Local business. Better selection of quality equipment from experienced staff- fully serviced ready to go to work. Service after the sale. Better than equipment sold by big box store made to their specs. Reasonable prices on top of the line models. Where you can have a friend in the business.

Seems parts can take a month or more to get. Had to drive to the store twice due to the wrong part being ordered. They do not offer drop shipment. Staff appear knowledgeable and courteous.

Very knowledgeable staff. They have a great selection of equipment for all price points. Delivery was great and on time (almost to the minute). Mower was clean, deck leveled and topped off with fuel ready to go. Another honest, hard working small business. Something we need more of. Highly recommend.

I took my Husqvarna leaf blower(I also have a Husqvarna chainsaw and lawn mower) in for repair last week and was told it could be 4 to 6 weeks depending on parts that may be needed which is understandable. Received a call from Tony the owner 4 days later and told me my blower had been repaired and I could pick it up. Really appreciated them repairing my Backpack Blower so quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, they didn't order have to order any unnecessary parts and charge me for them. Honesty and integrity mean a lot to me. Upon picking my leaf blower up, Tony took the time to explain what he did and even explained and recommended to run the premix fuel to help my Husqvarna equipment run at optimal performance.Again, I truly appreciate their honesty and knowledgeable service. I try to shop local and support small businesses wherever possible. I highly recommend them!!

This is my first on-line review in 46 years. John and Tony set the bar for customer service. Great product, great service, and family owned. I had an issue with my lawn tractor, they picked it up the next day and returned it fully repaired within 24hrs! I would recommend them without reservation.

I bought a riding mower and just requested service for the upcoming season. They are always kind and helpful. I don't own a truck and they delivered my mower and are picking it up for its service. I'm very happy to do business with such great people!

Was a great experience to do business with. Good customer service, knowledgeable staff, and top of the line equipment will keep me coming back for future items needed to do the chores I really don't want to do.

Poor Customer Service! Took a lawn mower into them and paid $45 for them to look at it to determine why it would not start. I was told that they would be able to get to it the following week and they would let me know what was wrong. After a week had past and I had not heard from them I called and was told it was going to take two weeks that they had ordered the wrong part and they had reordered the new part. A little surprised that that they had not contacted me with a cost estimate, I asked how much it was going to cost. I was told it was going to be $200 because their hourly charge is $95 per hour, so I opted to not have the part installed and told them I would be out to pick up the mower the following day. Upon picking up the mower, I found it was dismantled and not reassembled in the original condition in which I delivered it to them.So I asked why they had not reassembled it in the original condition and was told that it was not worth their time. In addition once I got it home I found it was missing the spark plug and some bolts. I call that extremely poor customer service. Maybe, they should take a different perspective and think about whether or not they could have a good returning customer! You will need them because this customer will never give you any business!

Very helpful, personable, and straight forward. What you see is what you get, and you get a great group of folks who care about their customers. Time for a new mower? I know where I'll be getting mine!

I bought a mower last weekend from this company, and received top notch service. The people were very knowledgeable and it's always great to support a local business. 5 stars!

I purchased an Ariens Zero-turn mower from a MD based dealer and it was lost in transit (and still hasn't been found by UPS Freight). The mower was going to be delivered to my son's new home and the one acre of grass had not been cut in weeks. I was desperate to find another local source for a mower and found LaVoie Equipment Sales via an internet search.I initially spoke with Johnny, the grandson of the owner and he did not have the model I was seeking. Shortly after I hung up, he called me back and told me he wanted to help me. After several calls, I was impressed with Johnny's willingness to assist me and to find a mower that fit my budget. I secured some additional information overnight from my son about the storage shed dimensions where the mower would be housed.Johnny offered me a significant discount on an Ariens 52 inch XL model, which was an upgrade over what I had ordered from the MD dealer. It provided 10 inches add'l. width, bigger tires and a commercial trans-axle. I bit the bullet on the extra cost because Johnny offered to deliver it this afternoon so my son can cut the grass tonight!!This review just evaluates the service received from LaVoie Equipment Sales during the sale...it has been superb! Johnny was wonderful to deal with, took the time to answer my numerous questions and was very efficient in finalizing the sale over the phone. I'm confident the post-sale service will be every bit as good as the service extended to me today.I highly recommend LaVoie Equipment Sales. I'm adding this review to the other excellent ones provided by their prior customers. Thanks for the great sales and service experience Johnny!!Jim RoarkFayetteville, TN

Man..my experience was just the opposite of the last poster. I took them a Husqvarna leaf blower that had been rendered inoperative due to the ethanol in gas (happens to many small motors). They fixed it in two days, and did an excellent job. They also told me how to avoid the problem in the future, and charged me a very reasonable rate (not $95/hour). The whole bill including two bottles of Ethanol free 50:1 Husky fuel mix came to less than $90.******************************************M. S.**************

Decent place but you can tell they aren't concerned about covid and politics comes up a little too freely for my liking in a business setting.
