What People Say About This Shop
There is a reason Pomona Power Equipment has been around since 1968. I remember my father bringing his gear to Herbie, and now I bring my Scag tractor to Steve. It is a true three-generation family business where you aren’t just a customer; you’re a neighbor. They have this 'informed confidence' that you only get from 57+ years of experience. They just finished a full engine tune-up on my mower, and it’s running like a dream. It’s the only place in Ramapo I trust for honest, high-quality small engine repair.
Living in Ramapo, you have to be ready for everything from blizzards to spring growth. I brought my Ariens snow blower in for a fuel system recovery and carburetor cleaning after it sat all summer, and they had it winter-ready in no time. While I was there, Jesse helped me pick out a new Stihl chainsaw and took the time to explain the maintenance. They don't just sell you a machine; they make sure you have the right tool for your specific acreage. Expert knowledge and neighborly kindness at its best!
I run a local tree service, and downtime isn't an option for us. Pomona Power is the mechanical backbone of my business. Their inventory of Husqvarna and Echo parts is massive, so I’m never waiting weeks for a repair. Whether it’s precision sharpening for my chainsaw chains or complex engine diagnostics on our generators, Steve and the team get it done right the first time. They stand by their word and actually answer the phone—which is a rarity these days. Best professional-grade equipment service in the Tri-State area.
I went in looking for a new mower and was greeted by Max and Jesse. Instead of just pointing me to the most expensive model, they asked about my yard and recommended a Walker mower that fits my needs perfectly. I also brought in some hedge trimmer blades for precision sharpening, and they came back sharper than the day I bought them. It’s a 'mom and pop' shop vibe with the inventory and capability of a major dealer. You can feel the history and pride they take in their work the second you walk onto N Madison Ave.
I had a Honda generator that was struggling with modern fuel issues, and the team at Pomona performed a flawless carburetor cleaning and fuel system flush. Their technical insight is second to none. It’s great to see a business carrying on Herbie’s legacy of excellence with such high standards. They are honest, fair-priced, and they have a great sense of humor that makes every visit a pleasure. If you need expert lawn equipment repair in Ramapo, don’t go anywhere else. Five stars isn't enough!
I’ve been a loyal customer of Pomona Power for over a decade because they understand the Rockland County seasons perfectly. They just finished my fuel system recovery and seasonal prep for my mower, and while I was there, I had them do a final engine tune-up on my Ariens snow blower before putting it away. Steve and the team operate with a level of 'informed confidence' that you only get from a shop that's been around since 1968. They are the true mechanical backbone of this community. If you want your equipment to last for decades, this is where you take it.
As someone who does a lot of my own tree work, I am very picky about who touches my Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws. The team at Pomona Power handles my chainsaw chain sharpening with incredible precision—the blades come back better than factory new. Max and Jesse really know the technical nuances of professional-grade gear. It’s a classic 'mom and pop' atmosphere where they actually stand by their word and treat you like family.
It is so rare to find a business like Pomona Power Equipment these days. Seeing Steve carry on Herbie’s legacy with his own sons is wonderful. They handled a complex engine diagnostic on my generator that another shop couldn't figure out. They found the root cause, performed a carburetor cleaning, and had it running in days. They are honest, technical, and always have a bit of humor to brighten the day. They’ve been Rockland County’s first choice since 1968 for a reason—they are simply the best at what they do.
