I would never shop anywhere else - PartsTree is a life-saver!!
Learn why Mike's Small Engine Repair owner Mike Smith has been a loyal PartsTree.com customer for 5+ years.
I’ve been running Mike’s Small Engine Repair for the better part of two decades, and in that time, I’ve seen just about every make and model of lawn mower, chainsaw, trimmer, and snowblower you can imagine come through my shop. Some of them are brand new and just need a tune-up, but plenty are older models where parts aren’t exactly sitting on a shelf down the street. That’s where PartsTree.com has been a real game-changer for me.
I first stumbled across their site a little over five years ago when I was trying to track down a carburetor for an out-of-production mower. Not only did they have it, but their diagrams made it easy to confirm it was the exact part I needed. Since then, I’ve made PartsTree.com my first stop anytime a customer brings in something unusual or discontinued.
What I appreciate most is the consistency. Whether I’m looking for a replacement spindle, recoil starter, or something as small as a washer, I know I can find it there without spending hours searching. Their parts lookup is straightforward, their inventory is broad, and shipping has always been dependable.
It might not be the most exciting part of running a repair business, but knowing I can reliably source the right parts means I can get my customers’ equipment back to them faster and with fewer headaches. After more than five years of orders, I can honestly say PartsTree.com has become an indispensable part of how I keep my shop running smoothly.
PartsTree keeps our crews cutting and our downtime low.
The team at GreenScape Pros has relied on PartsTree to keep their 45+ riding mowers in service day after day for over 10 years.
I’m the head mechanic for GreenScape Pros, a landscaping company with over twenty crews running mowers, trimmers, blowers, and anything else with a small engine. My job is to keep all of that equipment running — which, on a good week, feels like juggling chainsaws while riding a zero-turn mower. On a bad week… well, let’s just say it’s a lot more juggling and a lot less riding.
Before I discovered PartsTree.com, “ordering a replacement part” was code for “prepare to wait two weeks and explain to the boss why three crews are sitting around drinking coffee instead of cutting lawns.” Between the downtime, the wrong parts showing up, and the headaches of figuring out exactly which of the 14 different models of carburetor fit a particular mower, it was enough to make a guy consider a career change.
Then one of my crew leads told me about PartsTree. I tried them once, half-expecting another disappointment, but instead I found a site that actually made my life easier. Their diagrams are crystal clear, so I’m not guessing at part numbers anymore. The selection covers every brand we run, from the oldest push mower in the shed to the newest zero-turns fresh off the trailer. And the best part? They ship fast. I’ve had parts on my workbench in as little as two days.
That speed matters. Every day a mower is down costs us money — a lot of money. Over the past couple of years, I’ve calculated that PartsTree has saved us thousands by cutting downtime to a fraction of what it used to be. Crews stay out in the field, jobs get done on schedule, and my boss doesn’t have to hear me muttering about “parts purgatory” anymore.
Don’t get me wrong — machines will always break, and I’ll always have grease under my fingernails. But now, when something gives out, I don’t panic. I just pull up PartsTree, find the part in a couple of clicks, and know it’ll be here before I’ve even finished clearing the workbench. It’s not magic, but for a mechanic who’s seen the alternative, it sure feels close.
PartsTree has been with me since day one—helping my shop grow and keep customers happy.
Miguel Alvarez, Owner of Alvarez Outdoor Power has been a PartsTree customer for 3 years.
When I opened Alvarez Outdoor Power three years ago, I knew the competition would be fierce. I started with just a small garage, a few tools, and a lot of ambition. But in this business, the real test is keeping customers’ machines running during the peak seasons. One delay, and they might not come back.
That’s when I found PartsTree.
I first discovered them when a customer brought me a riding mower that needed an unusual deck belt configuration. I spent hours calling local distributors and searching online. Most sites didn’t have the exact part, or they offered generic substitutes. PartsTree not only had the OEM belt in stock, but their exploded diagrams made it easy for me to confirm it was the right one.
From that moment on, PartsTree became my go-to supplier. Over the next three years, I’ve used their site to source everything from carburetor kits for two-stroke trimmers to ignition modules for commercial zero-turn mowers. When I log in, I know I’m going to find the right part, fast. Their search filters, diagrams, and compatibility information save me hours every week.
Reliability isn’t just about finding the right part—it’s also about getting it quickly. Spring and summer are non-stop for me. If a part takes two weeks to arrive, my customer will find another shop. With PartsTree, I can usually get parts within days—sometimes next-day—and that makes all the difference.
I also really value their customer support team. They know their stuff. If I have a question about a superseded part number or a discontinued model, I get an answer right away. That level of service builds trust.
Now, with a growing customer base and a second technician on staff, I can honestly say PartsTree has been a key factor in my success. They’ve allowed me to focus on the repairs instead of chasing down hard-to-find parts. For a small business owner, that’s priceless.
PartsTree has been with me from day one. I couldn’t have built this business without them.
PartsTree helped me save my grandfather’s beloved mower.
David never fixed a lawnmower before, but since it was more than a lawnmower to him, he relied on PartsTree to help him get the job done.
When I pulled my grandfather’s old lawnmower out of the shed last spring, I honestly thought it was the end of the road for it. It had been sitting there for over a decade, gathering dust and rust, and it wouldn’t start no matter how many times I yanked the pull cord. I’d never repaired a mower before, and the sensible part of me said to just buy a new one. But this wasn’t just any mower — it was the one my grandfather used to mow his yard every Saturday morning, rain or shine. I grew up watching him push it across his perfectly straight rows, hearing its steady hum, smelling the fresh cut grass. Throwing it away felt like throwing away a piece of him.
I decided I had to at least try. I didn’t have a clue where to begin until I stumbled onto PartsTree.com. At first, I figured it was just another online parts store, but it turned out to be much more than that. The site helped me identify the exact model of my mower just by walking me through the manufacturer details and serial number. Once I had that, I could see an exploded diagram of every part on it — something I didn’t even know existed.
I followed their guides to troubleshoot what might be wrong, and sure enough, I found the culprit: a cracked carburetor. PartsTree had it in stock, ready to ship. I ordered it, half-expecting the wrong part to arrive (because that’s been my experience with other projects). But a few days later, there it was, exactly as described.
Installing it was easier than I imagined thanks to the diagram and a little courage. The real moment came when I topped off the gas, primed it, and pulled the cord. On the second pull, that old mower roared back to life, just like I remembered. I stood there for a while, listening to it run, feeling something between pride and gratitude.
It’s just a lawnmower, I suppose — but to me, it’s a family keepsake. Now I use it to mow my own lawn, and every time I do, I think about my grandfather and those summer mornings. Without PartsTree, I would’ve given up before I even started.
They didn’t just sell me a part; they helped me save a piece of family history. That’s something I’ll always be thankful for.
