About This Repair Shop
Western Hills’ Neighborhood Mechanical Partner
In the heart of Cincinnati’s West Side, Sess Boys Services has quickly become a go-to resource for "neighbors helping neighbors." Established in 2021 by Nicholas Sess and operated as a true family-run shop, the business is built on a simple, urgent reality: the grass doesn't stop growing.
Located conveniently on Glenway Avenue (right behind Skyline Chili), we provide the "informed confidence" that your equipment will be back in your hands quickly and running like new. Whether it's the peak of the mowing season or the first snow of winter, we treat your gear with the urgency and care that a local neighbor deserves.
Versatile Small Engine Restoration
We believe that if it has a small engine, it’s worth saving. Our service department specializes in the technical restoration of residential and light commercial equipment, moving beyond quick fixes to ensure long-term reliability for the Western Hills community.
Our Specialized Technical and Maintenance Services:
- Fuel System Recovery: Expert carburetor cleaning, rebuilding, and stabilization to combat modern ethanol-related issues.
- Engine Optimization: Full tune-ups, ignition troubleshooting, and complete engine overhauls for all major platforms.
- Chassis & Deck Care: Precision deck leveling, belt replacements, and complex self-propelled system adjustments.
- Cutting Edge Precision: Professional blade sharpening and balancing to ensure a clean cut and reduced engine vibration.
The Sess Boys Edge: Fast Turnaround and Broad Expertise
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to speed without sacrificing technical precision. Our edge lies in our ability to service almost any brand, including Toro, Honda, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt, without the weeks-long waitlists found at larger dealerships.
We are experts in the primary engines that power the American backyard, including Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Kawasaki. From lawn tractors and walk-behinds to pressure washers and generators, we prioritize getting your tools back to the job site. We even offer specialized off-season maintenance for snow blowers, ensuring you’re never caught off guard by a Cincinnati winter.
A Family-Operated Commitment to the Community
The vibe at Sess Boys Services is hands-on, professional, and deeply rooted in the Covedale and Western Hills neighborhoods. Nicholas and the Sess family handle everything from high-level diagnostics to direct customer interactions, providing a personal touch that corporate retail chains simply can't match.
We are a versatile "mechanical, home, and grounds" partner, ready to tackle everything from a snapped starter rope to a full engine overhaul. Visit us on Glenway Avenue—but be sure to call (513) 706-5037 first—as we’re often out on service calls helping our neighbors keep their properties in peak condition. At Sess Boys, we don't just fix tools; we support your home’s curb appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about lawn mower repair services
Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In Cincinnati, OH, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.
Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.
Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.
Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in Cincinnati, OH when shops are busiest.
Yes. Most repair shops in Cincinnati, OH service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.
Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.
Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.
