Extremely poor customer service! Service manager and employee has no desire to listen to customer wishes or desired repairs. They simply do as they wish. They take days to “diagnose “ problems even after customer has told them what problems need to be resolved. Wait weeks to get parts delivered to them with nothing being done. Owner has no clue what is going on and doesn’t apologize for mistakes he made. Constant lies and excuses. Argue with customer on why they didn’t perform repairs customer desired in the beginning. Charge 110.00 per hour for work after waiting weeks to work on mower and doing just a few hours of repairs.
2 weeks ago I took my snapper riding lawnmower in to them as it would not start. The man said that he would evaluate the problem in a couple of days and give ma an estimate of the work and cost.. 12 days later I had not heard from him so I went to his shop and ask about the status. He said that it would be about $180 approximately. I told him to proceed. Then today he called me and like we had never spoke he advised that the cost would be $360.+/-. I told him I would pick up my mower. When I picked it up he advised me that since I was not having them do the work that there was a $110 charge for the Diagnostic of the problem. This was never mentioned. Needless to say this leaves me with a bad taste and would not recommend them.
I bought a Huskvarna 42 riding mower and I am very pleased with it. They delivered it to my driveway (as it was off season) and the technician went over everything with me, including maintenance, as I told him that I do my own maintenance work and repairs. It has been about 3 years since I bought it and it runs great. I do my own service and they have been very helpful with any questions or parts that I needed to do my maintenance. My home has 3/4 of an acre to mow. I also mow both sides of the road on the neighboring lots with 3 passes (about 1/4 mile) on each side of the road. My neighbors and I walk our dogs there. I highly recommend purchasing a mower from LKN Small Engine.
We bought a zero turn mower from LKN and they were absolutely awsome! If you are looking for good customer service and good prices look no further. I will gladly refer anyone I know to LKN.
Bought a commercial Husqvarna mower 8-7-19 and wheel fell 8-19-20 with 91hrs of use on same 3 acre lot. Serviced by LKN annually. Picked up quickly by LKN Small Engine, waited 3 days and called to check on diagnosis. Parts ordered, but unknown arrival. Asked to get back to me on arrival of parts. 3 more business days and a weekend later no call from LKN. I inquired again, additional parts needed to be ordered.... ok another week out. Went around the same revolving door again of no updates another week. 4 weeks later finally completed with news of no warranty coverage, surprise bill to me. I would not recommend a Husqvarna product and after the lack of communication/sense of urgency, LKN Small Engine either.
I took my Husqvarna mower and string trimmer to LKN Small Engine on Monday March 29, 2021 for regular service/maintenance. I was told 1.5 - 2 weeks turn around. After multiple calls on status I finally got my mower back on Saturday April 17, 2021. My string trimmer was not ready. Again I had to call for status and finally on Wednesday April 28, 2021 it was ready. They may be good on repairs but they lack the ability to communicate realistic time frames and keeping the customer informed. Worst of all, while waiting on speaking to someone there is continuous loop of how much they care about customer service!!
Amazing store, friendly and knowledgeable parts and sales staff and a great service center... there’s a reason they keep wining awards from their manufactures (Scag Pro Gold Dealer and Scag Superior Service Award winner) it’s easy: LKN Small Engine is #SimplyTheBest!
Excellent parts service! Very cordial team! Ill be back!
If I could give a zero I would. 3 men sitting behind a desk not willing to move or help. Helped a man that came in after me right in the middle of my transaction. Took 20 minutes to drop off a blower to be repaired. Kept the blower for over two weeks, didnt even look at it until I called to ask the status and then charged $50 to diagnose that its unrepairable. Deplorable customer service. Too bad they hardly have any competition, this is their savior.
They may do good work but their Customer service is terrible and 2 weeks they lied to me about a part and had to drive 2 hours have to go back another 2 hours. They kept my parts now what? How much is your time worth? They could ( at least service) care less. I lost time and money sat in front of the service guy (K....) for about a hour while he played on his computer and typed with one finger. With a place with that Volume you need Customer service.
