Get Your Snow Blower Running Before the First Storm

Weiders repairs single-stage and two-stage snow blowers at all three of our Rochester-area stores. Our technicians are on the bench year round, and we work on every brand we can get parts for, whether or not you bought the machine from us.

The best time to bring a snow blower in is September or October. Every year the first real snow fills our benches, and a machine that comes in during a storm week waits behind everything else that came in that morning.

If your machine is too big to load into the car, we'll come get it. Ask about pickup and delivery.

Snow Blower Repairs We Handle

  • Auger and impeller repair
  • Shear pin replacement
  • Drive and auger belt replacement
  • Chute and control cable adjustment
  • Carburetor cleaning and fuel system service
  • Electric start repair
  • Skid shoe and scraper bar replacement
  • Spark plug, recoil and pull cord replacement

Most snow blowers that won't start in November sat all summer with fuel in the tank. Stale gas gums up the carburetor, and the fix is a cleaning or a rebuild rather than a new machine.

Single-Stage and Two-Stage Snow Blowers

Single-stage machines use one auger to pick up snow and throw it out the chute. They're lighter, and the auger paddles and scraper bar wear with use. Two-stage machines add an impeller behind the auger, with more belts, cables and shear pins to maintain, and they're usually the ones that need a pickup.

We repair both, gas and battery.

Toro, EGO, and Other Brands

  • Toro. We repair Toro snow blowers as a paid service. Our Toro warranty repair certification is in progress.
  • EGO. We're an EGO Authorized Dealer and Service Center, so we repair EGO battery snow blowers under warranty. We test the pack, the charger and the machine separately so you're not replacing a battery to fix a smaller problem.
  • Briggs & Stratton. We're certified for warranty work on Briggs & Stratton engines.
  • Everything else. Non-warranty repair is open to Ariens, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Honda, Husqvarna, and any other brand we can get parts for. Call the store nearest you if you're not sure.

Snow Blower Tune-Up

A seasonal tune-up covers fresh oil, a new spark plug, a cleaned fuel system, and a full safety check, plus an inspection of the belts, shear pins, auger and scraper bar before the snow does it for you. On battery machines we test pack health and charge cycles instead of the fuel and ignition work.

Cost and Turnaround

Diagnosis is $35, paid when you check the machine in. If the repair goes through as a warranty claim, the manufacturer covers the fee and you get the $35 back, so bring your registration or proof of purchase. If it isn't a warranty repair, the $35 isn't refunded and is billed in addition to the repair.

Standard turnaround is about two weeks for gas equipment and about three weeks for battery equipment, once diagnosis is done and you've approved the plan. Warranty parts availability can push that out, and the first big storm of the year always does.

How it works:

  1. Drop off. Bring the snow blower to any Weiders location, or schedule a pickup.
  2. Diagnosis. A technician finds the problem and quotes the repair, or orders parts for warranty work.
  3. Repair. We start once you approve.
  4. Pickup. We call you when it's ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does snow blower repair cost?

Diagnosis is $35, paid at check-in. A technician then quotes the repair before any work starts. If the repair is covered by warranty, the manufacturer covers the diagnosis and you get the $35 back.

How long does snow blower repair take?

About two weeks for gas machines and about three weeks for battery machines, once diagnosis is complete and you've approved the repair. The first big storm of the season fills our benches, so September and October are the best time to bring it in.

Do you repair Toro snow blowers?

Yes, as a paid repair. Our Toro warranty repair certification is in progress.

Do you repair EGO battery snow blowers?

Yes. We're an EGO Authorized Dealer and Service Center and repair EGO snow blowers under warranty, testing the battery, charger and machine separately.

Can you pick up my snow blower?

Yes. For two-stage machines and anything else you can't transport yourself, call the store nearest you to schedule a pickup and get a quote for your address.

Why won't my snow blower start?

The most common cause is stale fuel left in the tank over the summer, which gums up the carburetor. A fouled plug, a bad recoil or an electric start fault are next. Bring it in and we'll diagnose it for $35.

Do I have to have bought my snow blower at Weiders?

No. Non-warranty repair is open to any brand we can get parts for, including Ariens, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Honda and Husqvarna.

Where can I get a snow blower repaired near Rochester?

At any of our three stores: Brighton (1800 Monroe Ave), Fairport/Perinton (585 Moseley Rd) or Honeoye Falls (166 W Main St). Pickup and delivery is available for large machines.
