I am writing to formally document my dissatisfaction with the service (or lack thereof) provided for my Yard Machine lawnmower and rototiller over the past 2.5 weeks.
I brought these machines in with a clear diagnosis: a sheared woodruff key on the mower affecting the timing. Despite this, I was told after 18 days of silence that parts were "unavailable." Specifically, I was told a blade and carburetor for a Yard Machine could not be sourced. As these are some of the most common OEM parts in the industry, this claim is factually incorrect and suggests a failure to even attempt the repair.
Furthermore, I was told that I had been contacted previously, which is false. When I asked for clarification on these points, the staff was dismissive and rude.
Most concerning is the safety oversight: upon getting the mower back, the spark plug fell out of the cylinder head while I was mowing. It was clearly removed for inspection and never reinstalled or tightened. Returning equipment in an unsafe, vibrating condition is a massive liability.
I am not seeking a refund as no money was exchanged, but I wanted to ensure this experience was documented in your records. I will be sharing these facts with the local community to ensure others are aware of these safety and communication lapses.
