I won't be going near Howard Brothers and their bait and switch pricing. I've heard similar stories from landscapers who've gone there. They only go now due to convenience. It's a shame because they're the closest Honda and Stihl dealer, but but not worth the trouble since they can't get pricing right.

The outdoor repair business is a tough racket but these guys and gals have it figured out. Don't think twice. When your lawn mower needs repair go here. Been to AA many times.

I was rudely told that they wouldn't be able to get to them for approximately 5 months. I expressed surprise, saying that in the past they had provided this same service in a timely manner. In reply they said that they are a "Premier" Stihl dealer and don't routinely provide the service I was requesting. So, I asked where would they recommend I take my chain saws for service. The person behind the counter said he had no idea, that I could google it. I'll never go back

The prices are a little tough but I don't think they make the call on the Stihl pricing. They have tons of products in stock and gladly spent time with me to make sure I knew how to operate them when I got home. They took down my information as they wanted to register the products with Stihl for me. While I was there, all of the other business was for servicing. I have a trimmer and will bring it back for service but probably not until later in the year as they are trying to keep up with servicing requests now (early summer).

Then the self-propel stopped working and the battery would not charge. I had to keep using the mower to keep the lawn cut. I called and spoke to Mr. Sosebee and he said to bring it in and they would put it at the front of the line. Well I finally got a chance to bring it in and they fixed it in three hours. I went back in the afternoon and picked it up. Seems a sweet gum ball (can't stand the prickly balls) had gotten lodged in the belt and ripped it so that's why the self propel wouldn't work. The battery was defective and under warranty so it was replaced. They also replaced the 22" blade. It runs great now and I'm glad as I was getting tired of pushing it up the hill. Stephanie Trotter and her team did a great job getting right to the repair and I really appreciate it. I've used other repair shops but Sosebee gets my vote for the best. Thanks again!

I work out of town so I didn't have a need to use it for a couple months. I tried to use it and it would not start. I took it back and of course they were happy to charge me another $51 to look at it. They got it to start but would not start for me. I purchased a compression tester and discovered the blower only had 70 PSI of compression. Now I have over $300 wrapped up in an old blower that needs to be completely rebuilt. Do not use these people. Any shade tree mechanic can throw parts at something without doing any troubleshooting. Hey Sosebee, I'll be happy to attach pics of receipts if you think any of this is made up but you and I both remember each other. Go ahead and keep being mediocre. It's gotten you this far.

I will not be going back…read more Dropped my weed eater off to see why it wasn't running. No one called with an estimate, only that it was completed. It cost $127. Had they given me the estimate I would not have paid that much to repair a machine that old. However, I figured, if it was running, that was okay. Got it home. It would run for 15 minutes or so before it died. I took it back and they thought the carburetor they put on it was defective, so they ordered a new one and switched it out at no extra charge. Got it home. Same problem. I called back and they now think its the rings. I explained that it was a little frustrating having to bring it back a third time and offered to just pay them for the parts they had already used and have them refund me the rest. I felt that this was a fair settlement since they were having difficulty diagnosing the problem. They were only interested in racking up more repairs for more money, or using what I paid toward a new one. However, at this point, I didn't feel they had earned my business enough to give them any more money. Asking someone to bring their equipment in a third time should be an embarrassment and more than an incentive to make the situation right. I was surprised that a local company that has been in business for so long had so little interest in making sure that a customer walked away satisfied. Some people have reported that the staff was rude, but I did not experience any of that.
