I recently took my lawnmower in for service, and I couldnt be more pleased with the experience.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly atmosphere. Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of small engines, and he took the time to listen to my concerns before thoroughly assessing the issue.The turnaround time for my repair was impressiveā€”so much quicker than I anticipated! Not only did Dennis fix my mower, but he also provided valuable tips on maintenance to help prolong its life. His rates are very reasonable, and I can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and their equipment.What stood out most to me was the excellent customer service. Its rare to find a business where the owner goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. I left feeling confident in my mowers performance and grateful to have found such a trustworthy repair shop.I highly recommend Dennis Small Engine Repair to anyone in the Whitmore Lake area.

    Excellent customer service, very quick turn around time.Dennis repaired my sonā€™s go cart engine and it was ready for pick up the next day after I dropped it off. He is very knowledgeable and friendly and had no issue squeezing this repair into his schedule to get the go cart operational again.I appreciate his work and would definitely recommend.

    I had a lawn tractor that stalled out and couldnt get started again. I called Dennis on the recommendation of a neighbor. He was supposed to come out today to pick it up and take to his shop, took one look at it and asked for a wrench and cutting pliers and fixed it in my driveway in less than 30 minutes. From my experience, highly recommend Dennis small engine repair shop

    Turn around time under a week, excellent business. I work a full time job on top of own a small lawn maintenance company and I had one of my mowers fail a drive belt, and was behind on annual maintenance with a new born. I ordered the parts but never got around to doing it and tried out Dennis small engine repair, no negative comments about me having the parts or nothing. Super happy and recommend to any homeowner or businesses.

  • Review 5 (2020-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis did a great job repairing our generator. We use it often on our job-sites and he fixed it the same day we dropped it off! We are very grateful for his service. He is professional, kind and really cares about getting your equipment back up and running quickly. We would highly recommend Dennis and his team! A++

  • Review 6 (2020-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    I highly recommend Dennis for your small engine repair jobs. He gave me an accurate quote and very fair pricing not to mention the local pick up and delivery service from Dennis himself saved me a lot of money and time. He is knowledgeable and his whole staff is accommodating and helpful. I had an oil leak and the repair had failed almost immediately due to a bad seal and Dennis made it right at no cost to me within a couple of days. I could not be more impressed with the level of customer service provided and I will be using this shop again for all of my small engine needs!

  • Review 7 (2019-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend!!!! Our lawn mower drive belt broke and we called Dennis on a Monday to see if he could fix it. He made a special trip to come pick it up Tuesday morning and a special trip to deliver our fixed mower on Wednesday evening (at my request, since I couldnā€™t leave work early). The repair was perfect! He charged us cost for the belt and labor was very fair and affordable. Call him first for all your small engine repairs! Heā€™s really nice and super easy to work with too! Thanks Dennis! We will use him in the future, hopefully not for a while though!

  • Review 8 (2020-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    I highly recommend Dennis for your small engine repair needs. He is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and has very fair pricing wise. The fact that he can pick up / deliver was a lifesaver for me given my tractor wasnt functional and I had no way to transport it. Without a doubt we will reach out to Dennis again with any small engine needs. Ive already passed on his name / contact to several friends.

  • Review 9 (2021-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis Small Engine Repair and Maintenance LLC was recommended to me by a friend. I am so happy I took their advise and contacted this company as I was not disappointed. Dennis is honest, fair, informative and a truly knows how to treat people. I wish more business owners were like him as I would no longer be afraid of being taken advantage of if they were. Thank you Dennis for helping me and treating me like I was family, for that I am forever grateful and recommend your services to anyone looking for a kind, honest business man who truly cares about helping people.

  • Review 10 (2021-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    Two neighbors recommended Dennis and Iā€™m glad they did. I have a 12-year old two stage snow blower that needed a few issues fixed. Dennis promptly picked up my machine, fixed the issues I knew I had and fixed a few issues I didnā€™t know I had. When he dropped off my machine he showed me exactly what was wrong and why it needed fixed. Prompt, honest, reasonable prices. Highly recommend

  • Review 11 (2021-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis and his team were great. Had a bit of an accident on the way to drop off my mower to them, and the team jumped right up to help me clean up the broken glass with their shop vac. Customer service was great, and he really went above and beyond to make sure I left a happy customer at the end.

  • Review 12 (2019-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    It is unfortunate that Google only allows me to rate Dennis 5 stars; he deserves more than 5 stars. I decided to purchase a riding mower last week, and Dennis insisted on doing a tune-up on it for me before delivering the mower. Yes, he delivered it and wanted to make sure the mower was running smoothly before selling it to me. I donā€™t know which part is more shocking. But Dennis didnā€™t stop thereā€”which was already more than any other shop would have doneā€”he stuck around and helped me mow my yard!The price for the mower was great, the speed of service was outstanding, and the quality of the entire transaction was phenomenal. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found an honest, top-notch repairman.

