What People Say About This Shop
Excellent service! I messaged LMW on Facebook and dropped my mom’s snowblower off the same day. Mark diagnosed the issue immediately and had it running beautifully in just three days—even after it sat unused for years. Fair pricing and the best tune-up in Chicago!
Mark was very honest and reasonable. He got my machine back to me very quick and before the snow storm. Let me tell you it ran like a champ. I will definitely be going back and recommending him to others. Thanks again Mark. Definitely the best blade sharpening in Chicago.
I’m so grateful I took my machine to LMW. After leaving gas in it all off-season, I needed a carburetor repair. Not only was it fixed quickly, but the full tune-up has it running better than ever! The owner provided expert maintenance tips and product recommendations. Drop-off was easy and the customer service was 5-star quality. I’m finally ready for the next Chicago blizzard!
Highly recommend LMW SNOWBLOWER REPAIR for blade sharpening in Chicago. Great experience... Mark kept me well informed. He sent pictures and hus customer service was impeccable. The turn around time was faster than any large repair shop. I use to go to the toro repair shop in alsip... nvr again! LMW is my new favorite snow blower repair shop
This man is quick, efficient, detailed, and skilled. He estimated 1 week but returned it in 3 days. When more work was needed, he sent me photos and cost change and still was not expensive. Would highly recommend him for my snow blower and other small motor equipment. Definitely the best mower tune-up in Chicago.
Best small engine repair experience in Chicago! I’ve known Mark over 20 years and trust his reliability. Dropped my machine off Monday had it back on Friday. It looked and worked like new. I left it sit over night. Next morning it started on first pull. I probably saved double the cost if I had taken it somewhere else. If you’re not using LMW you’re wasting money. Great job Mark!
Took my 20 year old craftsman snow blower to Mark which was backfiring and stalling out. He rebuilt my carburetor for a great price and now it runs like a champ. Great guy, great service, and great price. Will definitely be coming back again. I highly recommend LMW SNOWBLOWER REPAIR for anyone needing small engine repair in Chicago.
Mark at LMW Snowblower Repair is top-notch! He provided a free estimate, explained the repairs clearly, and even sent photos so I knew exactly what was being fixed. Complete transparency and great pricing. His professionalism beats every other shop in Chicago. Highly recommended!

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Yes. Most repair shops in Chicago, IL service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.
Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.
Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.
