⚡ Exclusive Hot Springs Dealer

The mower Alex picked because he repairs the rest for a living.

After years of cleaning the same gummed carbs and replacing the same broken pull-cord recoils, Alex chose a single electric mower line to carry — the brand you'll see at Lowe's. Quiet enough for 7 AM in a Hot Springs neighborhood, powerful enough for July, missing every part that fails on a gas mower.

Buy it at Lowe's, or come see one running in person at the shop. Either way, the service lives right here — you don't drive to Little Rock for warranty work.

02 — Why Alex

A shop that runs the way a shop should.

Independent. Local. Honest pricing. No surprise fees. We tell you what's wrong before we touch a wrench.

01

Local & independent

Not a chain. Not a franchise. A Hot Springs repair shop that treats your equipment like our own — because we live here too.

02

Fair pricing

We charge for the work, not the brand on the door. No $150 diagnostic fees. No surprise charges. You hear the cost before we start.

03

Fast turnaround

Most repairs done in 1–3 days. Spring tune-ups often same-day if you drop early. Your lawn doesn't wait, neither do we.

04

Every brand

Briggs, Honda, Kohler, Kawasaki, Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Deere, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Toro — we know them all.

05

Free pickup

Can't bring it in? Wednesdays we run a pickup & delivery route across Garland County. Call to get on the schedule.

06

Honest about electric

We service both gas and electric. We'll tell you straight which one fits your yard, your back, and your budget — no upsell.

03 — How it works

Drop it off. We'll take it from here.

No black-box "we'll call you." Every step is named and approved before the work happens.

i.

Drop off or pickup

Walk in, drop in the after-hours box, or get on the Wednesday route.

ii.

Free diagnosis

We tell you what's wrong, the part cost, and the labor — before anything is committed.

05 — Reviews

What people say after picking up.

Real Hot Springs customers, real machines. We don't pay for reviews.

★★★★★
Alex had my riding mower running better than the day I bought it. Fair price, fast turnaround, and he explained everything he did. Won't go anywhere else.
— Hot Springs / Riding Mower
★★★★★
Took my chainsaw in after it sat two years. Cleaned the carb, replaced the plug, fired right up. $50. Would have been $200 at the dealer.
— Lake Hamilton / Chainsaw
★★★★★
The only small engine shop in Hot Springs that actually calls you back. Honest, reliable, and knows his stuff.

06 — FAQ

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, call or text the shop. We answer the phone the same way we fix mowers — directly.

Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
No. Standard shop visits are $0 to bring in and have us look. We tell you the cost of the repair before we start any work, so there's no surprise.
How fast is the turnaround?
Most repairs are done in 1–3 days. Spring tune-ups during peak season can stretch to a week, so dropping early in March is smart. Same-day on simple jobs like blade sharpening or chain loops.
Do you work on the electric mower brand sold at Lowe's?
Yes — Alex is the exclusive local dealer for that line. We service it under warranty, diagnose the BMS, test the cell groups, and stock common replacement parts. You don't have to drive to Little Rock.
Can you pick up and deliver?
Yes — Wednesdays only, 8 AM – 5 PM, across Hot Springs, Lake Hamilton, Jessieville, Royal, Mountain Pine, and the rest of Garland County. Call or text to get on the route.
What brands do you service?
Briggs & Stratton, Honda, Kohler, Kawasaki, Tecumseh, Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, John Deere, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Toro, and most others. If it has a small engine, we work on it.
Cash, check, or card?
All three. We take credit/debit cards at the counter.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
90-day workmanship warranty on all labor. If something we touched fails inside that window, we make it right.
Do I need an appointment?
No — walk-ins are welcome any time during open hours (Mon–Fri, 8 AM – 5 PM). For pickup & delivery scheduling, call ahead.
