Before you call
What helps Jay understand the problem
A few useful details can make the first conversation faster and help you avoid an unnecessary trip.
- Run a portable generator before storm season so there is time to address fuel or starting problems.
- Tell Jay whether the engine starts and whether the generator or pressure washer also has an output problem.
- Jay repairs small-engine problems; electrical generator-head and pressure-pump failures may require a specialist.
- Old fuel is especially common on equipment that sits most of the year.
Repair or replace?
Is it worth fixing?
Generators and pressure washers vary widely in value and construction. Jay will first separate an engine problem from an electrical-output or pump problem, then explain whether the work is a good fit and whether repair makes sense.
What will it cost?
There is no honest flat price without knowing what failed. If the problem is not obvious, Jay can diagnose it and talk with you before moving ahead with repair work.
When repair is not the answer
Jay can diagnose and repair many engine-side problems. Internal generator electrical failures, pressure-washer pump rebuilds, and warranty work may fall outside the shop's scope.
