Great service! Repaired my snowblower much quicker than their estimate. They said they were very busy and it could take them 7 to 10 days to get to it, but they got it done in only 2 days.
Very impressed with Sterling Mower Repair! Was difficult finding a shop willing to work on the electrical components or brand of my portable generator. Called Sterling Mower Repair staff they had me bring it in that day. Not only did they replace the 30 Amp outlet on my Champion (Inverter) generator they did it in a quick turnaround so I don’t miss any future RV trips. I also had them service my Honda push mower. Nice winter discount pricing as well. This will definitely be my go to small engine shop from now on. Well worth the 30 min drive.
Nick and his staff & technicians are extraordinary. Exceptional and timely service, fair prices, professional disposition and just kind people.
Very personable and highly qualified technicians. Highly recommend them for your mower and snow thrower repairs.
We use Sterling mower for our small landscaping business and couldn't be happier! Great guys and prompt service! Highly recommend!!!
I had a fantastic experience getting my lawnmower blade sharpened here. Everyone at the counter was super friendly, and the technician was knowledgeable and efficient. The service was affordable and quick—I was in and out while I waited. Highly recommend!
Sterling Mower is the BEST Mower Equipment and Repair Business I've ever used. Been using Sterling Mower for over 10 years, super friendly staff & customer service, great advice on equipment, honest fair priced repairs. Nick the Owner is EXCELLENT --- I maintain 40 acres of dog walking trails at a local animal shelter and Nick always gives me the best advice and help on all my equipment needs. NO other mower business I would use (and over the past 40 years I've used many, before finding Sterling Mower) --- buy ALL my landscaping equipment and supply needs from Nick and Sterling Mower --- and it's awesome supporting a Small Business!!!
I'm a small business owner with a large number of walk behind and hand held equipment. I've been doing business at Sterling Mower for 25+ years. The bulk of our equipment is serviced and repaired here, I buy our new equipment here and we also purchase nearly all our spare parts here. Nick and Chris are awesome. Experienced, knowledgeable and will bend over backwards to get the job done. They are patient while listening to me rant about any number of topics. Love those guys.
Great staff....very knowledgeable......fair pricing. Highly recommend them.
Very proffesional staff
Great customer service!
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff! Quickly helped me get my mower fixed.
EGO sent me to this company as a repair center for their electric products. My string trimmer was giving me problems. Nick returned my call, told me to bring the tool in and ask for him to take a look at it. When I got there Nick was out with another customer and Bobby asked if he could help me - so I explained and I had spoken with Nick and that I could wait on Nick. Bobby said - let me have a look at it please. He took a look, reloaded the line, showed me a trick the manufacturer fails to tell you in the how to manual. My point is, in my experience, this level of customer service and care, making the extra effort, is rare. Rest assured I will be taking all my garden tools issues to Sterling Lawn Mower Repair in the future! Thanks guys! K Connor Vienna VA.
Can t say enough good things about this place. Excellent work and even better customer service! Bobby is the man - extremely helpful and nice along the way. I will bring any and all business I can to them.
Stopped in to get help with a weed Wacker repair and the very nice gentleman at the front desk, Bobby was kind enough to help get me back up and running in no time at all and with a smile, free of charge. Thank you!
This place is busy for a reason! Great service and knowledgeable staff. Nick and the team were a pleasure to work with!
All I ll say is that if you re in need of repair and are reading reviews, if you aren t using Sterling you re doing it wrong. I just used them for the first time and you can tell they are the top of the ladder in mower repair. This is an actual storefront that sells mowers, blowers, trimmers etc They ll take care of you. It s not a dirt garage with a toothless mechanic wearing overalls, watching you pull up. These guys are pros and go the extra mile to make you a happy customer. My mower had sat for probably 10 years. Cobwebs, mucked up carburetor, and a few other things that weren t working right. When I got it back, my mower looked and ran like new, was cleaned and blades sharpened for half the price other places would charge. I m good to go. They were much faster than advertised too! I had my mower back in 36 hours. Beat that!!
always great service.
Got my Honda mower blade sharpened again at this place after 4yrs. Again it was very quick/convenient service with fair price. Staff are nice.
