Craftsman Mower Repair in Simpson, NC — Walk-Ins Welcome
Craftsman has been a staple in American garages for decades — and for good reason. But even the most dependable equipment needs a good mechanic eventually. At Rude Boy Small Engine Repair, we've been fixing Craftsman mowers, tillers, and outdoor power equipment for over 40 years. We know these machines like the back of our hand, and we'll have yours running again before the grass gets out of control. Walk-ins welcome. No appointment. No hassle.
Common Craftsman Problems We Fix
Craftsman equipment is reliable — until it isn't. Here's what lands on our workbench most often:
- Won't start — sitting over winter, bad fuel, or a carburetor that's given up
- Carburetor issues — gummed up, clogged, or flooding the engine
- Belt problems — broken, stretched, or slipping drive and deck belts
- Blade and spindle issues — dull or bent blades, worn spindle bearings, uneven cut
- Electrical faults — bad ignition switches, safety seat sensors, or wiring issues
- Hydrostatic transmission problems — won't move, slipping, or sluggish response
- Oil leaks — valve cover gaskets, crankshaft seals, and more
- Overheating — dirty air filters, low oil, or cooling fin blockages
- Starter problems — recoil starter won't pull or electric starter won't engage
If your Craftsman is giving you grief, bring it in. We'll figure it out.

Pricing & Diagnostics
We start with a diagnostic fee equal to half an hour of labor. If you move forward with the repair, that fee gets credited toward your total — so you're not paying for the diagnosis twice. You'll get a written estimate before we lift a wrench, and we won't go a cent over it without your approval first.
Need it done fast? The $100 rush fee moves your Craftsman straight to the front of the line.
