My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Bre, because I lost $10k in tools and eqpt in a crash in 2015 on my drive to NY from SW Florida when I blew a tire at 75mph, jacknifed, trailer axle broke, truck totaled, I had to retire. I've recently begun obtaining some tools so I can get back to small engine repair if only as a hobby. For that reason alone your videos are invaluable to me. I also love the entertainment and educational value. You are my small engine guru! I'm a retired car mechanic who's too old and arthritic to be back in it. I'm living vicariously through your videos!

Some people making videos are a waste of time, even if they know what they are doing, they fail at relating in a clear and understandable manner. Your presentations make me want to go repair something. You really make so much sense when you explain something. Thanks for the excellent tips and presentations. Harry

He refuses to ask me for help or advice… until I started watching your channel over a year ago. My little secret is you. You asked if you helped with your knowledge and advice.. you can’t hear me on the other side of screen but I yell “yes” after every episode. Not only have you saved me money and many hours of fixing frustrations, you have given me the knowledge to teach my dad a few things. Many many thanks to you!!

I have replaced all my tools with electric, have electric cars, and build e-bikes. I still enjoy working on these filthy gas burners. And your videos are the best!

hey ckicanic, you are damn cool im a 74 year old who recently decided to school myself on a different trade and am now into learning and practicing working on rider mower problems . gotta tell you , there are an awful lot of dummies out here on you tube that don't really know what they are trying to pass on as knowledge in this field. then i came across a couple of videos of yours and opened my eyes to what real know how is I've solved several of my issues with your suggestions several times after getting half baked ideas from a lot of the others. i'll keep watching and subscribing as long as you keep making them and i have the need to. thanks for what you do very well. tony, so jersey.

Thank you for getting my power washer started this spring, and for preventing me from running it on idle! You rock! Also, hilarious to see you getting more ‘relaxed’ as the video went on. Have another beer!

You deserve it girl. I just found your channel a little over an hour ago. I have to admit, your tutorials are spot on. You do not miss a thing. That is how I learn best. I like to know the why's and what happens if, etc. And you seem to cover them all. I will eventually watch all of your videos Im sure. They are well made and you are an exceptional mechanic and teacher. I admit I am impressed. Keep it up. Thanks👊💯

I really find your videos informative and backed up with common sense. I first went to school for marine and small engine repair from 1976-1978. My High School had a multi district Vo Tech on site. Those were pretty good times because due to overcrowding we had double sessions, i was able to start at 6:30 and then leave for my full time job at 10:30 working as a motorcycle mechanic (we also sold and serviced Stihl power equipment). Now fast forward 45+ years and a number of different jobs ranging from building submarines (winding up as a journeyman machinist), logging, carpentry, automotive mechanic (with multiple national awards along the way), Tech Rep for Snap On Tools, and so on. I only mention this to point out that I will never be too old to stop learning. You have pointed out many things that I just forgot over the years so i like to sit with my coffee in the AM and have my brain "Tuned Up Again". Thank you for your content and common sense approach to problems.

Thank You , Keeps me from forgetting pointers that you have previously pointed out, since I do not have a repair business, I take care of my own equipment, saves me a lot of time and money, again Thank You.

I just started watching your videos. You are a fantastic teacher! You explain things so that it is easy to understand even for novice mechanics.

I winterized my Echo 225 string trimmer as you suggested, pouring the whole bottle of oil into my fuel tank. It started like I used it yesterday. THANK YOU. Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers. You deserve them!

I enjoy watching and since I live on 2 acres, you have saved my bacon many times in keeping my lawn mower and weed eater running . Good luck staying sane with the summer rush. Keep videos coming for us diyers.

I work on all my small engines, but your tip on water in the stored gas is great! I keep my tanks drained & dry after last cut of the year. Has been a game changer for sure. Thanks for all you do. 😊

Thank you, Bree, for taking the time to educate your viewers. Your videos have helped me on several occasions. I have also helped some friends with their lawn equipment problems. The vast majority of the issues that I've encountered were fuel related with water being #1. Your tip on how to get the diaphragm on a chainsaw flexible again has also helped several times. Let the education continue.

Found you by necessity! What a great help to all of us machine dummies!! Starting to “binge” on all your video!

I love your channel. You have (and will) save me so much on small engine repair. Most of all you save time because I don't have to drive to the small engine repair shop. Thanks and keep it up!!!😬

The pressure washer thing is the most common thing we dealt with (during the sporing and summer) when I worked in a tool rental/repair place. We'd always ask our customers how long they'd let it run without it being actually used. And most of them would say, "Oh, just a few minutes. I'd start it and let it warm up before I start using it. Then it might sit for a bit while I did a couple other things between actually using it." Yep, that's why your pump failed and locked up. If no water is flowing through it, then it's really not being cooled. And just about every time, they'd opt to just buy a new pressure washer (rather begrudgingly) rather than have the pump replaced. And as far as the ethanol free gas goes, I just use fuel stabilizer/ethanol remover in mine. I put in regular gas, then add in the stabilizer. I've never, ever had an issue with one of my 2-stroke machines starting. Even my chainsaw that might sit for over a year before use. I don't drain the fuel out during the winter for "storage", either. I've been told that it'll ruin my engines. But I've never had an issue with any of them starting. And I've had them all for years and have been doing this the entire time. Granted, I live in the south, like you, so our grass cutting season is longer than places where the winter is an actual 3-5 months long (our is maybe a month). Still...
