We have parts for several brands of engines: Briggs, Kohler, Honda and Tecumseh. We keep parts for equipment brands like MTD, electrolux, (Craftsman) Troybilt and more.”
What advice do you have for the farmer in maintaining their small engines?
“Maintenance is the key to getting the best performance our of your equipment.” Joe suggested you make sure there’s fresh fuel, clean the air filters frequently, check oil levels, and make sure you’re not low on fuel. He said the thing a lot of people overlook is maintenance.”
How do you set yourself apart form your competitors?
“We are a factory authorized service center for the brands we represent, with well-trained technicians. These technicians attend annual update schools to keep up with the changes, and new technology in the industry.”
What’s in the future?
Joe said he’s hoping for some warmer weather, then things will get busy. “I hope to maintain my parts inventory so I have anything anyone might need when they walk into the store. I try to keep a good inventory for the customers.”
