Horrible service

I felt ripped off.
I took a engine driven pressure washer in. I told the guy it runs but water wont come out and its probably the valve needing replacement. He said let me see so I started it up and demonstrated.
He said pay $40 and they would check it out. I got a phone call from Nick himself said that it starts fine and he didnt know why I brought it in so I explained it to him with the whole story about the previous demonstration to his staff member. He said they dont fix pressure washer components, just the engines. I told him I explained all of this to his staff member and therefore he should return my money. He said no. He wasnt giving me my money back because they looked at it. Asked me if I wanted him to scrap it for me.

Rude and Disrespectful

My experience with this place was absolutely terrible..probably the worst business Ive ever dealt with in my lifetime. Complete attitude and disrespect from the douchebag female owner/worker (you can see the same attitude in all of the google reviews along with the responses from the company) - ironic. Prices for parts are also a lot higher than other shops. I wouldnt step foot in to this place again and their doors need to close for good.

Extremely poor customer service

Even if you have quality products or repair, small business owners should never blame the customer. Found them to be extremely rude, constantly talked over me when I was trying to understand charges.

if you read the negative reviews their response is always to blame the customer.

Shouldn't be the same cost to do routine maintenance as it is to purchase new.

Snowblower service

My snowblower stopped working last winter (in the middle of a snowstorm, of course). Called Nick's and for a $70.00 fee, they picked up the blower, took it to their shop and provided a repair estimate. Unfortunately, my blower wasn't fixable....but they sell as well as service blowers, lawnmowers, etc., basically any small engine related outdoor tool you'd use around the home (weedwackers too, etc.). They carry some top brand stuff so I bought my new blower from them. The good part is they set it up properly for you based on the type of driveway you have (gravel, asphalt, concrete) so the front end isn't scraping the hell out of everything. They also took the time to go through proper maintenance of any small engine powered tool.....they definitely know their stuff. New blower comes delivered ready to go, and service was quick and detailed, no mysteries or vague b.s. The new blower has been great and appreciated their straightforward approach. Would recommend them for anyone's small engine needs.

First Review

Snowblower Tune-Up

Took my snowblower to Nicks for its first tune-up. I was greeted in a friendly manner by Nicks wife. She efficiently prepared my work order and reviewed what they would be doing. She told me it would take about one week and sure enough it did. The machine now starts first try. Nicks is an old fashion, family run business. Truly a pleasure to do business with! Thanks for the great service.
