What People Say About This Shop
I was quoted one price for a chainsaw sharpening, but when I arrived to pick it up, the total was higher with no clear explanation of the extra fees. In a city like NYC, I value transparency, and I didn't feel I got that here. The repair was fine, but I don't appreciate the surprise at the register. One star for the billing headache.
NYC Small Engine & Tool Repair is a steady resource for the neighborhood. They handled a hedge trimmer repair for me quickly and the staff was very knowledgeable about Briggs & Stratton engines. It’s a small, busy shop that gets the job done. I’ll be back for my spring mower prep.
I really wanted to love this place because it's local to Gowanus, but I had a rough time. They fixed the starting issue on my blower, but they didn't call me when it was finished like they said they would. I showed up and it had been sitting there for two days. The mechanical work is a 4, but the service is a 1. Splitting the difference at 2 stars.
It’s an okay shop for basic seasonal maintenance. I had an oil change and spark plug replacement done on my walk-behind mower. The price was exactly what was quoted, but the shop is quite cluttered and the intake process felt a bit rushed. Good for a quick fix, but don't expect a polished 'dealership' feel.
I’ve taken my Bosch and Hilti tools here several times. They are great at engine diagnostics and identifying mechanical issues that other shops miss. The 14th Street location is convenient, and the pricing is transparent. It’s a 4-star experience for me—practical, reliable service without the frills.
I brought my Echo trimmer in for a tune-up, and while the repair was successful, the turnaround was much slower than promised. I understand New York moves fast, but I had to call three times for an update. The price was fair, but the lack of organization in the front office makes it hard to recommend if you're in a hurry.
The work itself is solid—my Honda mower runs perfectly after the carburetor service and blade sharpening. However, the shop is a bit difficult to navigate and I found the communication about the pickup time a little vague. It’s a decent, no-nonsense Brooklyn shop, but expect a very direct, 'city-style' customer service experience.
Robbie is a lifesaver for contractors in Brooklyn. I dropped off my Milwaukee and DeWalt saws in the morning and they were ready for the job site by the afternoon. It’s hard to find a shop in Gowanus that understands the urgency of professional work. For power tool repair in NYC, this is the most efficient spot I’ve found. 5 stars for the speed!