  • Review 13 (2019-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Adding to my review below: I needed repairs again this year to my 13-year-old John Deere. Once gain, supremely satisfied! Changed a drive belt, sharpened blades, oil change and other minor things other shops would have charged a fortune for. Got the tractor back within days and at a great price. He even power washed it. Second year in a row Iā€™ve received superior service.First, to spell one other reviewerā€™s comment that if good reviews show up here it is likely family and friends. I am neither of Dennisā€™ BUT he will be my small engine repair guy from now on!I had the deck belt go on my John Deer. Ok, I can replace a starter solenoid and a few other things but I donā€™t do deck belts. I stopped by Dennisā€™ shops and he said heā€™d pick up and deliver my mower the next Monday. I asked him about tune ups and he gave me a great price.My JD was delivered by that Monday night.Iā€™ve used mobile repair folks before (usually two-week wait) and Dennis even power washed the engine. Iā€™ve never heard it run so well.Look, this guy is for real. Heā€™s going to get busy because he is all about the customer.

  • Review 14 (2021-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    Brought my mower in for hard starting. Dennis was personable and professional. Gave it a much needed tune-up and now it starts on 1 pull like it did 15 years ago! Prices are fair and was ready within a week. Thanks...I like supporting my local businesses and spreading the word to neighbors and friends.

  • Review 15 (2021-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    I Highly recommend Dennis Small Engine Repair! His business offers immediate, (within 24 hours), at home Pick-Up Service, with quick turn-around delivery, with a machine that works like new! ā™” He is very knowledgeable and Professional concerning all types, makes and models of small engines! He has repaired my home Generator, Scooter/moped, and my big Husqvarna snow blower. Ive had other mechanics work on my engines in the past, but no one as thorough and accomodating as Dennis company. ....Dennis has been a Godsend to me!

  • Review 16 (2021-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    I dropped my snowblower off for repair earlier this week and Dennis said it would take 3-5 days to complete and he was done in less than 24 hours at a great price! He also priced out repairs for another snowblower I have and I will be utilizing him for any small gas engine repairs I have in the future. 5 stars and I highly recommend to all!

  • Review 17 (2020-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend Dennis Small Engine Repair. Needed a simple fix on our snowblower and he did not charge us an arm and a leg. Very nice and honest guy. Definitely worth the 5 stars! We will be using his service again and sending business his way.

  • Review 18 (2020-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great service! We dropped our mower off and were able to pick it up within a few hours. Pricing is very reasonable--theyre not the type of people who will mark-up the price for a single part a bazillion times.I definitely recommend this place, and I will be taking my lawn mower here again if there are future issues.

  • Review 19 (2020-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    I am a local small business and when I needed some small engine work, I looked locally. I found Dennis and took a shot. Dennis was nothing short of amazing. I was in a bind and had a piece of equipment down. He dropped everything, took care of it and got me back in business. Now round two. Same situation, different piece of equipment. Same treatment a year later, and this time he had to come to my job site and fix the equipment for me. Again, got me back up and running in a timeframe I would never have expected. Dennis will always have my business. I honestly canā€™t say enough great things about this business.

  • Review 20 (2024-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis was awesome. Not only was he knowledgeable about my issue, but he treated it right away. Hard to ask for more.

  • Review 21 (2021-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis repaired my older pressure washer at a very reasonable price. After getting it home I found another small issue and returned it to Dennis. He fixed it and didnt charge me. Dennis is very reasonable and honest.

  • Review 22 (2022-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    We have had many different types of small engines worked on at different times. Reasonable turnaround time, readonable cost for service, gives good advice, recommendation and tskes extra steps when needed. We are small business owners and appreciate the good service and quality of service.

  • Review 23 (2021-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis makes it happen. With less and less time to take care of repairs myself, Im relieved to have found someone I trust with my small engine work. This is one of the few organizations I do business with that truly demonstrate integrity regardless of supervision. Thank you for what you do!

  • Review 24 (2020-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Dennis worked on my snowblower back in November ( it wouldnā€™t run and needed some tune up) then when I went to use it for the first time this winter the auger broke. When I went to take it back to have Dennis fix it, he gave me one of the snowblowers he had in exchange. He didnā€™t have to do this it wasnā€™t his fault the auger broke but this is just the kind of business he runs, very fair and tries to help everyone out. Highly recommend

  • Review 25 (2020-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend Dennis. Definitely a 5star service. Thank you for the quick turnaround time on repairing our generator and the affordable pricing. We will definitely be using your services again.

