It's funny how word gets around when you're able to repair snowblowers, along with other machines. This past weekend I received a couple calls from various people in regards to repairing their Ariens or just doing a regular tuneup. Over the past years, I receive calls from neighbors, friends, and friends of friends. As time progresses, I continue with my regular customers along with one or two extra.
I'll only do work on Ariens and Toro single stage.
The current job I have is replacing a friction disc on a 932xxx. First time doing it on this model, should be easy enough.
I don't really charge anything for these jobs except for the cost of parts and then maybe a few bucks to cover gas for picking up & bringing back the blower. Of course, the customers still give me some extra coin though. I'm just glad to be able to help others instead of having them get screwed over by some small engine mechanics in the area.
I know many of you folks do your own work, but do you go ahead and take on any side jobs, as well?
