Tiller And Cultivator Repair

When your tiller or cultivator won’t start- or worse, stops working mid-job- it can bring your whole project to a halt. Whether you’re turning soil for a backyard garden or prepping beds for a full landscaping job, dependable equipment is a must. That’s where we come in.

At Swift Small Engine Repair, we specialize in fast, reliable tiller and cultivator repair. We bring the tools and experience to fix your equipment wherever you are. Our goal? To keep your machines running strong so you can focus on the work that matters.

A Story That Stuck With Us

One of our favorite calls came from a local non-profit that teaches kids about gardening. They had been donated a handful of older tillers and cultivators—great equipment, just a little rough around the edges.

They asked if we could help get the machines running again so they could use them for hands-on education programs throughout Northern Virginia. Of course, we were all in. We picked them up, gave each one a thorough tune-up, replaced the necessary parts, cleaned up the fuel systems, and brought them back to life.

Now those machines are being used to teach kids how to plant, grow, and care for their own gardens- something that will stick with them for a lifetime. That’s the kind of work that makes us proud to do what I do.