LKN Small Engine cares about helping you choose the best equipment for your needs. They also help you on how to use and maintain your equipment. They recommend that you should use non-ethanol fuel (they saved me lots of time and costs on repairs by telling me to use non-ethanol fuel). Their prices are really good compared to other dealers in the area. CODY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
They were supposed to be looking for a 52 inch Scag mower for us. Never bothered to call back.
Quick drop off process. Accurate timing estimate. Quality service work. The email correspondence is great.
Impeccable, Honest and Informative customer service! I bought the Scag Freedom Z and I am glad I chose this local business! You should too! R
Great had the belt very friendly and 1st time there very good
I bought a riding mower this year and was in a time crunch to get one and those guys went out of their way to make it happen.in the past Ive stopped in and they even helped me with my products that they dont even sale.I cant say enough about how great of service they have given me.i wont go anywhere else.
They had what I needed in stock. It was put together already and they primed it for me so they knew it was running before I left. Also had all answers to my questions. Highly recommend.
Couldnt ask for better service. The price was very reasonable. I have made it known to my family you guys are the best, bar none.
Great group of people. Both service and sales staff are very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend to check them out.
Everyone is nice and very helpful.Had our mower maintenance service done.
Having just bought a used riding lawnmower, I knew nothing about the rider and the staff and mechanic at LKN Small Engine went above and beyond to inform me, guide me. I even spent time with the mechanic to discuss options to get the mower running well, without overspending spending. Because of that attention, I will return to LKN in the future.
Great customer service! The guys there are great! Very knowledgeable and the selection was fantastic! I highly recommend them!
Working with Cody was a pleasant experience. I walked into the store for some fuel for my trimmer and asked about a zero turn mower. Cody asked me what my budget was, and immediately found something under budget with the commercial quality I was looking for. I went with the mower suggested along with a few extra items. All items were assembled and delivered to my house personally by Cody. Once delivered, Cody stayed to make sure I was confident in using my new equipment. I have to say, the experience at LKN Small Engine was a lot more pleasant than expected. They will have my business in the future and my recommendation for anyone looking for quality equipment and top notch customer service!
These guys are exceptional! I purchased a weed eater there last year and it wasnt running correctly. I took it there and they fixed it under warranty, no charge to me, in about 8 days. The entire staff is friendly and professional. I am going to do all my business for lawn equipment there in the future!
Excellent service and great attitude! Will definitely go back. Highly recommended if you need a mower or chain saw.
Brought my craftsman mower in after recommendation from the warranty company. I only had this machine for approx. 6-7 months, and it stopped working. My goal was to have the mower looked at and have the service completed as per the warranty. I called multiple times over 2 weeks. I never received a phone call saying that the work was not covered by the warranty.I finally received notice that the mower was ready. I went to pick it up. To my surprise, I found out the work was completed and a request had not been sent to the warranty company because it turned on after the service tech changed spark plugs and filter, and that I was billed $82.00. I was at the place being told I have a bill and they didn’t even try and see if the work was covered by the warranty. I left and called in and they said they have experience with this and warranty would not cover the work. They should have called me if they looked at the machine and knew it wouldnt be covered. It costs $25.00 for the work that was completed. 3-4 weeks in i give in and pick it up and i pay the fee but the machine didn’t turn on. So I had to leave and come back again. I lost total confidence in this company.I feel like I got hustled. They take too long to complete the work. Lack of communication. Deceptive practices
Excellent work and efficient service from very knowledgeable team. I took my push mower and riding tractor in on a Saturday, both needing serious maintenance (neither was running) and they finished the work in less than a week. Pretty remarkable considering it’s March and I’m sure they are busy. Both services at price quoted. Highly recommend these folks, wish they were closer.
They have the most friendly, knowledgable people! Above and beyond does not even start to cover their customer service!
