after he opened his shop in 1999. I have never had a problem with any of their work. They have worked on my 8hp Troybilt rototiller, Stihl chain saw, Echo weedwacker, Still gas powered hedge trimmer, plus 5 lawnmowers that I have at rental properties and I have been so pleased with his employees. It is nice to have his daughter there also. Just picked-up my Echo weedwacker, Stilh hedge trimmer and my church's weedwacker. Best place to go to purchase quality equipment and get quality repairs.

My husband and I went into this place to have a tool repaired. I have never been treated so badly. We ended up leaving. Tried calling to complain but they would never answer their phone. I recommend you shop somewhere else. read more

I recently had Single Cylinder Repair service my old chainsaws. It's been 30+ years since I retired from this sort of work and last used them, so not only am I old, but they are too! The counter persons were efficient and professional. After getting the saws back, I began a job of trimming and felling a number of trees that overhang my house but the saws didn't start and run easily. Not sure if it was me or the equipment that was out of shape, and feeling very frustrated, I took them back to have them checked out. It was the end of the day and looked like they were about to close and I asked if someone could look them over and give me a bit of coaching. One of the employees, Diep, immediately offered to help, spotting some silly errors on my part, making some minor adjustments and walking me through the best procedures. All in a thorough, conscientious and friendly manner. Thank you, much appreciated, Diep! This is the sort of employee and general service attitude that makes a business worth patronizing. read more

I had a chipper and shredder that stopped in the middle of running. that is generally is not a fuel supply problem if it stopped suddenly. While I had this issue I thought I'd bring my small chainsaw there as well I called up after a $70 bill to check them out and they said both carburetors were bad and the wheel was off. They wanted $250 to replace (why not rebuild) the carburetor on the chipper. Something seemed off. I could buy a decent carb online for 30 to $50 and it's a 10-minute job on a 1 cylinder engine.they said the chainsaw will cost $150 a pair and was not worth it. I decided to come back and pick it up as I could buy a cheap carb and not being a mechanic can install one very quickly as there's nothing to it. When I got it I asked them to re-inflate the tire as it did not come there with it off and they said they didn't know how to re-inflate it unless I pay them $25 per tire to put a tube in it and inflate it. That's more than I pay for a giant car tire in a shop. I took it home used a strap to pressurize the tire and inflated it immediately. $50 saved. How come they didn't know how to do that? I then noticed the fuel line was on the off position for the fuel supply turned it on and crank over the engine after putting more gas in it and it started right up! it runs perfectly so clearly they didn't even check it and we're just going to charge me to put a new carburetor in without even giving any attention as a mechanic to see if they could fix the problem. It is a very clean neat and well organized business. they are there for one purpose only to make as much money in the shortest time possible. I'm sure I'll be able to fix my chainsaw with a $12 peace as well. I will now at least take a look at it since clearly they didn't. The reason they don't have one star is their kids were nice. And they were polite. However that is despicable business practices to not even check the machine that actually ended up running perfectly without needing a new carb. Happy to pay the money and if I'm not it's fair to at least charge what you like for it if it's something that's needed. I have to agree with the other one star reviews unfortunately read more

Very helpful when I needed a generator pronto for my elderly parents. They filled the gas and oil tanks and showed me how to get it going before I set off. This is the kind of service that builds a strong community. Grateful. read more

Well, I formerly liked this business, and bought my gas leaf blower from them. However, my 3-year old blower overheated and stopped running the other day, and I was afraid that I might not have remembered to put the oil in and killed it, so I took it to them for service. I did mention that I might've forgotten to put the oil in. I am a blonde older woman. Unfortunately, I think that has a lot to do with the service I got. I got a call from them saying that my blower was history. That it would either cost $175 to repair, or I should just buy a new one. When I picked it up, they asked for a $30 check up fee, and suggested that I must have run it out of oil, because the pistons were channeled. I agreed to pay $20 for the check up fee. Unfortunately, at this point I think they really didn't open it up to check it at all, so I shouldn't have even paid that. I have a handy boyfriend, so I brought it to him instead. He was able to get it running by just yanking on the pull cord many many times, and he thinks that probably it had just gotten overheated and airlocked. Yesterday, I used the blower very heavy duty job, for 45 minutes, and it worked just fine. The really sad part is that, if I had paid for a new blower & let them keep my old blower, they could have sold it pretty much as is, as a reconditioned blower. And messed me over twice. Luckily, I'm not stupid. As most blonde women aren't! Note: a month later, the blower's still working just fine! read more

