About This Repair Shop

Expert Small Engine Care with a Family Legacy

In Omaha, when the seasons shift from summer mowing to winter snow removal, you need a mechanic who understands the grit and grind of outdoor power equipment. Established in 2010, Small Engine Recycling and Repair LLC was born from a desire to move beyond "punching the clock" and return to the roots of quality, hands-on service. Located on S 90th St, owner Jon Roethler brings a lifetime of experience to the shop, having grown up in his family’s small engine business in Sioux City before opening his own doors in Nebraska.

Whether you’re a homeowner struggling with a stubborn pull cord or a professional needing a quick turnaround on a fleet of blowers, Jon and his team provide informed confidence. We don't just fix engines; we advocate for the long-term health of your machinery. Our unique focus on both repair and recycling means we have a deep understanding of what makes a machine last—and what causes them to fail—allowing us to offer honest, practical advice to every customer.

Comprehensive Service from Mowers to Snow Blowers

We pride ourselves on being a versatile resource for the Omaha community. Our technicians are well-versed in the technical nuances of both gas-powered and modern electric equipment. We understand the frustration of a machine that won't start when you need it most, which is why we prioritize clear communication and thorough diagnostics to get you back to work as quickly as possible.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

  • Full Engine Diagnostics: Expert troubleshooting for Honda, Briggs & Stratton, and Tecumseh engines.
  • Seasonal Readiness: Comprehensive snow blower servicing and lawn mower tune-ups.
  • Precision Repair: Specialized service for chainsaws, trimmers, and riding mowers.
  • Critical Maintenance: Oil changes, fuel system flushes, and spark plug replacements.
  • Warranty & Recycling: Authorized service and parts sourcing to save you money on major repairs.
  • Convenience: Pick-up and delivery options to take the hassle out of equipment transport.

The Small Engine Recycling Edge

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to being an honest, neighborly resource. We’ve built our reputation on going the extra mile—whether that’s helping a customer swap out a blade in five minutes or helping navigate a difficult warranty repair on a new machine. Because we grew up in this industry, we know that a little bit of kindness and technical expertise goes a long way in building a "customer for life."

We offer a wide selection of both new and used equipment, providing affordable options for every budget. Our parts department is highly efficient, often shipping parts quickly or sourcing components that save our customers hundreds of dollars over buying new. When you bring your equipment to us, you’re trusting a team that treats every machine with the same care they would their own family’s gear.

The vibe at Small Engine Recycling and Repair is professional, straightforward, and helpful. We open early at 8:00 AM most weekdays to ensure our neighbors can get their equipment dropped off and their day started. We are proud to be a local business where the owner is frequently on the floor, sharing information and ensuring every job meets our high standards.

We look forward to helping you keep your yard and driveway clear all year long. Stop by our shop on 90th Street and see why Omaha residents trust Jon and the team for reliable, expert service that stands the test of time.

Fair lawn mower maintenance at Small Engine Recycling and Repair LLC in Omaha. Guy only interested in money, customer service terrible. I bought a used mower that only ran for 20 feet and ceased.

Professional lawn mower service service at Small Engine Recycling and Repair LLC, Omaha. Took my mower in to get the blade changed because I couldn't get the bolt off. They were very kind and switched out the blade in less than five minutes. I'll be returning for all of my lawn equipment repair needs in the future!

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 Omaha, NE, 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 Omaha, NE when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in Omaha, NE 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.
