About This Repair Shop
A Pittsburgh Tradition Since the 1950s
From its humble beginnings in Baldwin during the 1950s to its current state-of-the-art facility in Pleasant Hills, Dobosh Center has been a definitive pillar of the Pittsburgh power equipment community. Founded by Ray Dobosh and later led by his daughter, Sally Miller, the shop has evolved from a specialized repair garage into a premier sales and service destination.
Today, as part of the Knox Investment Group family, we continue to bridge the gap between "big-box" retail and professional-grade support. We don't just sell machines; we provide the "informed confidence" that comes from decades of technical mastery and a personalized "Dobosh Family" approach. We treat your equipment as a vital investment for your property, ensuring it stays as hardworking as the Steel City itself.
Factory-Certified Service and Warranty Mastery
We understand that your outdoor power equipment requires professional-grade maintenance to last for the long haul. As a factory-authorized service center, we handle everything from routine manufacturer recalls to complex authorized warranty repairs that keep your protection intact.
Our Specialized Technical and Maintenance Services:
- Elite Brand Support: Authorized warranty repairs and service for Husqvarna, Gravely, Ariens, and BCS.
- Engine Restoration: Expert small engine diagnostics and complex carburetor rebuilding for both 2-cycle and 4-cycle systems.
- Seasonal Precision Care: Comprehensive tune-ups including technical oil changes, fuel system stabilization, and air filter care.
- Mechanical Overhauls: Precision belt and cable replacements, deck leveling, and ignition system troubleshooting.
The Dobosh Edge: Specialized Brands and Professional Sharpening
What truly sets us apart in the South Hills is our commitment to specialized, high-durability equipment. Our edge lies in being a premier dealer for Ariens snow blowers—an essential for Pittsburgh winters—and BCS America two-wheel tractors.
We provide the "science" of a perfect cut through our professional blade sharpening and balancing services, which protect your mower's spindles and ensure a healthy lawn. To keep your home or business moving, we offer a convenient pickup and delivery service for larger units. For qualifying extended repairs, we even provide a no-charge loaner mower program to keep you in the field while we work on your machine.
A Maintenance-First Philosophy
The vibe at Dobosh Center is expert-led, supportive, and deeply rooted in our 70-year history. We pride ourselves on a "maintenance-first" philosophy, taking the time to educate our customers on proper fuel storage and equipment care to prevent costly future repairs.
We are experts in the primary engines that power the industry, including Kawasaki, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Honda. Whether you are looking for the latest Husqvarna Automower®, a rugged Gravely zero-turn, or high-performance tools from ECHO and Shindaiwa, visit us on East Bruceton Road to experience the "Dobosh Difference." At Dobosh Center, the service always follows the sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about lawn mower repair services
Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In Pittsburgh, PA, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.
Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.
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.
Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in Pittsburgh, PA when shops are busiest.
Yes. Most repair shops in Pittsburgh, PA 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.
Regularly change the oil, clean or replace air filters, sharpen blades, and use fresh fuel with stabilizer. These simple tasks prevent most common problems.