Nick and the team at Sterling Mower Repair have great customer service, responsiveness, and integrity. They fixed our snow blower last month. I highly recommend them!
Oh my gosh, this place is amazing. Friendly workers, very fast, reasonable prices, knowledgeable technicians--- what more can you ask for?! We brought in a Husqvarna chainsaw that we couldnt start. Bobby quoted us clear prices on repairs and a deposit if they were not able to start it. However, Chris is a magician and with a little finagling he was able to get it unflooded and started up! Later we purchased a new chain for our neighbors saw and the guy (didnt get his name) built it by hand and even showed me how to get it on properly. It was just that rare experience of a well-run business. My husband walked out and said 100% we are bringing all our small engines here in the future!
Fantastic customer service. They got my echo chainsaw repaired in short order and were courteous, explained things thoroughly, and kept me up to date. Quite a few other repair shops could learn a thing or two.
Vary professional staff .Great Service .Price wise vary reasonable
Professional and friendly team there. Opened door for me. Sharpened my mower blade that I brought in about 2 min and I was on my way. Great experience.
Great shop. Great service. Excellent staff.
Nick and his staff are exceptional, knowledgeable and truly professional. Well stocked parts and service department with all of the latest inventory, Reasonably priced and prompt service. I highly recommend Sterling Mower Repair for all of your small engine needs
Nick and his team are some of the best in the business. I came to Sterling Mower after a sour Facebook marketplace experience ready to commit to something long-term and more practical for a .75 acre lawn. Nick and his team worked with my budget, needs, and size of lawn for a riding mower that what Im sure will last 20+ years. First time customers also get the benefit of a delivery option. All in all, highlight recommend SMR, you will not be disappointed.
These guys are pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. Reasonable service charges for expert work.
Good service
EGO Warranty Claim - really great experience with this shop and Nick specifically! Outstanding customer service.
Great people, I recommend to anybody!
Kudos to everyone at the Sterling Mower repair! Solid 5 star service! I had an issues with my Ariens snowblower. Initially they couldn t find out what was wrong with it but they did not give up. Nick and his crew diagnosed the problem and fixed it just in time for this snow storm. I couldn t be any happier. Great service and very reasonable repair cost. Thank you!
Ive been going to Sterling Mower for over 20 years. Theyve service my mower and snowblower and Ive never had a break down in all those years and Im still using the same mower.
I dropped my lawn mower off for service and this team did a fantastic job. They called me the next day with a detailed description of the work that needs to be performed and an estimate. The work was completed immediately and they restored my lawn mower to tip top shape the very next day. This team is very busy with the amount of work they have, yet their attention to detail is excellent. My lawn mower works better than before and looks brand new!!! Great team and great service. I highly recommend Sterling Mower Repair.
Very courteous and polite front desk staff. Excellent communications. Reasonable prices. A well managed professional business. This company has earned my business for life. Impressive ! Thanks for your service to the community.
Extremely friendly and outstanding customer service. Pleasure to do business with them.
For all you do it yourself lawn Care people, they have all the top notch brand lawn equipment and premium maintenance services.
Great guys. Have all my parts for a 20 year old mower in stock!
Best small engine sales and service in Northern VA possibly the world.
excellent service they always try to help in every possible way so you can find what you are looking for
I had my mower blade sharpened while I waited. It took 5 minutes and is better-than-new.
The folks here understand and deliver the utmost in customer service! They dont try to upsell; they commit to customer satisfaction. They tell you what to expect straight up so you as a customer can make an informed decision. I have several other neighbors going to them!
Customer service at it s finest. Nick and Bobby were both extremely helpful over the phone and in their showroom. I was walked through all the options for a new blower and not once did I feel upsold. He even filled the first tank for me after he assembled it. Sterling Motor is family owned and it certainly shows! Highly recommend!
I have only had to use Sterling Mower a few times because when they fix my stuff it stays fixed. Just had my 30 year old push power mower repaired and it runs like new at a cost of less than 1/4 what the new comparable ones cost. Highly recommended.
Amazing staff and service!
My mower always comes back looking and running like new. Affordable.
Friendly and helpful
Nick and his team are very knowledgeable and provide excellent service at a fair price. I have purchased and had serviced, several items...to include an ExMark zero turn...and recommend you give your business to them...a very solid group of professionals.
