Thompson Small Engine Repair

May 2022

This was my first time visiting even though I have passed by many times. I usually pick up mower parts from other local places because it's convenient and I'm already in the store. I was having a hard time finding parts to a 1967 model Briggs & Stratton engine and tiller. I really needed a place where I could bring the old parts in and get someone to match them up. That's hard to do with on-line ordering. After multiple attempts trying to find parts on-line with "should be compatible with your engine" I decided to try Thompson's. They were able to get me everything I needed to rebuild this old tiller that had been sitting with rotten gas in the tank and carb for 20 years. These were OEM parts - not the junk knockoffs. They also had good quality mower blades which I also needed for a push mower. I usually expect small town shops to have a little higher price, but they were actually better priced than the big box stores on a lot of their parts. I am glad I stopped in. This will be on my list of go-to places in the future.

Mr. Thompson has worked on several machines for me over the years...chainsaws, push mowers, riding mowers...and I've even purchased a chainsaw from his shop when he offered me a deal i couldn't refuse. His work is excellent, and depending on the job, his turn around time is within a week (he's always got plenty of machines to work on.) Best of all he's easy on the pocket. If he realises the repair is something small like a missing pin or small wire come undone, he's more liable to charge you mere cents for the work done than try to price gouge you like other mechanics would. Much respect for Mr.Thompson, class act all the way.