Needed a part for my yard tractor and found that LKN Small Engine were easy to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. Cody handled everything with now worries. Have not received that same level of customer service and appreciation from any of the other small engine establishments. Thanks!
I brought my chipper/mulcher to LKN SMALL ENGINE, which had a Viper engine, because it wouldnt start. They were able to diagnose the problem and take necessary steps to get the machine up and running, without costing an arm and leg! They also were easy to communicate with and let me know when repairs were made! Thanks!
Lyndsey was wonderful. I have a Husqvarna MZT 61, & needed a 100 hour service. Lyndsey got me fixed up while we were at the beach. I highly recommend this business!
Im really happy I found LKN. The fixed up my lawnmower very quickly and at a reasonable price. Great service all around from their team. I would highly recommend them and will definite use them again!
Terrible service experience. Was not given a courtesy call asking whether I would authorize $350 in service charges on my old lawn tractor that would not fix the problem. Was informed that it would take $650 to properly fix the problem. Tried to get a sales person to call me back to purchase a new lawn tractor but was never shown that courtesy either. Finally negotiated a $280 repair bill. Never heard from a sales person. Now I have a lawn mower that wont run right and I am out $280 and have to go and buy a new lawn tractor. I am now an ex customer and I will spend my $2,000 to $3,000 equipment purchase and my $200 to $400 annual maintenance budget elsewhere. Done.
LKN has done several repairs on my small engine products over the last couple of years. All repairs have been done right, quickly, and for a reasonable price. I used other repair places in the 15 years I have lived here and have had to take stuff back for adjustments or repairs didnt last etc. Not so here. Thanks to the entire staff at LKN. You guys are great.
Great People. Great products. Great Service. What more do want? LKN Small Engine is the kinda of small business we need in this country. Highly recommend them to anyone.
Excellent customer service from Jared and Sydney. My Bad Boy Outlaw zero turn was worked on and completed within one week turnaround. Sydney took care of my warranty information just like she said she would!
Very friendly and pricing was competitive with the big box stores which you do not get the free pick-up once a year. Cody was knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. Thank you!
I spoke with Cody about my Briggs automatic choke. He was very informative and helpful. I will be a returning customer. Thank you guys 🤘🇺🇲
Local small engine repair shop and Husqvarna retailer these guys are great. Cody is very knowledgeable and will walk you through what ever purchase you need to make to ensure your purchase is the right one for you.
Cody and Lyndsey are awesome. They are so helpful and pleasant. They answered all of our questions and checked on several items and ordered them for us. We also bought a weed trimmer from them. They are knowledgeable about their products and are true professionals. I would highly recommend them.
This place is so amazing wonderful customer service wonder people I would recommend them to everyone they go over and beyond to make sure the consumer has the best experience possible please go for all your small engine purchases and repairs( lawn mowers generators etc.) If I could give more stars I would exceptional service
Family friendly service. I went in with a flat tire on my tractor at closing on Saturday afternoon. They were able to fix it quickly and efficiently. The store inside is super clean and everyone is super nice. When my tractor needs to be replaced, Im coming here for a great deal. Highly recommend this store.
Ive had my mower to LKN Small Engine twice and Im so glad I found them! They have excellent service and communication. You cant ask for better! Thank you Lindsey!! You are amazing! Also, thanks to Jeff in Service!! My dynamic duo!
Be very careful LKN does not do what it claims. I was told that my equipment would be returned within one week. I was never contacted and had to call after weeks in the shop. After almost one month after I called, the day before delivery, I paid the full invoice. The day of delivery I asked about my two other small engine items. Jeff indicated that the blower was not ready and did not know when it would be complete due to a part. I asked for all to be returned and I would repair and deduct from invoice. Jeff said that he could not do that since there was labor involved. All of this the day after I paid the entire amount of the bill that I was asked to pay. I hope they will return my mower and my other two items. The manager said that he would send them and not charge for one edger service. The owner was in Mexico and not available. I would he would call me once he returned.