  • Review 26 (2021-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    Went in to buy a coil for my toro lawn mower. Dennis had the part for 1/2 the price of the Ann Arbor mower shop. installed the part and the mower started first pull. P.S they had some nice used mowers at a great price. Thanks.

  • Review 27 (2023-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Associate was friendly and I enjoyed my first experience with the facility.Looking forward to the generator operating again since DTE is less then a dependable service.

  • Review 28 (2021-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great!! We will recommend and will for sure be back! Staff was very helpful and pleasant! Kendryn helped us load up. Got dads rotatiller and our push lawn mower running like new! Thank you Dennis repairs it was a pleasure!!

  • Review 29 (2020-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    My mower wouldnt start. I took it to Dennis.It was a fuse or something easy. He replaced the fuse at no cost and sent me on my way. Dennis has a customer for life. Great experience.

  • Review 30 (2021-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Small engine genius. Great communication. Fast turnaround time for professionals who rely on their equipment to make a living. Very fair pricing...our 30yr old generator now runs like the day we bought it

  • Review 31 (2021-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    The place is an 11 out of 10! Dennis the owner does amazing work running this place! I had him fix my power washer it was running good - I refilled the gas with my own and it had water in it - fixed it for free! Amazing service and super helpful - any more issues I ever have I will be going back for sure!

  • Review 32 (2021-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    I brought my 2 year old snow blower into Dennis and his guys a few weeks ago, and in less than two days it was back in my garage. They are through, professional, and expeditious! Thank you.

  • Review 33 (2020-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    So glad I found Dennis - great person, great service, great experience. This is definitely a guy you want to add to your list of people youā€™ll need throughout life from time to time. Very happy I now have ā€œmy engine guyā€. Thanks again, Dennis.

  • Review 36 (2022-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    I saw a recommendation for Dennis on Next Door. He picked up my mower the next day and had it fixed in a few weeks. Works great and was affordable.

    Dennis did exactly what he said heā€™d do and showed up when he said he would. Thatā€™s almost impossible to find these days. Heā€™s a genuine person who does great work.

  • Review 41 (2022-10-21 - Rating: 5)

    Good job on fixing my edger. Took a little longer than expected, but completely they are short staffed and understand how hard it is to find employees these days.

  • Review 44 (2023-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    I like to deal with businesses near me so I called Dennis Small Engine Repair and Dennis answered right away. I asked if he could pickup and deliver my Toro snow blower that would not start and told him I had the mechanism that turns the rotor blades attached with a zip tie and asked him to fix that also. Later that day he stopped by, picked the snow blower up and said hed bring it back the next day running like new. I could not believe it! True to his word at 5:30 PM the next day he returned with it and it indeed was running like new. Thats the best service Ive ever had! I told him. The bill was very reasonable also and I highly recommend Dennis Small Engine Repair to ALL who have a problem with their machines!!! Thank you Dennis!

  • Review 48 (2021-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    We want to give a shout out to Dennis and thank him for all of his help with our riding mower! We bought our mower from Dennis two years ago and it has run flawlessly ever since. Even after the sale, he kept in touch with us to make sure everything was running smooth and if we need any service on the mower, heā€™d be there to help. We recently had an engine issue that we knew we couldnā€™t fix ourselves. Dennis was more than happy to come to our house, load up the mower and take it back to his shop for diagnosis. Within a couple of days, he corrected the issue and said there was no need buy a replacement mower! We canā€™t thank Dennis enough for his courtesy, knowledge and commitment to making sure his customers are a priority!

  • Review 49 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 59 (2019-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    I have NEVER received such fast, responsive service from anywhere!!! Dennis answered the phone first time. He made arrangements to come pick up my snow blower. And literally within less than 2 hours, he called saying he was done. I dont want to create false expectations - I did luck out and catch him at a less busy time, but holy cow, he didnt let any grass grow under his feet! He also gave me instructions on how to avoid the same problem next year. Highly recommend. I will send my lawnmower next lol

  • Review 62 (2019-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    They do not make snow throwers like they used-to. My 524SE started surging about two years ago. Did the usual flushing of it with carb cleaners. None of which worked.The local lawn and tractor place in South Lyon charges $120 an hour to work on anything, a $100 for a new carb, and $60 for a pickup. In the end, Dennis replaced the carb and plug, put new gaskets in it, and picked up for $25. My total cost was less than $100.Nice guy. He has a shop full of lawnmowers and tractors of all types. We were swapping stories of some of the ones he had picked up where the owners no longer wanted them.He had a waiting list of things to work on and it took two weeks to get it back. It was late July when he picked up so it did not matter to me. Delivered it back at my house. it started right up, and no surging.Job well done, Thank you.Bill
