I received a caruburetor that had the Air Screw broken off flush with the main body. I talked to several rude people at Pats Small Engine Plus including Brian the manager. He told me that they would be glad to send me another one if I paid for it now and they would only refund me for the defective one once the manafacturer refunded them.

This sounded shady and after I continued to try to make my case that I had not installed the part and it was defective out of the box and I only wanted a replacement sent to me as soon as they received the first one back from me. He insisted that the part had to be sent back to the manafacturer first and that might take 3 to five weeks and he insisted I purchase another one.

I said I already have 2 bad ones (the one that failed and the one I had purchased) and didn't need another one just yet. He finally said to sent the old one back addressed to him and he would check into it. He hung up on me stating he had other upset customers waiting to talk to him.

At this point I still have a broken lawnmower, I have a delivery receipt for shipping the new carburetor back, and they have my $106.90. Somehow, I don't expect this status to change anytime soon.

ALL BEWARE OF PAT'S SMALL ENGINE PLUS!!!!

Completely Disagree

AUTHOR: Big E - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, January 22, 2012

I have been doing business with Pat's since I opened my liitle small engine repair business 5 years ago. Because of the size of my shop, I am not able to maintain a very large parts inventory so I depend on online parts suppliers to stock and quickly deliver the parts I need. Not only does Pat's offer extremely competitive prices but the usually maintain exactly what I need and get it to me timely. I have ordered everything from small carb parts to big ticket engines and they always have been cordial and professional. THe only time I have ever experience any delay was when the parts are backordered at their supplier; which is not something we can hold Pat's responsible for. In my opinion they are a A+ business to work with.

Positive Experience With Pat's

AUTHOR: Erik - (U.S.A.)

I read these complaints about Pat's when I was shopping for a new chainsaw a couple months ago. However, Pat's low price made me take my chances and purchase from them. The saw was delivered quickly and with no damage. After I received the saw, I had some questions about what sort of mixing and bar oil to use, and the customer service department was very responsive and returned my telephone messages promptly.
