Lindsay’s

I read awful reviews about this place, but thought I’d give it a shot anyway, since I have seen first hand how reviews on here and google can sometimes be completely fabricated. NOT WITH THIS PLACE! I went in and was very rudely «greeted» by a guy sitting and doing something on his phone. He acted as if I was interrupting something important. I explained I was there to see how much it would cost to fix my mower and he pointed across the room to a guy sitting at a desk on the computer. I walked over to the desk and stood there for a minute before I realized this guy wasn’t even going to acknowledge me. So I left. Neither one of them said anything, there were no other customers there, it was obvious I was leaving, THEY JUST DIDNT CARE! Prime real estate on South 1^st, how and why is this place still in business??? Kindness goes a long way yall, try it sometime!

Dropped off my lawnmower and after a couple of weeks I called to see what was the status (winter…not in a hurry). They said that they could not repair it due to a dented mower blade claiming «safety» reasons. No explanation as to why they did not call me to let me know sooner. They suggested over the phone that I just leave it a buy another. I said no and picked it back up. That’s when I noticed a number of used mowers for sale. So it seemed to me that they saying just forget it really meant «abandon it here, we will fix it cheap and resell it for a good profit». I took my mower to a smaller shop. It was fixed with a smile within a few days. Lindsay’s lost my trust and my business forever.

Bought a new Honda mower for about $ 400. After having it for about a month, I hit a piece of steel and bent the crank shaft. Took it to Northern Tool for a look see and was told it couldn’t be repaired but they’d help me donate it.
Called Lindsay’s and was told they could fix it. I took it in and a month later I have it back fixed. They told me it would be at least a month the day I dropped it off.
They are honest, very busy and reasonable. I will always go to them for small engine repairs.

My comments are about nothing other than I was told 4 — 6 weeks before they would ever look at my pressure washer. Just seems a bit crazy that they have that kind of back log. My recommendation would be to call them before you bother going up there. My mistake.

My first visit to Lindsay’s was rather unimpressive. I found them online, and called to ask if they serviced my particular brand of mower. He said yes, so I asked what time they closed that day, and he told me. I showed up maybe half an hour before they closed, and asked where I should drop off a mower for service. His answer was something to the effect of «we won’t be able to look at it for at least 4 weeks».
Now I understand they get really busy this time of year. But I think a month backlog would be something to mention when someone calls to ask about service.
That was a month or two ago, so today I called again, and this time I asked about the backlog and was told that it would be 2 or 3 weeks. Again, I don’t hold it against them for being busy, which is why I’m giving 3 stars.

After being treated rudely at McCoys over on S. Congress, I thought I’d give Lindsay’s a try. The young man behind the counter looked up a list of parts I needed for my trimmer, said they had them in stock, then went back to grab them.
He had me rung up and out the door in less than 10 minutes. Although it was a quick transaction, the counter guy’s demeanor made all the difference in the world. I will definitely go to Lindsay’s for all my small motor needs in the future.

These guys are HONEST to the bone.
Meaning: they won’t overcharge you.
Everyone is very knowledgeable, polite and most importantly, follows through on their promises. Whatever time estimate they give you, they stand by that.
They’re nice enough to keep calling me when I missed a few of their calls (they were done way sooner than I expected).
Trust ‘em with your lawn device and feel good about supporting an awesome local biz!

This place is horrible. I had a chainsaw that broke after very first use. Took it there because it was the only warranty shop in austin metro area. They said saw was burnt up after first use, less than 15 minutes on the saw. When I went to pick it up, they just handed me a box of parts. They said «We don’t re-​assemble if we are not going to fix it.» Rude people, Rude staff, just horrid place all around. This is why so many small local businesses die, because crappy service like this sends people to big box stores where customer care is important.

Lindsays is a master of what they do. I came in with what i thought was a costly repair and turns out it was not at all what was expected. They were FAST, FAIR, and FRIENDLY, what more do you want from a business these days? They also only charged me a minimum for my repair. Recomend them for ALL of your small engine repairs!

Lindsays is an OLD SCHOOL small engine repair shop. I recently purchased a used lawn mower that was missing a couple of parts. The previous owner had pulled off thetag with model/​serial number but these guys found what I needed and called me ON TIME to let me know the parts were in. I also have another mower that had a gas leak. I went by to order a new gas tank and Chuck said «hold on a minute, I think that model had a recall on it and the repair may be FREE to you» Sure enough my 10 year old model was on the list, the repair was free and I was called BEFORE the promised return day. If you have a mower, blower, wacker, cutter or edger that needs repair take it th the folks at Lindsays, THEY KICK ASS!

Disappointed it is taking more than 2 weeks to get a tuneup done on my Lawn Boy push mower. The weeds are taking over.

Parts warehouse for lawnmower and power equipment supplies… very knowledgeable and friendly staff that will steer you in the right direction if they don’t have it. Most of the folks at the counter have been there 15 plus years! They also do repairs, but I have not had any experience with them in that capacity.