Great local business with helpful staff that make sure you leave with the equipment you need for the job. I bought a riding mower last year and just bought a string trimer this month all because of the great service. Shop local.
Just bought a Husqvarna zero turn, dump cart, hitch kit, and blower at LKN Small engine earlier this week. Cody was very helpful both in sending me information via email after I called with some questions and again helping me decide on the right unit for me in store.Cody followed up between my purchase and delivery dates to offer me the chance to come in and make sure I was 100% confident in running the new mower. I have run this type of equipment before but think this is a really nice touch. Basically a test drive that helps identify any small tweaks needed to fit the mower to the new owner.Price was great, as I took advantage of 20% off husqvarna. Service was exceptional. Support a really good local business and shop and get your equipment serviced at LKN.
Nice can clean place. Staffs were very friendly and nice.I had a little problem in verifying the warranty record from the store where originally, I purchased my tool. But the staffs were helping me out to get this corresponding to the store. My tool is back to life..Thank you,
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was on hold with Husqvarna for 45 min, decided just to call this shop instead. Talked to a person right away, identified the parts I needed and put them up front for me to swing by and pick them up. Shop local!
Great service and very friendly!
Had a follow-up problem with a previous repair and the owner took care of it without a hassle. Honda 190 motor runs gang-busters now. Great folks to deal with. Knowledgeable and friendly.
I should have done this a long time ago, however Im not a very elegant writer and was afraid I wouldnt do the shop justice. Jared, Cody, Lyndsey, Jeff and the crew are an amazing team. I am a small female owned Lawn Care and Landscaping company, unable to care for my own equipment I rely on the team at LKN to make sure my equipment is running smoothly. I came here after several bad experiences at another facility and I couldnt be happier I made the switch. The crew always goes the extra mile to make sure me and my crew can perform our jobs efficiently. It was because of this excellent service that when it was time to buy a new mower I didnt even think about going some place else. And, can I just say, I love my new SCAG. Thank you LKN Team, you are truly appreciated.
LKN Small Engine is great! I use them for service and supply for my business and they delivery very high level of service every time I interact with them. Highly Recommend!
Great customer service, product knowledge and willingness to help us out however we needed.
My off-brand ATV had some issues and I was unable to get anyone in the Triad area to order parts or offer service for the repairs. The LKN team was able to get parts and though they endured several setbacks with the manufacturer, they stuck with it to get my ATV back in very good condition. Much appreciated.
Brought in my Snapper riding mower for service. Staff is friendly. There were some hiccups regarding getting back communications during the repair process but the owner stepped in and got things on track. A good place for repairs and I would definitely bring my equipment to them for future work!
Very knowledgeable about the equipment. Lyndsey, Cody and the entire staff are very helpful. Support a local business and purchase your equipment there. You wont be sorry.
Good honest service. Hate buying new equipment due to the expense but prices were fair and there was no pressure ever to up-sell.
Just bought a riding lawn mower and the staff was fantastic! Jared is so nice and answered all of my questions. I bought the lawn mower one morning and it was in my driveway that afternoon! They carry all your outdoor landscaping needs and I am so glad I chose to buy from them and not Lowes or another The staff just seemed more appreciative of my business and not just another customer!
Wow, I just had a wonderful experience at LKN Small Engine, LLC!!Cody greeted me as I walked in the showroom, fixed my chainsaw in 5 minutes, & had me back to work. Not only did he fix it right there, but also educated me in the process...that’s how it’s done folks!!Top shelf establishment!
Needed work on the starter for my trimmer. They were quick in determining the issue and providing me with an estimate. They answered all my questions and were quick to finish the repair once I approved the estimate. The did a great job and the trimmer works fine now. Very friendly customer service over the phone and in person. I will definitely repeat business when I have another issue.
Great job LKN Small Engine! Three day turnaround to get my weed wacker working! Thanks!
