I talked with Carl about getting a weedeater for commercial use. He listened to what I had to say and took me to what he recommended. It was a great fit for my lawn care business. Great products and even better customer service.

Took a older mower in to get fixed, after a few days found out they dont make parts for it anymore. Called and said to pick it up, no charge even after trying several alternative options. Great service, knowledgeable staff and always treated with courtesy

Still waiting. Brought mower in 03/29/21. We seem to have a lot of communication problems. Im going to hope it improves. Wish I had written down the dates, time and name of each person that I had conversations with. As it is I have no way to prove my complaint.Kathy Mellard...Update 05/03/21. Mower is complete. Spoke with Alex. Very polite . My questions answered respectfully. I will change my rating of 2 stars to 4 stars. 4.5 stars not available and I will take half of the blame on miscommunications .

They always have exactly what I need for my lawn mower, weed eater, chainsaw. If you stump them, they can order anything you need, and quick. Their service team is top notch. Very knowledgeable. They make you feel good about shopping there. Miles away from the Big Box cold shoulder those other stores give you.

Ask about policies before ordering and read fine print. Certain items are not returnable even if not used. This company definitely needs to correct there return policies. I also experienced horrible customer service when trying to return.

Completely geared towards commercial only they do not care about individuals needing repairs. They just want to sell you a brand new mower. If I now need Snapper parts or service at a fraction of your price I now go to the Rental Ranch.

No only do they employ bait-and-switch offers and overcharge for the service, they’re arrogant and rudeI’ve started dealing with a smaller shop that is like dealing with a neighbor and a friend. They also are a FRACTION of the price with better results.Don’t say you weren’t warned!

SERVICE AND REPAIRS: Theyre not the cheapest nor the fastest due to how busy they keep but I wont take my lawn gear anywhere else, love the work and dependability of machines after they leave the shop. Anyone in the field knows this is the spot for professional lawn machine service and repair. Excellent integrity and have done business with maximum for a decade now.

Carl and the Maximum team helped select the right mowers for the right types of projects, their prices were very fair, and the follow up service was excellent. We had some issues due to our operation of one of the machines, and they helped us work through them over the course of several phone calls and even offered to bring out a replacement (knowing that we were under some tight timeframes). We would definitely recommend Maximum to folks who need to purchase or repair mowing equipment.

Review №44

Went to get a pulley that came off my deck of my mower. Took the part . Also brought year and model of mower. Set the part on the counter. The person grabbed it. I told them I had the year and model. Said it wasnt needed.Got the part and was told I needed to take something off of old part and use. Drove back home. Did as I was told on old part. Took 20 minutes. They gave me wrong part. Wasted 20 minutes plus another trip from Haysville.I was very upset. Being a business owner, I avoid sales people who dont take the time to get right part. I let the sales person know this. They come over and said I was acting like an ass.Found out the parts manager was in on getting wrong part. I complained about them not checking on their computer for the part, I was still a little mad about it. Got the part. Said I wouldnt be back. He called me a jerk.Then he said customers are not always right. In this case he was wrong.

I have never been disappointed by the service here in either their parts or repair department. Today I had thr pleasure of being helped by Keith. He took the time to assist me in getting the right part I needed and then installed it for me. In addition he gave me practical advise to help me extend the life of my chainsaw. I would highly recommend this business for parts, service, and your lawncare equipment needs.

Review №46

I have known and dealt with Maximum Outdoor Equipment for over 15 years. The parts department has a vast stock of parts for most any lawn mower or piece of outdoor equipment in service today, if by chance they dont they will usually have it with in 2 business days. The service department is knowledgeable as well as efficient, when they work on my mowers I know they have been fixed right. They always call with a quote of the required repairs and the cost involved as well as when to expect it to be done. Maximum is a family owned and operated business, with Midwestern values and ethics that stand beyond the sale.

Review №47

Terrible staff. Violent and volatile. Repairs only the symptoms, not the problem.Update to response: Post the video of your funny guy doing exactly what the other 1 Star posters have to say about you and your establishment, (acting rudely). My receipt was in my pocket, neatly folded. My 3 year old son was with me as your staff member went into a rage. They also refused to help load my mower, even after the funny little guy you run, had offered to help. 3 month warranty? After it was winterized?...I am not known to mow the snow guys. Dirt was left in the tank after the previous carb install you had performed. Further, these guys on your payroll claim that dirt can enter the gas tank through the air filter... nice try. I could keep going, but why? The truth will prevail!..

Review №48

Buyer beware....absolutely the worst customer service I have ever received from a so called professional shop. I got screwed for a $30 service charge on a Echo chainsaw I bought 10 days ago and they told me I had water in the gas which was a bold face lie, they don’t care at all about the customer after the sell because they will not refund your money on the product. I highly recommend that you go elsewhere to buy any kind out outdoor equipment this place is a joke.If your planning on buying a tool/outdoor equipment from this place please understand that they not return or warranty the tool as they will charge you a $30 service charge for warrantied items, that they will make up a lie and claim it was your fault. Your better off buying from A big box store.2.3 star rating is for a good reason and should be way lower.

Do not buy, order or have your equipment serviced here by PAUL (the owner maybe?), Keith, and Luke or anyone else from this company. They have no idea what they are doing and it will cost you your time and money GUARANTEED..

