Stay away from Moscariello Equipment Inc. in Acton, MA. They?re dishonest.
I brought in my lawn mower because it wouldn?t start. Two weeks later they called me to say I could pick it up: it was fixed. The repair person said he flushed it out and put in a new spark plug. He said there was water in it and that I should get new gasoline (and get rid of my old gasoline). On the way home I did buy a new gasoline tank and fill it with new gas.
When I got home I did not add any gasoline because Moscariello had filled it with gas. However, I could not start my mower. I brought the mower back to Moscariello and expressed my concern the mower didn?t work. The salesperson?s response was ?It?s only a lawn mower,? implying that I shouldn?t be upset that I spent $56.00 and my mower wasn?t repaired and that I had to spend an additional hour of my time driving back and forth to Moscariello.
The salesperson opened up the carburetor and said there was water in it. When I explained that I didn?t add any gasoline, he said ?You?re lying,? that I put water into the mower. He said they?d fix it. Two days later I called. He said it was fixed and that they were charging me for the water in the mower and if I wanted the mower back, I?d have to pay the charge. I said there was no way I was going to pay for additional repair when they never fixed the mower to begin with.
Though I am now without a mower, anyone considering having their mower or any other equipment repaired at Moscariello should stay away. They?re dishonest and unethical. Their customer service is real old-school: the customer be dammed. They?re great at taking customers? money but, buyer beware, they won?t stand by their repair work.
Cons: Dishonest. Bad customer service.
