Harold’s Lawn Mower Repair

Locally owned shop. I have taken my weed whacker their several times for a tuneup, to replace the plastic fuel lines when it they have gone bad, and to replace the pull line. The have completed their work in a reasonable amount of time although you must be prepared for a wait if they will be out of town or they have a heavy backlog of other jobs. I also took two of my lawnmowers there for sharpening as well and when I got it back, what a difference it made on my lawn! This shop is run by two brothers who took over the family business from their father. It is located directly across from the Humane Society. beware though.,. parking is VERY limited and you will probably need to park in a stall used by the macaroon shop located next door.

I LOVE Harold’s Lawn Mower Repair!!! Like most repair places, you don’t know if they’ll try to rip you off, try to upsell you on what you should get done, etc. All I can say is that I will never take my equipment anywhere else– Harold’s was very up front, immediately recognizing what needed to be done and gave a better quote that what I expected. AND to top it off, he’s super nice! I almost hate to write this review so I can keep this «secret» but I only feel it’s fair to reward deserving businesses like his.

Local business, honest and great service.
I brought in a weed trimmer and a power washer that wouldn’t start. Bobby fixed the weed trimmer on the sidewalk outside his shop, no charge. He cleaned up the carburetor on the power washer right away. $ 20 total. Nice guy,

I love it when a humble, local business out performs the mainland big boys. Sure it’s rustic, but who needs fancy and flashy when repairing a sting trimmer or lawn mower? Not me, I don’t plan on eating off their floors or asking Harry for a massage, although he is such a nice guy he’d probably give you one if you asked. All I want is my weed whacker repaired so that I can finish cutting the grass without having to buy a new one! When it comes to repairing my small engines what I want is a quick, quality repair, done at a great price, and no one does that better than Harry.

Bought my mower for change oil. Also blade sharpened, small carb clean water out, changed air filter and replacement catcher bag. Harold is very fair with pricing did not keep charging me. He could of added more charge I will bring all my lawn machines here!!!

My mower wouldn’t start, even after I installed a new spark plug, put in new gas and oil, and cleaned the carburetor. I brought it to Harold’s on a Saturday without an appointment and expected to leave it and pick it up a week or so later. To my surprise, Jason (?) looked at it immediately, and after checking the spark plug, carburetor, etc., found the problem. He had the needed replacement parts so he was able to complete the repair in about 30 minutes total. He even adjusted the motor speed — now the mower doesn’t quit when the grass is tall. Fantastic service, and very fair price. Bravo.

Harold’s Lawn Mower impressed me with fast and friendly service. I felt like I was working with an expert mechanic that I knew for years!
I brought my lawn mower in without calling in advance… described the issues and they looked at it right away… Jason dropped what he was doing to take care of me. He was able to find out what was wrong in less than 5 minutes and he took the time to explain the problem to me so that it could be prevented in the future – AWESOME! I also got my blades sharpened while I was there.
From what I learned, Harold’s Lawn Repair is a local family run business. Harold has passed away but now his kin are running the shop. Mowers and landscape equipment is in their blood!
Couple things you ought to know before going:
–Cash or check only. No Credit Cards.
–Parking is extremely limited. Its just before the entrance to the H-​1 Easbound and there’s no median to load/​unload. Just be patient.

Brought my electric law mower here because of all the positive Unilocal reviews. Called some other places but many said they don’t work on electric. When I called Harold’s, they took the time for me to explain that I only needed the blade tightened so it will cut the grass. They said they could work on it. Got my blade sharpened too! All for $ 20 flat! And finished the same day! Also got to see the biggest pile of weed whackers in the world. They must be going for some kinds of Guinness world record.

