Weed Eater Repair

When your weed eater sputters, stalls, or simply won’t start, your whole day can get thrown off- especially when you’re managing multiple lawns or prepping for the busy season. At Swift Small Engine Repair, we specialize in keeping your string trimmers in top working order with fast, reliable, mobile repair service that comes to you.

Whether you’re a homeowner trying to tame your yard or a landscaper with a fleet of gear, we’ll get your equipment back in action quickly- and make sure it stays that way.

A Real Customer Story: From Replacement to Reliable

Last spring, we got a call from a local landscaping company owner who was facing a tough decision. He had ten weed eaters in his fleet, all of which had seen better days. His initial plan was to replace them entirely before the busy season started.

Before pulling the trigger on thousands of dollars in new equipment, he called us to get a second opinion. After a quick inspection and diagnostic review, we told him the truth- those trimmers still had a solid season in them with the right care.

We gave all ten a full tune-up: cleaned the carburetors, replaced the spark plugs, air filters, and fuel filters, adjusted the throttles, and inspected each starter assembly and fuel line. They fired up strong and were back to working condition.

He was so pleased with the outcome that he gave me a call again the next year-same trimmers, same service, and yes, they lasted him another full season.