Good knowledgeable people that are eager to help and answer questions regarding lawn care equipment. Local Stihl dealer.
Called and asked a question about a string mower brand that I thought they sold. Believe I spoke with the owner ... whoever I spoke with they are super nice and knowledgeable. Turns out they dont carry that brand of string mower anymore but the person who answered was STILL very helpful. Great customer service and will be using their services going forward!
Nice guys
Knowledgeable and helpful, my go to for small engine work and all things Stihl.
Best business by far in all of Va! Nick and Chris are great owners and go out of there way to help people
Knowledgeable friendly staff!
Great place the guys know their stuff and always ready to help you out
Picked up my rebuilt tiller this morning. I had brought it in to be recycled when they told me they couldnt repair it but when they looked it over they found they could replace the original 40+ years old Briggs and Stratton engine with a used Honda pressure washer engine (the washers die when their pumps give out, which are too expensive to replace, but the engines are usually still serviceable) for $243. Well worth it!
Great place for all lawn care
Very knowledgeable and friendly
Weve been doing business with Sterling Mower for years. Friendly staff and great service. As a small lawn and landscape business owner (Herndon Lawncare Inc) sometimes we need same day service or repairs and their staff always does everything they can to get us back in action.
I took my Honda power washer there that wasnt working and I could not be any happier with my experience...Nick was awesome...you can tell these people know what theyre doing and their customer service is incredible. Price was right and job was completed quickly!
Sterling Mower Repair provided outstanding prompt service. Chris did an excellent job repairing my blower. I wish I had discovered Sterling Mower Repair sooner.
I love Sterling Mower Repair, Inc. We recently took our older Honda self-propelled mower in for an end of season tune up and I was ecstatic with the way our mower looked when we picked it up. Lots of attention to detail and a missing part was replaced. We look forward to cranking it up in the Spring. We are so happy to have a reliable mower repair shop in our vicinity. They have also serviced with excellent results our Stihl chainsaw. We highly recommend Sterling Mower Repair.
Good people, stand behind their work
Great outfit who will revive your neglected lawn and garden tools.
Very good parts, good repairs and the best thing is that they take your problem as if it were theirs.
Great staff good prices tons of knowledge
Took my sthil tiller in for repair prompt service even in these ttrying times I think it runs better than new. Cant say enough about them.
Just moved to the area 1 month ago and shaved used them twice now and the staff is awesome. Thank you
Best mower and small machine repair in northern VA.
Awesome is the best way to describe this place and the people that work there. Wish everything was this easy!!!
Good prices on power equipment. Reliable service and outstanding customer service
Professional. Super knowledgeable. Ten stars! Just move to town and now Ive found a reliable small engine repair shop. Thank you.
Took nearly 2 months to repair my lawn more. I called four times and they called zero times. Each time they had an excuse but no information
Always the best place for small engine parts or repairs!
Nick does a great job. They take good care of their customers and charge very reasonable prices.
Man friendly and super helpful.
They did a quick repair on my riding mower. Runs good as new now
Good people. Knowledgeable about everything they sell and work on.
My rented aerator broke down in the middle of work due to a fault belt. Called the store and Chris was quickly helping to locate a replacement and saved the day! Nice store front as well
I dropped off my small engine for a simple fix Im took lazy to do myself. The only thing if you use google maps for directions beware the final destination is one street further down.
Nick and the team at Sterling Mower Repair are fantastic. Easy to work with, they manage expectations on time, and take the extra moment to help you with questions/suggestions. Ill continue to take my equipment there for service, and also use them as a first stop for buying new products (mowers, blowers, tools, etc).
Friendly staff and easy to talk to. Service and advice was excellent.
I brought my mower in to sharpen the blade. The staff there went beyond my expectations to provide excellent and friendly service.
I needed to sharpen my lawn mower blade this morning. I was in and out in 10 minutes. They were quick, courteous, professional and affordable!
