Karl's Repair Shop

I purchased a restored John Deere Lawn Tractor from Karl this spring and used it for less than 2 hours to mow. All of the work he did was done poorly and rushed. The head cracked because a foreign object rattled off and fell into the cylinder, nuts fell off the motor mounts, bolts fell off the starter solenoid and fuel pump is now cracked due to the shaking from the motor mounts breaking. I had to wait many months for service at a local small engine repair place as I live 4 hours from Karl. When I contacted Karl about all of these issues that happened he did purchase a new cylinder head ($150) but did not offer any additional help with repair costs all due to his poor mechanical work. He told me he cannot warranty anything else since it ran when it was purchased. The cost of repairs to fix his poor work are now at $800-$1000 so far. Please learn from my mistake and the other poor Google reviews and DO NOT PURCHASE OR HAVE ANYTHING REPAIRED FROM KARL!!!

Unreliable! Called Karl for a repair. He scheduled me with a three week wait. At 8:00PM the night before he was scheduled to come he sent me a text stating he couldn't make it. No reason was provided. No offer to reschedule ASAP was made. No followup at all... just blew me off. I waited 3 weeks for a machine I needed running ASAP for nothing.