We made a 30 min drive to this shop because closer options were sucky and Yelp reviews were so favorable. I'm really impressed! Service was quick, knowledgeable and friendly. Shop was super clean and had a great selection. I wish more small businesses ran their operations with the same standards. read more

This is a great place. Brought in my mower had no clue what was wrong with it and right away Troung the owner knew what was wrong and so i left it there for couple days and when i got it back it worked like brand new. And prices were really inexpensive i even purchased a new echo chainsaw from them at a great price. Overall great service, very knowlegable people, and great prices. read more

Hard to believe it is the same place when others say the service is not so great. Yes, english is a second language here, but they certainly try to help you out. Yes, they are a business, and I'm sure they would like to sell equipment too, and they carry all the good brands, but they service it well. I've been going here for 10 years or so, and they treat me well, try to get the the next customer, (yes they get crowded) and all in all, can't think of a place I'd rather take the gas machines, (I've got about a dozen that I bring here). They may not be the cheapest, but the machines RUN well afterwards. I've got an old Stihl weedeater that the original Stihl dealer could never keep running. I changed and started bringing it here before they were a dealer. It is probably 30 years old now and still runs great. paul read more

Wow. Stay away from these creeps. I called the shop to see if they would show me how to properly start the chainsaw I inherited from my dad. It was stored correctly with all fluids drained and kept in a clean dry place. Anyway, the owner told me over the phone that he'd show me how to start it. I thought "great! What nice service!" So I drove (from Oakland) to the shop and waited at the counter for the guy (owner?) to get to me. There were no other customers in the place. I waited ten minutes or so and a customer came in used the bathroom and was bumped ahead of me. Hmmph. Pretty rude but maybe there was an excuse. Finally a guy from the back gets to me and wants me to leave the saw for a couple of days. I told him I just wanted to get a tutorial on starting the saw which seemed to irritate him. I offered to pay for the 10 or 15 minutes of time this might take and he then told me the saw was not going to work. He hadn't touched the saw yet so I asked what was so obviously wrong with it that he could diagnose it so quickly. He then grabbed the saw, dumped a cupful of gas/oil mix into it and yanked away at the pull rope until it was flooded. Gas dripping out of the sparkplug hole. He said "see I told you. Look it's leaking fuel." I said it seemed to be flooded and asked if he had a plug wrench. He said there was no point since the plug probably wouldn't come out anyway. Odd response because he then tried to sell me a replacement plug. He then said "Maybe you want to buy a new saw." they have nice saws there (all around $400) but I already have a saw and I don't think it is junk. The main part of my beef with this place is that they have crappy, offhanded customer service, and worse they are crappy at diagnostics. I did not witness good diagnostic procedure at any point in my dealing with them. I also had the feeling that they were trying to push me into buying something I didn't need. Maybe I'll just check out a saw from the tool lending library in the Temescal instead. read more

Super helpful people. They found a used replacement coil for my decades-old lawnmower, saving me big bucks! They will dispose of your old machine, too. Thank you!!! read more

A Clean, Well Lighted Place for Superior Powered Garden Tools. I had them repair a machine for me years ago and the experience left me with a very positive impression, so when I needed to spend some serious money on a chipper shredder I went to their new location. It is dense with wondrous machines and tools. Hanging from the ceiling were a couple of the longest chain saws I have ever seen! I tried to imagine them dancing like a Calder mobile ... But I digress. I wound up buying a powerful new machine, and since I lived nearby, Trung, the owner, agreed to deliver - (applause here for superior customer service) a godsend as it was far more machine than would fit in my hatchback! As others have noted, communication is shall we say, very, very low key; you might think you are being ignored (maybe this is a cultural thing) but stay the course and you will be rewarded with intelligent answers to your questions. read more

I needed some help buying a generator--great service, lots of help and advice, and really pleasant. It makes me wish I needed their services more. I'd go out of my way to patronize them again. The experience of having friendly, competent service is one that I always enjoy. read more

Awesome customer service. They looked at my lawn mower which wouldn't start and got it started with in seconds of arriving. The also gave me tips on how best to upkeep my equipment. I will be back for seasonal tune-up. I trust these guys. read more
