Answers before you load the truck

What kinds of equipment do you repair?

Tri County Small Engine Repair works on push mowers, riding mowers, generators, pressure washers, chainsaws, string trimmers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, outboard motors, and snow blowers. If it runs on a small gas engine, we can diagnose it and get it running again. Same-day drop-off at our Cape Coral shop keeps most jobs moving quickly.

How much does a repair cost?

The price depends on what is wrong, which parts the fix requires, and how much labor time the job takes. A clogged carburetor is a different job than a seized engine, so we start with diagnostics, explain what we found in plain English, and give you an estimate before any work begins. You approve the number first, no surprises.

Do you service my area?

Our shop is at 1010 NE 8th St #8 in Cape Coral, and we serve customers across Lee County and nearby communities, including Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, Estero, Punta Gorda, Matlacha, Pine Island, Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, and Alva. Call (239) 314-8365 to check availability for your address.

How soon can I get my equipment in?

Scheduling depends on the season and the backlog, but we work to book visits as quickly as we can and will tell you honestly what our current timeline looks like when you call. Hurricane season fills up fast for generator repair, so it pays to book before the storms arrive.

Should I bring the equipment in or arrange a visit?

Either works. Many customers drop off mowers, trimmers, or chainsaws at our Cape Coral shop, which is often the fastest route for smaller machines. Larger items like riding mowers or whole-house generators are better discussed on the phone so we can figure out the most practical arrangement for your situation.

What should I do before bringing in my mower or generator?

Drain or stabilize the fuel if the equipment will sit a while, remove any attachments or accessories you want to keep, and clear out old grass clippings or debris so we can see the machine clearly. Bring a note describing the symptoms: when it last ran, what it does when you pull the cord, and any noises you have noticed.

What happens on the day of the repair?

We start with engine diagnostics to pinpoint the cause, then call you with what we found and the estimated cost. Once you approve, we do the work, whether that is a spark plug replacement, carburetor service, or an oil change, and run a full test before returning the equipment. We explain what was done so you know exactly what you paid for.

How do I get my generator ready for hurricane season?

A generator that sat all year needs a check before the first storm watch. Old fuel, a gummed-up carburetor, or a dull spark plug are the usual culprits. Our generator maintenance covers the fuel system, oil, and a test run so you are not troubleshooting it in the dark. Get it serviced in early summer, before the calendar fills up.

Is it worth fixing an old mower or buying a new one?

Often, yes. Most small engine problems come down to fuel, spark, or the carburetor, and those repairs cost far less than a new machine. We run honest diagnostics and will tell you when a repair does not make sense. If the engine is worn out, we say so rather than sell you a fix that will not last.

Why does my engine only run with the choke on?

That is a classic sign of a fuel system problem, usually a carburetor with varnish or debris blocking the jets. Gasoline left in the tank over a Florida summer breaks down and clogs the small passages. A carburetor rebuild and fresh fuel usually solves it, and it is a common fix for mowers and trimmers that sat unused.

What are your hours?

We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Saturdays and Sundays. Stop by the shop at 1010 NE 8th St #8 in Cape Coral during those hours, or call (239) 314-8365 to line up a time that works for you.

Do you offer a tune-up service?

Yes. Our small engine tune up covers the basics that keep equipment running: fresh oil, a new spark plug, a clean air filter, and a look at the fuel system. It is a good fit for mowers at the start of the growing season and for generators before hurricane season hits Cape Coral.