Great bunch of guys. Fixed an old chain saw perfectly, but most important took the time to tell me how to keep the problems from happening again. So much better than a box store could ever be!
They did and incredible job with my mower. Brought it in and they said I would have an estimate the next day. Got an email as promised with a fair price. Finished about a week later as promised. Very professional and customer oriented. Highly recommend!!
The team over at LKN Small Engine are great, their service and desire to listen and recommend the right products sets them apart from all the rest.
Polite, efficient, and timely. Will definitely be using them again.
Great response to a Husqvarna tractor service issue. Quick turn-around and fair price for what turned out to be a small problem!
Great small engine repair shop. Did a great job getting my portable generator back running
Hurricane IRMA was headed this way and when I tried my generator it would not start. I checked and my generator had gas in the oil! I thought it was dead but called LKN Small Engines after looking at the reviews. I know why they have 5 stars now!! LKN was able to repair my generator saving me the money of having to buy a whole new one. Even though IRMA turned there was a complete turn around because they understood the importance of having the generator ready before the storm. Very Fair, Friendly and FAST, what more could you ask for, and it is uncommon these days. Thanks LKN Small Engine Repair!!
Good work; customer-centric and you can tell these guys enjoy what they do. It shows in their work and the way they interact with customers. Highly recommended.
Dropped a power washer off for a service. This is a business that understands customer service. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Their on-line forms for giving an estimate and notifying when the work is done works great. A lot of larger businesses could learn from Jared and entire team there.
I would recommend Jared and Cody for any work needed. They are very professional, personable, know their stuff and dont try to talk you into things you dont need. Their honesty definitely goes a long way in this day and age. The online portal on their website is great, allowing you to follow their progress.
The lady that waited on me was very nice and helpful.
Jared at LKN Small Engine is fantastic!! I did a google search yesterday to try and find someone to fix my gas powered cultivator and found LKN Small Engine repair. Jared not only fixed it the same day(Saturday) but picked it up AND delivered it. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, rates and integrity! He even came by the next day to troubleshoot an issue I was having with the cultivator.... Top notch service!!! Highly recommend!!
Took my leaf blower in to see if they could get it going again. Tried to sell me a new one with a trade in but I really only wanted mine fixed. They said they’d would fix it. 2 week’s went by and I called to check on the status as I had not heard back and was told that they were backed up but would move mine up in priority. 2 week’s later they called and said that 2 bolts were fastened with heavy thread locker and it would take an hour to get them off and the labor wouldn’t be worth it. I appreciated the honesty but I told them I would come pick it up and not to do it. Went by to pick it up and they again tried to get me to trade it in on a new one. Then the gentlemen went to get my blower and came back to tell me that it wasn’t ready and that they weren’t sure that I was coming to pick it up. Waited for about 10-15 mins for them to put it back together. Poor customer experience for me. Hope that it was just an exception.
We took our Echo gas hedge trimmer in this morning for repairs. Cody greeted us and was very helpful. He was able to fix the trimmer within 5 mins. GREAT Customer Service and THANKS for your help and kindness.
Usually small engine repair shops are not very reliable for meeting deadlines.... this is the exception! Not only do they meet the times promised they keep you informed along the process. LKN Small Engine’s innovative approach will make them not only our first and only choice for repair needs but they will be our recommendation to others. Very satisfied with the service and repair job.
Jared and Cody are outstanding technicians. There shop is first class, their work is excellent and their concern for their customers and the customers equipment is real. This is a company that it is a pleasure to do business with. Very refreshing in todays hurry up and lets get it done environment.
Jared did a great job fixing my generator. Very fast and professional service at a fair price. Loved that the pick up and delivery was free of charge since the unit is rather large/heavy and I had no immediate means to get it to him. I highly recommend this business.
I took my lawnmower in for a tune-up. I had an estimate and estimated time of completion with in a day. They are truly professional, reasonably priced and do high quality work. I am now a life long client and highly recommend LKN Small Engine!
