Packages cover the regular maintenance. For a machine that won’t start, won’t stay running or is making a new sound, call or text with the make and model and we’ll take a look. Pickup and drop-off are available for every job.
Call or text with the make and model for a quote on your machine.
Riders, stand-ons, push mowers, saws and generators. A few oldies but goodies roll in for some much-needed TLC, too.













I’m Matthew Smith, and Strafford Small Engine Repair is my home based and mobile repair service. We work by appointment so every machine gets individual attention, at a competitive price.
Call or text and I’ll set up a time. I can pick your equipment up or you can drop it off, and when it’s a quick fix, sometimes I can take care of it right there.
Local, honest, reliable. That’s the whole idea.
“When it’s more than ‘ain’t got no gas in it.’”

Service your mower before you run it. A proper inspection often means taking the covers off to find the problem, because rodents nest in parked equipment and cause damage.

Skipped maintenance can cause serious carburetor trouble and leave your equipment unusable. Schedule a service today. Pickup and drop-off are available.
Get on the pickup schedule before the season starts.

“Called Strafford Small Engine Repair and set up a pickup. Matthew showed up exactly when he said he would, took a look, and instead of hauling it off, he said he could probably fix it right there.
About 10 minutes later, I was back up and mowing. …
Super knowledgeable, straight shooter, fair pricing, and didn’t try to turn it into something bigger than it was.”
“He came to my home assessed the situation and ordered the parts. He was back within the week to fix my mower. He was knowledgeable, fast, and a very kind man. His prices were amazing. Definitely found my new mower maintenance man.”
