About This Repair Shop

Keeping St. Paul Productive Since 1960

In the Twin Cities, our outdoor power equipment has to weather everything from thick spring grass to the heavy demands of a professional job site. Since 1960, Reed's Sales and Service has been the reliable partner for St. Paul homeowners and contractors alike. For over 65 years, our family-owned shop has been the place where neighbors bring their gear when they need it fixed right the first time, grounded in the belief that honest work builds lasting relationships.

Owner Gia Nelson and her team bring a sense of "informed confidence" to every repair, whether it's a routine check-up or a complex mechanical overhaul. We understand that your tools are an investment, and our goal is to keep them performing at their peak so you can focus on the job at hand without the frustration of equipment failure.

Mastery Over Every Engine

A stalling motor or a sluggish compressor shouldn't be the reason your weekend project falls behind. Our factory-trained technicians perform most repairs in-house, ensuring a level of craftsmanship that saves you both time and money. We don't just treat the symptoms; we optimize your machinery for long-term reliability.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

  • High-precision carburetor cleans and rebuilds for mowers and handheld blowers.
  • Full engine diagnostics and performance tuning for zero-turns and riding mowers.
  • Routine seasonal maintenance, including oil changes, spark plug service, and gas line inspections.
  • Specialized tool repair for air compressors, pneumatic tools, and electric power tools.
  • Factory-authorized warranty service for major brands including Toro, Echo, and Shindaiwa.

The Reed's Edge

What truly sets us apart is our dual expertise in both outdoor power and professional-grade power tools. We aren't just a mower shop; we are a hub for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who rely on everything from Milwaukee drills to Snapper mowers. Because we are a factory-authorized service center, we can often provide warranty-covered repairs at no cost to you, a technical advantage many smaller shops can't offer.

Our facility houses a massive inventory of OEM parts and accessories, from batteries to Sawzall blades. If you prefer the hands-on approach of a DIY fix, our parts department is ready to get you exactly what you need. If you're still having trouble after a service, we stand firmly behind our work and encourage you to stop back in so we can make it right.

A Community Pillar

The vibe at Reed's Sales and Service is professional, helpful, and neighborly. We’ve been a staple of the St. Paul community for over six decades because we prioritize the long-term health of your equipment over a quick sale. When you walk through our doors, you’re greeted by a team that understands the technical nuances of both the yard and the workshop.

We look forward to ensuring everyone in the Twin Cities has the professional-grade gear and expert service they need to get the job done right. Whether you need a simple blade exchange or a complete engine rebuild, we are here to keep your equipment running right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about lawn mower repair services

Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In St Paul, MN, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.

Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.

If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in St Paul, MN when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in St Paul, MN service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.

Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.

Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.

Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.

Regularly change the oil, clean or replace air filters, sharpen blades, and use fresh fuel with stabilizer. These simple tasks prevent most common problems.
