Hi. Looking for a company that will come to my home to service our snowblower. No pickups/delivery. Any recommendations?

Why wouldn’t you want it picked up and dropped off after? The fee is usually small and worth it.

I haven’t been in Worcester County long, but everywhere else I’ve lived has a handful of mobile mechanics who do small engine repair/service. It’s a thing.

Can you recommend one of these places? In my experience the fee is not usually small.

Parker power equipment in Holden is super reasonable. They have picked up and service my snowblower in the past for less than $200 including pickup, parts and labor.

Caola Equipment on Park Ave charged $50 for the pickup in delivery, and $180 for the service, plus $40 for the various parts that were needed. I usually have them do it every other year unless I notice something is wrong. Had the snowblower for about 20 years, no issues with that pattern .

It’s not a Worcester County thing, it’s an everywhere thing. Does your car mechanic come to you to repair your car?

Some do. There are several mobile mechanics in the Worcester area.

I don't know any small engine mobile guys, but Parker Power Equipment in Holden has been pretty good for us the last 5 or 6 years.

So you think mechanics will charge you to pick it up but not charge you to have bring all their tools and shit to you?

Do you get some weird pleasure out of being needlessly rude to people on the internet? If you don’t have anything positive to add, please just don’t comment.
You may not know of any but there are companies with fully equipped trucks who do mobile small engine repair. I simply asked for a recommendation, not for your rude opinion.

I think it's slightly over 200 this year but still reasonable. I just had mine done in August

No? Show me where I said that.
> Some do. There are several mobile mechanics in the Worcester area.
You seemed to complete deny the existence of mobile mechanics while at least two people are here saying they exist.
They exist and literally "bringing their tools and shit to you" is the entire business model.
I acknowledged I don't know any small engine mobile mechanics around here, but OP stated they existed in other places they've lived.
Sorry you're having such a hard time with this, though.

You’re going to have to bring it to a shop. When have you ever seen a mechanic do house calls?
