About This Repair Shop

Spokane’s Specialist for Everything with an Engine

Tucked away down the alley on North Wall Street, Loose Nuts Small Engine & Motorcycle Repair is where mechanical expertise meets old-school kindness. Owned and operated by Dennis Allour, this shop has become Spokane’s go-to "Homebase" for anything with a pull cord or an ignition. Whether you’re a homeowner struggling with a mower that’s sat for a decade or a rider looking to get your Goldwing back on the open road, Dennis brings informed confidence and a genuine passion for "turning wrenches" to every job.

We know that your weekend plans depend on your gear working when you need it. That’s why we pride ourselves on being fast, honest, and incredibly fair. It’s not uncommon for Dennis to have a mower up and running in an hour or to finish a snowblower tune-up the same day you drop it off. At Loose Nuts, we don’t just fix machines; we treat our customers like neighbors—complete with a few friendly pet ducks to greet you when you arrive.

From Weed Whackers to Motorcycles

Our versatility is our greatest strength. We specialize in the full spectrum of small engine and powersports equipment, handling everything from mid-range quads and dirt bikes to handheld blowers. We have a deep understanding of the engineering behind major brands like Honda, Kawasaki, and Briggs & Stratton, ensuring that even out-of-production models get the care they need to run like new.

Our Professional Maintenance and Repair Services:

  • Full engine rebuilds and top-end service for motorcycles and ATVs.
  • Same-day mower tune-ups and oil changes to keep your lawn in check.
  • Expert carburetor cleaning and fuel system service for stubborn starters.
  • Seasonal snowblower service to ensure you’re never caught off guard by a storm.
  • Precision diagnostics and ignition repair for leaf blowers and weed whackers.

The Loose Nuts Edge

What truly sets us apart is Dennis’s "if it don't go, you don't owe" philosophy. We believe in total transparency; if a machine isn't worth fixing, we’ll tell you straight and even walk you through what to look for in a replacement, free of charge. We’ve spent years helping Spokane residents diagnose issues over the phone because we prioritize your hard-earned money and your safety over a quick sale. When you bring your equipment to Dennis, you’re getting thirty-plus years of mechanical intuition and a bargain-priced repair that stands the test of time.

A Hilarious and Humble Atmosphere

The vibe at Loose Nuts is professional, high-energy, and uniquely Spokane. Dennis is a "character" in the best sense of the word—hilarious, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. We’ve built a loyal following because we communicate clearly, quote reasonably, and often exceed expectations on turnaround times. Whether you're a new mower buyer looking for advice or a seasoned rider needing a complex rebuild, you’ll leave our shop with your equipment running perfect and a smile on your face. We look forward to seeing you (and your machines) next season!

Best lawn mower repair in Spokane, WA — Loose Nuts is the place to go if you want to get your repairs done right, quickly and at a fair price. I dropped off my dead and leaky snowblower the day after I called. They were turning wrenches on it before I walked out of the shop. Within a couple hours I got a call saying they got it running great. I plan to go back again to this no nonsense guy and his grandson in the off season to get some additional worn parts replaced.

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 Spokane, WA, 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 Spokane, WA when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in Spokane, WA 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.
