Como Mower Service & Sales

Terrible service! I wish I could give them no stars! Do not go here! It has changed so much over the years I can’t even explain!!! They screwed over my coworker and my father! Not a good place anymore. It’s sad.

Como Mower is a long time business in the Clintonville neighborhood whose customers include both home owners and professional landscaping services. They sell and repair lawn mowers, snow blowers, generators, edgers and the likes. I have had my lawn mower serviced here for over a decade. I can say from experience, they have always been professional and courteous in my dealings with them. They offer helpful advice and will assist in unloading/​loading your equipment, if need be. My lawn mower is old, but runs like new because of annual, or every other year, tune up. Tune up now runs about $ 80 (I can remember when it was about $ 50) which includes sharpening blades, new spark plug & filter, exterior cleaning, oil change and a some gas.
Another service they provide is pick-​up and delivery during the winter months. The way it is suppose to work is when you call them they take your name & number so they can call you back the day before pickup. I have waited for one to two months for that to happen. Last time when I made a follow-​up call regarding pickup, the guy says to me «we have THOUSANDS» of pickups to make and those living closer to the business are the last to be picked up. (If you live within a mile of the business pickup was at no charge) Needless to say, I gave up on the pickup service and just brought it in myself.
Como mowers can get crazy busy in the spring and summer months making turn around time longer than you may want. It is best to bring your equipment in during the winter months. Your service will be quicker.

I know what you’re thinking: «A lawn mowing store that doubles as an art gallery? How tired are you exactly, Sara?» but I swear that this is totally true, although not in the way that you would expect.
Como mower has a resident artist. This resident artist uses a chainsaw and makes big totem-​like wooden sculptures out of old tree trunks. These are some of the most personality-​filled sculptures i’ve seen in a long long while.
Como is a very small store, but if you take the time to stop and go in it has traditional charm and a mini-​museum. Apart from the incredible chainsaw sculptures (which are for sale) there is a collection of antique chainsaws up in the store.
The artist is Jerry Devine and I highly suggest checking his work out. Many of the completed and in process works sit outside the store and leer at the passing cars. They are a delight to behold.
I should also mention that they’re a lawn mower/​chain saw/​etc store that has an incredible sense of ethics when it comes to safety procedures.