Nick and Chris (the owners of Sterling Mower) and their staff have been awesome to work with over the past 20 plus years that I have been a customer here. They will take the same time to help a customer find a specific bolt or buy a new piece of equipment. Their customer service is unmatched and they are honest to a fault (one time about 5 years ago they steered my Dad away from a mower that they sold in their showroom and sent him elsewhere because they hadnt yet tested the manufacturer motor changes in the new mower to a point where they could strongly recommend it. We were there in person and ready to buy on the spot). Who does that? I now dont even price match when I need new equipment- I just go there and buy what I need. I know they are fair, and stand behind their products. They have earned my business and more importantly my trust.
These guys are awesome! They not only fixed my broken mower that had a bad carburetor, they also sharpened the blades, cleaned fuel lines and tank, and replaced the spark plug. And some other little things. All for $110!
They have a very nice show room and a very efficient parts department.
Hands down, phenomenal service. I dont write many reviews, but I felt the need to express how good of a shop Sterling Mower Repair is. The owner, Nick, is great at what he does and has an excellent staff. I purchased a used Toro push mower from them a year ago at a very fair price. I used this mower for the entire year almost weekly. I took it in for a regular service and it had some issues that needed to be addressed. Since the issues were a bit more involved, and they wanted to stand behind a USED mower that they sold me a year ago, Nick and the team went way beyond my expectations and fixed all the issues and serviced the mower. Having bought this from them, they didnt even charge me for the full normal servicing price for all the work completed. Every detail along the way was explained well and they will show you exactly what they are describing if you have a question. Please do yourself a favor and give them a chance on any equipment servicing or new or used purchase of equipment.
Nick, who I presume is the owner super great guy. Interested in educating you when you buy a nice piece of equipment couldnt say enough nice things about him, great experience. Bought a monster Stihl chainsaw.
Brought a DeWalt pressure washer to them on a Saturday. The part I needed was not readily available and my customer was pressing me to fix the machine right away. Although they were really busy with customers, the owner himself took the time and trouble to find the part I needed in his box of spare parts and then sold it to me at a very reasonable price. They are always friendly and willing to help with my questions. I cant recommend them highly enough. Great place to go for your repairs!
Great crew who have helped service my lawn mowers over the years. They have a very well-trained staff, and work hard to get things done quickly - but remain focused on doing the job well. Just some words of advice: During their peak times you are looking at a 10 to 14 day wait, so if you are thinking you need some repair work done, or need to get your machine cleaned out from the winter, get to them earlier rather than later. I recommend them very highly!
So far so good. As far as dealings with customers, they are the best. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.
Best Small Engine Repair Shop in the Area.. They fix it all and they have the best customer service I have ever seen. I dropped my mower off for repair and they had a sale on Stihl chainsaws.. So I got a fantastic deal.. plus they showed me the best tips and tricks to operating it.
Hands down the most dependable lawn equipment repair shop I have been to. I have been a customer for over 30 years here and have bought all of my residential equipment from them. The staff is courteous, trustworthy, and certainly recognizes the value of long term customers. Nick (owner) is a super guy who will always help in answering questions about equipment or needed repairs.
Ive bought three separate Stihl tools from these guys and theyve been super helpful and patient each time. They know all about the tools, and are glad to answer questions and provide suggestions when I have difficulties or concerns. I regularly get my mower blades sharpened here and they are always quick to help and get me taken care of. They certainly know how to run a business and have great customer service. I will happily drive past a few other shops just to come here.
Seem to have to bring in my lawn mower every year. They dont actually test the machines on grass once theyre repaired so you dont know until you use the machine that something is still not right. As long as it starts, they think its okay. Replaced the cable to the blade control. The screw was not attached properly so the vibrations from using the mower rattled the screw loose and the controller fell off. Extremely sensitive; if you let go of the blade control lever even the tiniest bit, the blades disengage. Now, they wont stay on at all. The power drive had also gone out. After the repair you have to push the lever all the way down and hold it there full force in order for the mower to move forward. Extremely hard on the hands. Im actually in pain after I cut the grass. I used to love my lawn mower; not anymore. To SMR, You wouldnt trust your mechanic to say your car was repaired without them test driving it; would you? Then you should test the machines before giving them back to your customers.