Seems like there are not too much small engine repair spots around town. Drive all the way from mililani to manoa to get a 1 yr old weed eater repaired. Heard good things about Harolds so decided to give it a shot.
Not sure if its Harolds son running things now but a younger 30ish gent seemed to be doing a one man operation. Lawnmowers and alike are crammed in the store and its really just a counter at that. The guy told me he would check it out.cool. Told him the craftsman was less than $ 100 brand new at sears and if it was more than $ 20-​$ 40 I would pass. Later that day I got a call from Harolds. Dude talks mechanics lingo and in a nut shell says $ 80. Pass. Fast forward 3 days and now same guy is calling me up saying pick it up asap or he’s gonna toss it. The ticket he gave me said 30 days but I guess that changed. Told him next Mon. was my next day off but he wants it gone today. Seemed like it was «grab it» or I’m keeping it. Not cool. We’ll…looks like I’m headed to manoa.

Took my lawn mower in because it would not start. Rolled the mower up to the door. Tried starting the mower in his presence, but it did not turn over. Harold checked the air filter and the gas line. Opened up an area that I would not have known was there. Drained the gas and told me that I had water in the gas line. Asked me to try starting it up and it cranked over immediately. Say 10 minutes and for a nominal charge, I was out of there. The guy is great. I expected to leave the mower for a few days so this was a pleasant surprise.

I have used Harold’ Lawn Mower over and over. The first one was when my friend’s lawnmower wouldn’t start (Kaneohe). Since I work in Honolulu i decided to drop it off. Pau the next day. Spent 35 $. The next was when my own B&S lawnmower wouldn’t start and i needed to clean it off… couldn’t find any parts anywhere (even Sears) so decided to pick up a washer, primer bulb and lock screw for 3 $. Yey again. Since i live in Mililani, Harold’s Lawn Mower Repair is the most convenient store i could reach. Don’t be surprised they are a little rugged (place and looks), they are the real deal. I call them the «Duck Dynasty» of Lawnmowers. :-)

Went over to Harold’s (around 1:30 — 2:00 pm, last Friday) because I knew exactly where it was having pass by there entering the King Street H-​1 Freeway ramp, but didn’t find a parking space, so ended up entering the Freeway and taking the 6^th Avenue exit. When I finally figured out that I could park next to the apartments next door, I was able to turn my two McLane (one motorized, and one manual) lawnmowers to get the blades sharpened. I mentioned to him that I’m only out in Kaimuki on Fridays and staying overnight so I could pick them back up the following Saturday, but he said he might be able to get it back to me by the next day. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful because most other places would take much longer. He called and left a message that evening telling me they were ready, and what time he would be opened on Sat. He even tuned up the clutch of my motorized McLane. So I have to give him props for excellent service and accommodation to my schedule.

I have a Scrapper mower about five years old. Miscued and hit the blade hard on a concrete curb, bent the damn shaft so badly that it couldn’t turn/​start. Took it to Harold Jr and he said he would try and straighten it out. Got it in a week and works like a gem. spoke to his bro Harry, nice guys and they take care of their customers. Any part from equipment you need, they have it… somewhere. Recommend them highly. I called their competition and they wouldn’t touch it for under a million bucks. You’ll get good value from Harold’s. Guarantee. Local from Kaimuki.

Harold’s is a second generation lawn mower repair shop. The shop looks like dirt & grease and the owners are gruff over the phone. My MTD Yardman lawn mower had been sitting outside unused for 2 years. I tried getting it to start with fresh motor oil, fresh gas, and Dw40, but ended up breaking the housing for the cable that you yank on to start the mower. That’s an $ 8 part online + shipping so I called Harold’s for a free estimate. I dropped it off on Friday 5pm, and got it back Saturday 11am. When my lawnmower came back it’d been cleaned off, the starter cable & housing replaced, and the blades sharpened for $ 55. I had toyed with buying a new lawn mower for a couple hundred dollars, but when I mowed the lawn, my lawn mower worked better than it’s had in the last decade — started on the first pull, cut grass easily. It’s cut the time I needed to mow my large lawn in half. Harold’s gets plenty of business — there were 15 lawnmowers waiting for pickup from repair when I went to get mine. It’s located across from the Human Society, park in one of the few stalls near the bakery next door.

I have gotten my rotory mower, my mom’s reel mower, and my tiller fixed or serviced by Harold’s. They are fast, reliable, locally owned, and cheap. Where other places wanted to take 3 – 5 weeks to repair my stuff, I usually get it back from Harold’s with about a week.