My first visit was good. Got parts for my mower and the older gentleman had a great knowledge base. Second was good also. Same gentleman. 3rd trip young anus guy said I cant find what you need without a engine serial # I did have the mower model number and engine size and type. Simple 12.5 flat head b&s. He just sat there like I was bothering him for being there. He didnt bother to ask any of the 13 other people working there or try to look it up. Guy was a solid pile and lost me as their customer. He was a younger early 30s late 20s guy with a dumb look on his face.

Maximum Outdoor Equipment charged me $31 to tell me that it would cost me another $110 (for a total of $141) to replace the fuel line and carburetor on my weed eater. I said No. I took it to Petersons Small Engine Repair in Maize where they laughed and said, We dont charge to look at it. And how could they know that you need a new carburetor before they replace the fuel line?

Beware of counter personnel wanting to charge you list price. Saved over 40 bucks online and did not have to deal with an arrogant millennial!2) Wow! I do try to buy local, why do you think you received this review? You have not addressed the elephant in the room. Some of your personnel do not have any customer service skills. TRAIN THEM! i purchased a pulley from you a month or so ago and paid $19.99 and now you wanted to charge me $29.99 and I would have to pay upfront for the 3 I needed, since you only had one in stock. The gentlemen who helped me was rude and disrespectful. That is why I purchased online!

I saw alot of bad reviews so I I thought id share mine. Walked in, dropped off a chainsaw for service, ordered a muffler, had a nice chat and walked out. Im really not too sure why there are so many negative reviews, the place was perfectly clean and the guys seemed to want to help out as much as they can. Cant say a bad thing about them.

Review №78

When your mower has a problem or needs service, simply pass their South West street location and go elsewhere. Took my mower to them as it had a carburetor flooding problem. Left it with them and even indicated that the carburetors needle and seat was most likely the culprit ( I have some experience with gas engines). They told me that I would receive a call within 2 days, to provide an estimate on repairs. 8 days later I finally get a call saying the cost was around $200.00 .I gave the go ahead to make the repairs, and got my mower back 3 days later. Motor was cleaned and I got a small bag of replaced parts( 2 small hose clamps, one small $2.00 fuel filter, an air filter, an oil change, and what was itemized as a carburetor rebuild). Brought the mower home and noticed the same black smoke emanating from the exhaust. The mower ran another 10 mins. and died from a rich fuel mixture. I have come to the conclusion that this service department, cleaned the engine, changed the oil and air filter, replaced a fuel filter, and screwed me out of $200.00. Will never set foot in the place again...!

I dealt with the parts department manager. I guess I expected better customer service skills... while disputing a false charge on my visa card, I was told by him that he deals with guys like me all the time, and I was just trying to screw them over, and when I tried to respond, he hung up on me. For a moment, I thought I should expect better...but then again this guy is just a stressed out small engine shop counter man. And so I shrugged it off and contacted my Visa card customer service dept, and received full credit for my false charge. Not sure about sales or service, but the parts dept is a joke. If I could rate them with less than 1 star I would have. Buyer be ware.

Review №89

I wish I could give a massive negative star rating. These guys are probably the worse, most shady, crooked, greedy, money hungry people I have ever had to deal with. I took my mower in to them for repair. Granted it is an older mower (2003 Dixon ZTR), but I was having issues with it driving straight. Called and they said all it needed was an adjustment and should be no more than $40.00. Sounds great, I thought. They call not even a couple hours later telling me its going to be $1200.00 in labor and they cant even get parts for it anymore. So I ended up paying the $40, even though I suspect they didnt put a single tool on it. At this point I think I am hosed, until I find a private guy on craigslist that agreed to look at it after I told him this story of rubbish. He tells me that parts for this mower are not only real easy to find, but also VERY inexpensive. Within 20 minutes this guy had my mower driving straight, and running better than it did before. All for $20.00. Maximum Outdoor is going to try and take as much money from you without providing you any kind of service. They are out for their wallets, not the customer. They have horrific customer service and I would recommend NEVER using them for anything; whether its servicing a mower or buying a $20k mower. Go somewhere else, where youll be treated like a customer instead of a walking dollar bill.

Review №99

After years of occasionally using maximum with no issues whatsoever, I buy a starter for a riding lawn mower last Saturday and was not told beforehand that there was no returns on electrical items. Turns out I had a bad battery and not a starter issue and when I tried to return the starter, they informed me there was no returns. That I can deal with, but the rude employees behind the counter telling me that it was standard across all automotive and industrial shops not to take back electrical parts, when I have taken back electrical items, starters and alternators in particular, with no issues at more than one place, then it is not a standard practice across the industry. Yes, I got upset, because I should have been told beforehand about the non return policy as compared to it being written on the back of the invoice after I paid the money and was unable to return it. Did I get a little mouthy, probably, because of the belligerent non helpful attitude of the two people behind the counter. As I walked out the door the guy wish me a good day and something along the lines of seeing me soon. I told him probably not and as I walked out the door a gentleman was walking in with a battery and I looked at him and said be careful they dont rake Returns on electric items, and the jerk that was very unhelpful stepped out the door yelling at me that I was now trespassing and get the hell out of there. Great customer service folks!
