During the Second World War, a company named Simpson Garage found their business dropping off due to the rationing of gasoline and rubber. Since many of the men were in the service and overseas, the owner started sharpening and repairing reel mowers. After the war was over, the garage business started picking up again, however they continued to service lawn equipment as a part time business.
In 1955 the Lawnmower end of the business was growing and developing an ever-increasing client base. It was decided that it could no longer be part time. A garage employee bought out the business and relocated to Sargent Avenue. At that time the newly named Accurate Lawn Mower carried Toro Power Mowers and Clemson Bros. Reel Mowers.
Accurate Lawnmower ownership had changed hands several times over the years. Finally, in 1967, Dave Neufeld bought the business and relocated it to 830 Scotland Avenue. At that time, the shop was approximately 800 square feet. It had a small show room for displaying Toro, Davis Lawnmowers and Ariens Snow Blowers.

I will never go here again. The customer service was terrible. The guy I dealt with both times gave an attitude that I was an inconvenience to his day, was moser interested in the computer than in helping me. And when I picked up the mower, he never showed me that the work was actually done. When I did get the mower home, I found that the wire connecting the engine to the safety bar was not attached, which means my engine will not even start, and I cannot get the wire connected to the bar. They failed to do the job I paid them to do, and I am not going to take my mower back there, even for them

Worst place. Such a scam. I’ve asked them for my snow blower repair, they finished their duty within 2 days, picked it up and discovered that it doesn’t start. I basically charged them $120 for nothing. Absolutely disappointed. I found a better mechanic in the city for a cheaper price with better customer service, so those of you interested in finding better service feel free to reply down below

Don't go here if you value your equipment.
I took my electric lawnmower in to get the blade sharpened. I couldn't get the blade off myself so I figured a store that specializes in that would have the right tools. After waiting for THREE weeks I called and asked, "are you able to sharpen the blade, or not?" Shortly afterwards I was told the work was done. I picked up my lawnmower, brought it home and plugged it in to cut my now rather long grass. The mower was dead.
I removed the cowling (plastic cover) from the mower motor and found screwdriver marks in the motor windings

Went there on a Friday and put my name down to get a lawnmower that was suppose to be there Tuesday. I never heard from them so I called. They said nothing is in and it will be tomorrow. Called the next day and they said nothing in but it should be in tomorrow. Called the next day and they said nothing is here, call tomorrow. Well today is tomorrow so I called and they once again said the truck isn't in yet if it comes at all today. They never know if the truck will "roll in" today or not. Horrible customer service. I didn't even buy anything there and the brutal service that

I had exactly the same experience as Tony D. I brought them my trusty old Toro riding mower which had been a solid, reliable work horse on my acreage for over 15 years. The pull cord had pulled out of the starter and simply needed to be replaced. They told me the machine was a write-off but that they could take it off my hands. They even red-flagged it (like literally put a red flag on it) when they returned it to me (filthy and with parts missing). I brought it to a real small engine repairman and a few bucks later, I have a new pull start. He said there was absolutely nothing wrong with it and

Do not take your lawn mower or anything else into this place. I took my mower in to get an estimate, they called a week later and told me that it was going to cost $270.00 to fix it. I told them not to bother as I could buy a new mower cheaper. The guy asked if I wanted the mower back or if they could keep it to "recycle it". I told them I would come and pick it up as I know someone that will give you money for the mower running or not. When I went to pick it up I was told that there would be a charge for the estimate, something they hadn't mentioned at any point previous to this