Nick the owner and manager is hands down is the the best at customer service, a genuinely great human being. I went in for a new walk behind mower and blower due to new house with an acre...yay..time to sweat. I took a loan out for this purchase and I swear Nick read my distressed look during purchasing decisions. He had a beautiful used commercial ex mark on the floor and promised me a warranty equal to new due to overkill for my acre lawn. What a great dude!! Propmptly bought a back pack blower cause of my savings. I asked if he could sharpen blades before I left and he threw on new ones! No reason to go elsewhere! Thanks Nick and crew, Damon P.S. I live in Winchester and will see Nick for more equipment and services
These guys are the best! I came in after the snowstorm of 2016 to fix my snowblower. They quickly diagnosed the problem, fixed it while I waited, and charged me a very reasonable fee. Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about them. They will now be my go-to guys for servicing my snowblower as well as my lawnmower. Nice work, guys, you rock!!!
Excellent & helpful team here led by Nick. Competitive pricing on quality brands. I have bought 3 Stihl machines in the last year from them.
Best damn shop there is.
These guys are awesome.. Took an old Toro gas trimmer in for repair... They gave me an honest assessment factoring in the diagnostic fee and the cost of the repair and determined it just wasnt worth it to fix.. But they had a solution and instead offered a used, refurbished replacement with a one year guarantee for only $80, cheaper than the cost to repair my machine.. I was also given a quick tutorial on how to operate the new machine and some really good sound advice on how to care for the engine so it lasts years to come.. I had heard good things about this shop and they definitely exceeded my expectations.. The trimmer works like brand new....They were friendly, helpful and I was out the door with my replacement trimmer in less than 15 minutes.. These are my go to guys for sure now!!!
Nick & his staff are incredibly reliable, knowledgeable...and friendly to-boot!
Went to get parts for an Exmark and advice being it was hunting at idle. What a knowledgeable group. I had found a small 1/8 inch round plug under the mower and I showed it to a technician. The thing to note is I had talked to four other repair shops and know one new anything about this plug. This guy told me it was the low idle carburetor plug. Gave me the parts I needed, the SB on how to install it, and sent me on my way. Where have you got this kind of service before. I will send everyone I know to this shop. What a breath of fresh air in these current times. Thank you for being there when I needed you.
Great Shop, excellent staff, on point service. Enough said.
I hardly ever write a review, but these guys are completely honest and very knowledgeable. I have had success with bringing my trimmer and mower here. Some repair shops, it feels like they are doing you a favor by providing a service. not these guys. I have come to them a half dozen times and half the time they fix on the spot at no charge. autonation Honda Dulles needs to take some lessons from them. haha
They have a Bitcoin ATM here!
Even though I came here just to buy $3 worth of fuel lines for my trimmer, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. Even though the store is out of the way for me, i will come here if i ever need something for my yard machines.
Great first-time experience. Arrived just before they opened, they promptly opened at 8:00 a.m., and helped me right away. Ten minutes and a very reasonable charge later, I left with a repaired air compressor. Would definitely use them again.
My brother - the family mechanic - helped me troubleshoot why my riding lawn mower wouldnt start - from 500 miles away over the phone. At least to a 90% chance, he said. I had helped a friend this past fall, by taking his snow blower to this place. They made an oops on the finishing touches - not discovered until he got home, but they came out and made it right. Doing that helped me make the decision to bring the carburetor assembly to them. Any business that will make their mistake right has to be worthy. When I brought my part to them, I noted they were friendly to others in line ahead of me, which made me feel better about the call to bring it there. I explained what my brother told me to do, what I did, and their assessment was in line with what my brother said. Admittedly, they were a day or two past the expected repair time. However, my brother told me to expect a bill of between $100 to $200. Turns out, as explained to me by the technician upon pick up, the problem was the solenoid. They lubricated and exercised it until is was working, even soaked and cleaned the carburetor, and charged me $40. They could have easily duped this non-mechanic and charged me four or five times that, and I would have paid. The fact that they didnt tells me this is a square-dealing shop, and I would recommend them to any friend. Just be a little patient. I forgot to add: this non-mechanic hooked up the assembly to the mower, jumped on the seat, turned the key, and it purred like a cat.
These guys are awesome. My mower hit a stump, bending the blade. The clerk described all my options and what could have been damaged other than the blade. So I bought the blade hoping that that would solve the problem. They sold me a new blade and even installed it right there. Saving me the whole morning trying to figure out how to do it. I will go nowhere else. These guys rock!!
