Small Engine Specialists

Powering Lincoln’s Landscapes Since 1990

In Nebraska, our yards and landscapes are a point of pride, but keeping them in peak condition requires equipment that never quits. Since 1990, Small Engine Specialists (SES) has served as the trusted backbone for Lincoln homeowners and professionals alike. Originally founded by Dan Fink and now led by his son Brady, our shop represents 36 years of family-owned dedication to quality and hometown service that you simply won't find at a big-box retailer.

As a second-generation family business, we bring a level of "informed confidence" to every machine on our bench. We believe that your lawn care results start with the performance of your equipment. That’s why we don’t just hand you a box; we ensure every piece of gear is fully assembled, tested, and ready to work the moment it hits your grass.

Mastery Over Every Engine

Whether you are prepping for the first mow of spring or clearing a heavy Nebraska snowfall, your tools need to be reliable. Our experienced technicians specialize in the technical nuances of small engines, moving beyond basic fixes to provide the deep diagnostics and maintenance required for long-term equipment health.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

• Full mower service and tune-ups to ensure peak engine performance and fuel efficiency.
• High-precision blade and chain sharpening for mowers, chainsaws, and pole saws.
• Comprehensive diagnostics and repairs for trimmers, edgers, and blowers.
• Pre-season snow blower prep to ensure reliability before the first flake falls.
• Certified service for industry-leading brands including Exmark, Toro, ECHO, and Stihl.

The SES Edge

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to "service after the sale." While mass merchants might offer a low price, discriminating consumers know that the real value lies in expert support. We specialize in high-performance gear and maintain a deep knowledge of the specific brands we carry, allowing us to provide a level of personalized care that ensures your investment lasts for decades, not just seasons.

Our team doesn't just repair equipment; we provide the professional advice you need to feel confident in your gear. We take the time to walk you through your equipment’s features and maintenance requirements, ensuring you have the knowledge to prevent breakdowns before they happen.

A Community Pillar

The vibe at Small Engine Specialists is professional, dependable, and neighborly. We’ve been a staple of the Lincoln community for over 30 years because we prioritize honesty and quality over a quick sale. When you walk through our doors, you’re greeted by a team that grew up in the shop and understands exactly what it takes to keep your outdoor power equipment running right.

We look forward to ensuring everyone in Lincoln has the professional-grade gear and expert support they need to get the job done right. Whether you’re buying new or repairing a trusted tool, we’re here to help you experience the difference that family-owned expertise makes.
