About This Repair Shop
A Legacy of Power in Joliet Since 1959
In the heart of the Chicagoland area, keeping a property in peak condition requires more than just standard tools—it requires a partnership with experts who understand the grit of the Midwest. Since 1959, Burris Equipment has served as the premier destination for high-quality landscape and construction gear. For over 66 years, we have evolved from a local dealership into a specialized hub for Northern Illinois, built on a foundation of technical knowledge and "informed confidence."
Now operating as part of a robust regional network, our Joliet location on Cherry Hill Road remains dedicated to the specialized support that professionals and serious homeowners demand. We don’t just move inventory; we provide the mechanical expertise that keeps your tractors, mowers, and excavators working as hard as you do.
Mastery Over Every Machine
Whether you are maintaining sports turf or managing a job site, downtime isn't an option. Our service department is focused on high-level diagnostics and restoration, ensuring that every engine—from a handheld trimmer to a heavy-duty excavator—operates at its original factory standard. We specialize in the precision maintenance that prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs.
Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:
- Full engine diagnostics and tune-ups for zero-turn mowers and compact tractors.
- Precision carburetor cleaning and fuel system restoration for handheld power tools.
- Advanced tire repair and oil services for heavy construction and landscape machinery.
- Certified service for elite brands including Kubota, CASE, Stihl, and Exmark.
The Burris Equipment Edge
What sets us apart is our dual-specialization in both professional-grade sales and high-performance rentals. We are the go-to source for Joliet's construction and landscaping crews because we maintain one of the most reliable rental fleets in the region. If you need an excavator delivered within hours for a last-minute job, our rental team, led by experts like Ed, is known for being fast, efficient, and fair.
Because we carry a massive inventory of genuine parts for Wright, Jacobsen, and Mean Green, we offer a level of specialized support that smaller shops can't match. We also stay at the forefront of the industry, offering the latest in innovation like Kress robotic mowers to help our customers work smarter, not harder.

What People Say About This Shop
I’ve been coming to Burris since the 90s, and they still have the best technical knowledge in Illinois. Their Joliet team on Cherry Hill Road helped me diagnose a complex hydraulic issue on my Kubota tractor that other shops couldn't touch. Truly a premier destination for pros.
Ed and the rental team are absolute lifesavers. I needed an excavator delivered to a job site on short notice, and they had it there within hours. The machine was in perfect factory condition. Best high-performance rentals in the Chicagoland area.
I recently switched my fleet over to Kress robotic mowers with the help of the Burris team. They didn't just sell me the tech; they provided 'informed confidence' by explaining the setup and maintenance. Working smarter, not harder, thanks to these guys!
I brought in my Stihl trimmers for precision carburetor cleaning and fuel system restoration. They run like the day I bought them. Burris understands that even the small tools are vital to a landscaping crew’s success.
There’s a reason Burris has been around since 1959. They stand by their work and their word. I recently had a full engine tune-up on my zero-turn, and the quality of the mechanical work was flawless. Best lawn mower repair in Joliet.
They carry a massive inventory for Jacobsen and Mean Green. Instead of waiting weeks for a part to be shipped, Burris usually has it on the shelf. It’s the specialized support that keeps my landscaping business moving.
I brought in my heavy construction machinery for advanced tire repair and oil services. The turnaround was fast, and the price was fair. They understand that for a construction crew, downtime isn't an option.
I dropped off my zero-turn for a simple engine diagnostic and it sat there for three weeks. For a shop that says downtime isn't an option, they certainly didn't seem in any hurry to get my mower back to me. Very frustrating experience.

Yes. Most repair shops in Joliet, 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.
