Mid-South Small Engines Inc

Keeping Memphis Landscapes Professional Since 1960

In Memphis, where the growing season demands relentless performance, having a mower that won't start is more than a nuisance—it’s a threat to your livelihood. Since 1960, Mid-South Small Engines has been the trusted technical partner for the Bluff City’s landscape professionals and serious homeowners alike. For over six decades, owner Rick Reid has operated on a simple, focused philosophy: do a few things exceptionally well rather than spreading yourself too thin.

We’ve spent 66 years refining our expertise around the industry's most reliable workhorses. We understand that in the professional world, "time is money," which is why we provide the informed confidence you need to keep your fleet running. When you walk through our doors on Mount Moriah Road, you aren't just getting a repair; you’re tapping into a legacy of specialized knowledge that has supported Memphis green spaces for generations.

Mastery Over Every Engine

Small engine maintenance in the Mid-South requires an eye for detail and a deep understanding of high-volume usage. Our service department doesn't just "patch" problems; we focus on precision diagnostics and high-margin parts that extend the life of your equipment. We ensure that when your gear hits the turf, it performs to factory specifications without hesitation.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

• High-precision carburetor cleans to restore power and fuel efficiency to handheld tools.
• Full engine rebuilds and diagnostic overhauls for commercial zero-turn mowers.
• Professional blade sharpening to ensure a clean, healthy cut for every property.
• Authorized, factory-trained service for premier brands like Scag, STIHL, and Toro.
• Specialized maintenance for high-performance Walker and RedMax equipment.

The Mid-South Edge

What truly sets us apart is our disciplined focus. As Rick Reid often says, you don't need four different lines of mowers just to "split the pie." By concentrating on a select group of top-tier brands, we are able to maintain a massive, well-stocked parts inventory that smaller, generalist shops can't match. This means when you need a critical part in the heat of the busy season, we likely have it on the shelf, ready to go.

Because we’ve been computerized since 1988, our inventory management is precise, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve. This focus allows our technicians to be true specialists in Walker and Scag machinery, resulting in a significantly quicker turnaround for your most essential commercial tools.

A Community Pillar

The vibe at Mid-South Small Engines is professional, focused, and authentically Memphis. We’ve been a staple of the Mount Moriah area because we prioritize the long-term health of your equipment over a quick sale. Many of our staff members have been with the team for over 30 years, offering a level of neighborly expertise that you won't find at a big-box retailer.

When you visit us, you’re working with a team that respects the hard work of the landscape professional. We look forward to ensuring every mower in Memphis has the professional-grade parts and expert service it needs to get the job done right.
