About This Repair Shop

Keeping San Antonio’s Engines Humming and Go-Karts Rolling

In San Antonio, a stalled mower or a dead generator isn't just a nuisance—it’s a project put on hold. At Big T’s Small Engine Repair, we’ve built our shop on the idea that honest work and a neighborly handshake still mean something.

Located on Glen Breeze, we are a family-owned operation that treats every piece of equipment as if it were our own, whether it’s the weed eater you use every Saturday or the generator you rely on when the Texas grid gets tested.

Versatile Repairs with No Surprises

We don't just stick to the standard lawn equipment; we’re the local experts for almost anything with a pull-start or a spark plug. When you bring your machine to Big T’s, we walk you through the "why" behind the repair, offering clear options and fair pricing so you’re never caught off guard.

Our Specialized Technical and Maintenance Services:

  • Engine diagnostics and repairs for mowers, pressure washers, and farm equipment.
  • Electrical system replacements to ensure reliable starting and operation.
  • Go-kart and recreational repair to get your backyard gear back on the track.
  • Onsite Service: We offer mobile assistance for larger jobs that you can’t easily haul into the shop.

Reliable Service You Can Trust

What truly gives us an edge is our commitment to reliability and safety. We’re not here to just "patch" a problem; we’re here to ensure your engine starts on the first pull every single time. Our technical approach is built on "informed confidence," ensuring your equipment remains a tool, not a headache.

Our facility is fully accessible with free on-site parking, making your drop-off as quick and painless as possible. We prioritize high-quality results that keep your property running smoothly and your family safe.

The Big T’s Vibe

We’re proud to be a small business that focuses on clear communication. We’ve found that most folks just want a straight answer and a machine that works when they need it.

I had a Ryobi leaf blower and was directed to Greg at Big T’s Small Engine Repair. As soon as I arrived, he entered the equipment number and quickly identified what needed to be done. This blower couldn’t be repaired, so he placed the order for a replacement, and by the next morning I received a confirmation text. Couldn’t ask for better service than what I received from Big T’s Small Engine Repair! Highly recommend.

Big T’s Small Engine Repair was extremely helpful and friendly when I needed advice about a battery-powered pruning saw. They knew the required parts weren’t available and saved me an hour’s drive by guiding me over the phone. I provided the saw’s details, which they submitted to the manufacturer, and a replacement saw was approved. The staff was also very pleasant and easy to talk to. Highly recommend them for expert advice and customer-focused service.

I’m a postal worker, and with the heat in our work vehicles, my Ryobi battery-operated fan stopped working. I stopped by Big T’s, and the owner greeted me with professionalism and care. Within seconds, he diagnosed the problem and ordered a new motor. He kept me updated while waiting for the part, and once it arrived, he fixed it promptly. Even with a busy shop, he took the time to acknowledge me and share a few jokes when I picked up the fan. Whether it’s fans, lawn mowers, weed eaters, or go-carts, he can fix them all. Thanks for everything, bossman! Highly recommend Big T’s Small Engine Repair for reliable and friendly service.

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 San Antonio, TX, 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 San Antonio, TX when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in San Antonio, TX 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.

Regularly change the oil, clean or replace air filters, sharpen blades, and use fresh fuel with stabilizer. These simple tasks prevent most common problems.
