Gem State Small Engine Repair

I needed a broken muffler bolt repaired, and some routine maintenance performed, and Chris was able to walk me through what would be required and how long it might take. He's a straight shooter and I was even able to pick up my mower a week ahead of schedule, during the busy season.... I would certainly recommend his services!

I brought in my old, and very tired lawnmower to the owner at Gem State Small Engine Repair. Unfortunately the lawnmower was completely inoperable and parts were even falling off. He could have turned it away as the bucket of bolts that it was. Instead he took on the challenge, and made multiple attempts to get it back together. If he charged by the hour I could have bought two brand new lawnmowers. He kept to his original quote and I willing paid the extra fees for the parts. The lawnmower came back looking like new and was running like a champ. He exceeded every expectation and I highly recommend Gem State Small Engine Repair.

Amazing family run business; 1) great customer service, 2) knowledgeable, 3) professional, and 4) fair value. I took my mower in for maintenance, and Chris was willing to meet with me after business hours to accommodate my work schedule. Initially, he said it would be about 10 days till I could pick up. Well, he ended up getting the job done in 6 days, and the care and experience definitely showed in the final product - looked brand new and ran as new. When I picked up my mower, it was pouring rain and Chris and his family were out in the rain not only helping me load my mower, but also going above and beyond to ensure that it wouldn’t be water logged in the rain on my drive home. Not to mention, they were able to do all of this as they also were helping several other customers at the same time while still giving off that family run-small business personalized feel. I’ll be returning every year to Chris and his family.

Chris is such a good guy! After buying a used lawnmower from someone else, that kept giving us issues, we brought it to Chris in hopes to just buy a refurbished one at his store. He looked at ours, the previous owner had put on the blade upside down replaced the carb with one that did not fit, and the list goes on. So he was willing to fix it if we wanted or show us a better one. After looking at new lawnmowers earlier that day, the mower Chris showed us was such a fair price and much nicer than what we could afford new. It started easily and had been rebuilt by him and his crew. While we were there he also showed us a gas powered leaf blower that we couldn’t pass up. I love people that know what they are doing and don’t BS you. Chris also made my pregnant wife feel very welcomed and comfortable. I know this is a place I can recommend and continue to bring business as long as I’m in Boise.
