Walt's Small Engine Repair

My snowblower had always been hard to start since new. I ended up burning out the electric starter and broke the pull cord on it. Since it is an older machine (8-10 yrs?) Walt was able to find a used starter motor, he repaired the pull cord, and he serviced the carburetor. When he brought it back to me he gave a quick tutorial on how to care for it and how to store it for off season. It now runs better than it ever has and it is so easy to start using just the pull cord that I don't even use the electric start anymore. I am very pleased with the service he provided and for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Walt. Thanks Walt.Anyone need an electric starter?

Walt fixed my snowthrower last year and today, Jan17/22 it performed as it should.Easy start, no stalling and able to handle deep snow and get it out of the way fast.Walt told me it needed carb adjustment and cleaning, timing adjustment, new spark plug and oil change.It now runs like new. Glad I spent the money.

I just made a phone call to ask when I can bring my lawnmower in for repair. I was asked basic questions about the lawnmower and he advised me on what to do, to see if the lawnmower will work before I brought it in. I did exactly as he told me and I was shocked when my lawnmower started working again. He is an honest and knowledgeable person. I recommend him 100%.

Walt is very knowledgeable with small engines. He takes the time to explain how these engines work and what the problem most likely is. He provides a tutorial on how to maintain your engine so it doesn’t break down again. I went there around mid May and dropped off my 12 years old Cub Cadet self propel lawnmower. It hadn’t run in about two years. He got it working like new! I didn’t cut the grass in about a month after the mower was fixed so it was very long. I couldn’t believe how well it cut. It just kept on running. I waited another month and just cut the grass recently. There were knee high weeds and grass. Again, it started right up and kept going! I don’t like to wait that long to cut but had to for personal reasons. I highly recommend Walt! Fred

So I called Walt the other day as I had a couple of sheared shear pins stuck in my 12-year old Troy Bilt snowblower that I just couldn't remove (after multiple aggravating attempts). While he could have removed / replaced them (or if not taken it to someone to drill out the pins), Walt recommended I NOT take it to him, as it would cost the same as regular service"

I just returned from getting my snowblower pull cord replaced. It had broken when pulling on it today and I fortunately found Walt’s Small Engine Repair on line and since it had a rating of 4.8 felt confident that I was going to receive a fair and honest price to fix the problem. I removed the external pull cord unit after talking to Walt. Just four screws to remove. I did not have the needed cord to repair the unit myself so I did not mind going to Walt for his professional work. I also greatly appreciated all the extra info he shared with me regarding one and two stage motors and the use of gas containing ethanol. Also his suggestion to completely drain the gas each spring and put an additive into the gas used during the winter to help reduce the condensation that happens when you use gas with ethanol was a real bonus. I would highly recommend using Walt’s Small Engine Repair for anyone needing a small engine repair job. And as a bonus I had my snowblower back working the same day it was broken. Walt called to let me know when he would be back from calls and I had the repair done in about 30 minutes at his shop. Great work Walt.

Walter is a friendly man unfortunately reluctant to work on machines that are more than 20 (corrected at owners request) years old. He did a decent job on my unit rebuilt the carburator and tuned to the best of his ability to running decent not great. Cost me 160 bucks mostly labour so he's not the cheapest game in town and explained that $100.00 an hour labour was in his opinion reasonable with me dropping off and picking up my own equipment. Has odd irregular hours afternoon to early evening. Factually honest review

Walt is so knowledgeable that he was able to diagnose the problem with my snow blower over the phone. I followed his instructions, which was to drain the carburetor bowl and my snow blower is now back up and running. He actually saved me money, in fact it cost me nothing. He's very honest! Would highly recommend.

Walt has helped fixed my lawn mower, as well as replacing engine oil, spark plug and sharpening blade. Gave me a lesson later on how to maintain it better. Price is reasonable. Thanks
