Word Around Town
Two shops told me to junk the Ariens. Josh rebuilt the carb and it fired first pull in November. Still does.
Mike R. — Cheshire
He looked at my mower for ten minutes and told me it wasn't worth fixing. Didn't charge me a dime. That's who gets my business now.
Dana K. — Southington
He grabbed it Tuesday, had it back Thursday. Fair price, no upsell, and it runs better than the day I bought it.

The Guy With The Wrench
Seven years of taking engines apart to put them back right.
Josh doesn't do the spray-and-pray tune-up. If a carburetor needs cleaning, it comes off the machine and apart on the bench — jets, bowl, float, the whole works. That's the difference between an engine that runs and one that starts on the first pull in January.
And the honest part: if your machine isn't worth fixing, he'll tell you before the bill exists. Some shops sell hours. This one sells running equipment.
Slots are limited every season because one guy does the work — and that's on purpose.
