About This Repair Shop
Keeping Hollywood Greener Since 1980
In South Florida, the grass never stops growing, and neither does the need for reliable equipment. For 46 years, Smith Lawn Mower Services & Repair has been a local fixture on Pembroke Road, helping Hollywood neighbors keep their yards in check. As a long-standing, independent shop, we focus on providing straightforward, affordable maintenance that keeps your gear running without the overhead or hassle of a big dealership.
We operate with a level of "informed confidence" that only comes from nearly half a century of turning wrenches. Whether you are a local homeowner or a regular customer who relies on us to keep your business moving, we specialize in the essential services that extend the life of your equipment.
Mastery Over Every Small Engine
A stubborn pull-cord or a clogged fuel system shouldn't ruin your weekend. Our shop is dedicated to the technical specifics of small engine health, ensuring your mowers and blowers start on the first pull. We focus on high-quality mechanical work that addresses the root cause of engine failure.
Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:
- Expert carburetor rebuilding and cleaning to restore peak engine performance.
- Full engine tune-ups, including spark plug replacement and oil changes.
- Precision blade sharpening for a cleaner cut and a healthier lawn.
- Small engine diagnostics for all major brands, including Honda, Briggs & Stratton, and Kawasaki.
The Smith Repair Edge
What sets us apart is our deep-rooted focus on high-speed, low-cost service. We understand that you need your tools back in the shed, not sitting in a shop for weeks. That is why we offer same-day repairs whenever possible, with some customers getting their mowers fixed while they wait.
Because we specialize strictly in small engine repair—from walk-behind mowers to weed whackers—we have a focused expertise on brands like Toro, Craftsman, and Kohler. We prioritize practical solutions and fair pricing, ensuring you get professional-grade results without the "new equipment" price tag.
A Neighborhood Staple
The vibe at Smith Lawn Mower is exactly what you’d expect from a 40-year-old local shop: it’s grounded, busy, and unpretentious. We are a "cash-friendly" establishment that values efficiency and helping our regulars out of a jam. While we keep our operations lean and traditional, our mechanics are always ready to share their knowledge to help you maintain your gear better.

What People Say About This Shop
I’ve been coming to Smith’s on Pembroke Road for years, and they never cease to amaze me with their speed. I brought in my Craftsman walk-behind that wouldn't start, and they handled the carburetor cleaning while I waited. It’s rare to find a shop in Hollywood that offers same-day mower repairs at such a fair price. If you’re in a jam and need your equipment back immediately, this is the only place to go.
I went to Smith’s because of their reputation for same-day repairs, but that wasn't my experience at all. I dropped off my Toro mower for a basic engine tune-up, and it sat in the shop for over two weeks. Every time I called for an update, I was told they were 'getting to it.' I understand they’ve been in Hollywood for 46 years and they’re busy, but a little more honesty about the turnaround time would have been appreciated.
I honestly don't understand the hype. The staff here has a major attitude problem. I came in asking for a quote on small engine diagnostics for my pressure washer, and the guy behind the counter acted like I was an inconvenience to his day. No 'hello,' just short, grumpy answers. They might know how to fix a mower, but they definitely need a lesson in basic customer service.
These guys have been turning wrenches since 1980, and it shows. I had a complex issue with my Honda engine that two other shops couldn't figure out. The mechanics here performed a full engine diagnostic and identified the problem in minutes. Their carburetor rebuilding service saved me from buying a whole new machine. Truly the go-to experts for small engine repair in Hollywood, FL.
With the grass growing year-round in South Florida, I make sure to bring my gear to Smith Lawn Mower for an annual engine tune-up. They handle the oil change, spark plug replacement, and air filter maintenance quickly and affordably. My mower starts on the first pull every single time. It’s a grounded, unpretentious shop that provides the kind of reliable lawnmower service that’s hard to find these days.
Smith Lawn Mower is a true neighborhood staple. I love the old-school vibe—they are a cash-friendly shop that focuses on practical solutions rather than trying to upsell you on a new unit. I brought in my Briggs & Stratton for a blade sharpening, and the cut quality is now perfect. For 46+ years of experience, their prices are incredibly reasonable. Best value for lawn mower repair in Hollywood!
In my line of work, downtime is lost money. I rely on Smith’s for high-speed repairs on my Kawasaki and Kohler engines. Whether it's a weed whacker fix or a mower belt replacement, they get my tools back in the truck fast. They have a deep-rooted expertise in professional-grade gear. If you run a local crew, you need a shop like this in your corner.
