Tim’s Repair

I took a lawnmower for repair to Tim’s 2 years ago and I was pleased with the repair and the price. Unfortunately that was a «one-​off» experience.
I recently brought my snowblower in and had a lousy experience with it. The blower needed a frayed cable and the chute for snow to blow out to be replaced. The chute would have been simple enough for me but I wanted to have a professional install the cable. I also asked him if he would look at replacing the wheel drive engagement cable since I was having the engagement cable replaced.
First he said that it was still lawnmower season (this was the 2^nd week of September). I figured that was fair since he has a one-​man shop and probably had a lot of machines that people brought in to sharpen and winterize so I waited for his return call that he promised would be at the end of September.
I didn’t hear anything by Oct. 12 so I called. He said that he was waiting for suppliers to return the price for parts. I checked in again Oct. 22 and he said that he didn’t think it would be worth the cost to repair. He said that it would cost $ 345.00 to fix everything!
He seemed nice enough and I had been satisfied with his mower repair. But I would NEVER bring a snowblower in again.

Thank goodness for the talents of this guy. He repaired my snow blower which needed a miracle. He even gave us some tips to keep it in good working condition.
