    Talking Snow Blower Mechanics?

    Does anyone know of a good mechanic that repairs snow blowers?
    Looking for a good one that won't charge me and arm and a leg.

    Thanks

    Where abouts do you live? My hubby just had his fixed last year from this guy here in Stittsville. Was pretty dirt cheap to fix.

    The guy in the Stittsville Industrial park is very good, but Chris lives at the opposite end of the world.

    Nepean Kanata Air Cooled Engines 243 Westbrook Rd, Kanata (Note that despite the name this is in Stittsville)

    You should also get it into a shop soon as they are already very backed up (no one ever gets their snowblower tuned up until they need it).

    The one my hubby went to was on Main street in Stittsville and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the place

    I found this guy in Convent Glen who really knows his stuff. The first guy I took it to thought it couldn't be fixed; however now it looks like it can. It's going to take a new carb, but it should be back to blowing snow next week. If you need work done on any small engines including outboard motors Brian is his name on Voyageur Drive. 613-830-1851

    I'm surprised that running your Nikon D80 through it damaged the carb.

    I've had this dark cloud over me for awhile now. I sure hope I shake it in the coming new year.

    The only positive thing that has happened is getting married to my most excellent bride Robin Oct 24. Outside of that I got the shanks, dropped and broke my camera to a tune of $370 to repair, my snow blower blew up, my credit card was compromised and I had to repair the car after someone smashed the driver front quarter panel.

    Now you see... that is all karma for you being so lucky to have married such a fabulous babe! You had to have a few bad things happen to you to restore the natural equilibrium of your universe.
    Congratulations BTW . Please pass along my best wishes to Robin as well.