I’ll never go anywhere else for small engine repair. It’s worth the short drive for this level of service. Professional, honest, reasonable prices - try this place before you go anywhere where.
Nice people great place i just got a Leave blower from YALL
Dropped off my tiller for repair. Jared quickly diagnosed it, called me for approval on the repair, and then fixed it up as good as new. He even delivered back to my house! The whole experience was much faster and less costly than I imagined it would be. Very friendly and professional. I highly recommend LKN Small Engine!!!
Great experience. Up to date technology for alerting when they need a decision from you and when its ready. Will keep going back. They do good work!
Jared Goes above and beyond, Both times I have used Jared he picked everything up and fixed my riding lawn, and ATVs in a timely and cost effective manner. I also had him change the oil on my push mower and power washer which was also done quickly. I will definitely be using LKN again.
Jared did an excellent job getting my sons 4-wheeler running...very fast, dependable and affordable. I highly recommend giving LKN your business! Ill be taking all my work to Jared.
I have used LKN small engine repair twice know and both experiences were excellent. Great service with great results. Very friendly service as well.
I dropped my mower off for repair. I was told I would have an estimate by the weekend. Sure enough the estimate was done as promised. I was told the repair would be completed the following week and it was and I was billed exactly as estimated.They are a bit far out but worth the effort. I was given anywhere from 4-6 weeks by others.The place is clean, appears well organized and everyone I uncounted was friendly and helpful.C Churchill Huntersville
We had communication issues while the owner was out but they improved as soon as he returned.
Jared and Cody did a fine job getting my mower working after it sat in storage for a year. They are reliable, honest, and the price was reasonable. I would definitely go back .
Received absolutely terrible service here.They are highly rated so I drove the hour to have my machine serviced here; even paid the $100 fee to get it bumped up the wait-list. Received a call later the same day to say it is all done but when I went to pick it up it had not been touched._____________Hi Jared, thank you for the quick reply. I seem to be unable to respond to your comments directly on Google.You must understand that I am a full time vegetable farmer, so spending 5 hrs in the middle of summer taking my BCS on a road-trip & play-date @ LKN are hours that are very hard won.I am sure you get it right most of the time but in my case the service provided was unprofessional in the extreme.
Great experience - Jared and his team did a great job with maintenance on my John Deere lawn mower. Very professional group. Well done!!
They did a great job with my mower and trimmer. The turnaround time was fair given the fact they had to wait on parts. The charge for labor was also fair and I didnt feel like they overbilled labor. They made sure everything was operational before I left. Go check them out.
Gave Jared a lawn mower and weed whacker that I found at a garage sale. Needed a lot of TLC. Got it back a week later, on budget. Both machines are being used weekly to my great satisfaction!
Im a vetrean and a small buissness owner myself, I know what good service is. This guy and the way he runs his company is flawless. He is dedicated to his work, gives a very competitive price and all around just a genuinely honest person. Hes earned my business on more than one account. Offers a Great Service.
Jared did a good job completing a maintenance job on my John Deere riding mower. So far so good. And reasonable.
I came all the way from Denver because I couldnt find anyone who could find parts to fix my 50 year old Stihl chainsaw. LKN Small Engine was able to find the parts and repair it! It works great.
Great communication. Great work. Great value. I will be back with all my mower repair work. These guys are awesome!
Spring maintenance on a large mower, like my Toro Titan, can be expensive when dealing with the dealers. I gave LKN Small Engine a trial run recently and was impressed with the customer service, mower maintenance, and follow-up by the team. Jared and team was easy to work and have a loyal customer moving forward.
Excellent experience. Fast service. Highly knowledgeable. Priced well. Highly recommend!!
Excellent results! Dropped off a pressure washer in need of carb work. Got my estimate for approval the next business day. Work was finished the following day. Reasonable rates. Ill be using this company again.
