K & L Lawnmower

A Riverside Industrial Fixture Since 1989

In the heart of the Riverside industrial area, K & L Lawnmower has spent over 35 years building a reputation on mechanical integrity and straight talk. Established on April 28, 1989, and led by principal owner Lewis Hardy, this family-operated shop is a "service-first" facility that prioritizes high-quality workmanship over high-volume retail sales.

We don’t just fix machines; we provide "informed confidence" by ensuring every piece of equipment—from a family push mower to a professional landscaping fleet—leaves our bay in peak functional condition. We treat your tools as essential assets, ensuring they are ready to perform the moment they hit the grass.

Specialized Small Engine Diagnostics

We understand that modern engine technology, from 2-cycle mixed-gas tools to complex 4-cycle machinery, requires a specialized touch. Our service department is built on a commitment to "doing the job right the first time," focusing on the technical nuances that keep the Inland Empire's green industry moving.

Our Specialized Technical and Maintenance Services:

• Engine Troubleshooting: Expert diagnostics to solve stubborn starting issues, rough idling, and power loss.
• Fuel System Restoration: Essential services including carburetor rebuilding and meticulous fuel line replacement.
• Precision Maintenance: Complete lawnmower tune-ups, technical oil changes, and spark plug replacements.
• Cutting Edge Care: Professional blade sharpening and specialized repair for chainsaws and leaf blowers.

The K & L Edge: Independent Versatility

What truly sets us apart is our deliberate independence. Unlike "big box" stores or single-brand flagships, our edge lies in our ability to offer unbiased repair advice across all major platforms. We provide a neutral space for honest assessments of your equipment's health.

We are experts in the mechanical requirements of Honda, STIHL, ECHO, and Husqvarna, with the technical depth to service engines from Kawasaki, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Tecumseh. This versatility allows us to source components for almost any machine—including older or discontinued models—regardless of where it was originally purchased.

A No-Nonsense Approach to Service

The vibe at K & L Lawnmower is professional, transparent, and deeply grounded in our 35-year history. Lewis Hardy is a "wrench-in-hand" owner who personally oversees complex diagnostics to ensure every customer receives a dependable assessment.

We believe in clear communication—if a repair is a cost-effective investment, we’ll tell you; if a machine is nearing the end of its functional life, we’ll tell you that, too.
