FAQ — Iron Ridge Equipment Services

Question 1

Do I have to bring my equipment anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No — that's the whole point. We come to you. Whether your equipment is in a barn, a garage, a field, or your backyard, we load up and drive to your location. You don't have to haul anything.

Question 2

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve a wide area across western and central Kentucky, within approximately 60 miles of Westview, KY (40178). That includes Grayson, Hardin, Breckinridge, Meade, Ohio, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Larue, Nelson, Muhlenberg, Daviess, McLean counties, and surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we come to your location, just call or text us at 812-697-9995 and we'll let you know.

Question 3

What does a typical service call look like?

Accepted Answer

We arrive at your location, assess the equipment, diagnose the issue, and perform the repair on-site whenever possible. We carry common parts and tools on the truck. If a part needs to be ordered, we'll let you know the timeline and return to complete the job.

Question 4

Can you work on equipment that won't start or can't be moved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That's one of the main advantages of mobile service. If your equipment is dead in the field or stuck in a tight spot, we come to it — no towing required.

Question 5

How do I schedule a service call?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is to fill out our online service request form at the Schedule page, or call or text us directly at 812-697-9995. We'll confirm your appointment by phone or text within one business day.

Question 6

Does submitting the online form automatically book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

No — submitting the form sends us your request, but your appointment isn't confirmed until we reach out to you directly. We review every request and contact you by phone or text to confirm a time.

Question 7

How far in advance do I need to schedule?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the season. Spring and early summer are our busiest times. We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for seasonal tune-ups. For urgent breakdowns, call or text us and we'll do our best to get to you quickly.

Question 8

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Just call or text us at 812-697-9995 as soon as you know. We appreciate as much notice as possible so we can adjust our schedule.

Question 9

How does your pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We use flat-rate pricing based on the job, not the hour. That means you know what you're paying before we start — no surprises when the invoice comes. Our full price guide is available on the Services & Pricing page.

Question 10

Is there a service call fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes — there is a $65 trip and diagnostic fee for every service call. This covers travel to your location and the initial assessment of your equipment. It will be communicated before we confirm your appointment, and the full price guide on our Services page has complete pricing details.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, check, and most major credit and debit cards. Payment is due at the time of service.

Question 12

Do you provide estimates before starting work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After diagnosing the issue, we'll give you a clear estimate before any repair work begins. You decide whether to proceed — no pressure, no surprise charges.

Question 13

What types of equipment do you work on?

Accepted Answer

We service a wide range of outdoor power and agricultural equipment — lawn mowers, zero-turns, riding tractors, chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, generators, pressure washers, ATVs, UTVs, compact tractors, skid steers, implements, outboard motors, and more. See our full Equipment page for the complete list.

Question 14

Do you work on all brands?

Accepted Answer

We work on most major brands including Husqvarna, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Toro, Stihl, Echo, Honda, Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, Kohler, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, and many others. If you're not sure about your brand, just ask.

Question 15

What if a part needs to be ordered?

Accepted Answer

If we don't have the part on the truck, we'll order it and schedule a return visit to complete the repair. We'll keep you updated on the part's arrival and get back to you as quickly as possible.

Question 16

Do you offer seasonal tune-ups and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer spring start-up tune-ups, fall winterization, and general maintenance services. These are a great way to keep your equipment running reliably and catch small issues before they become big ones.

Question 17

Do you offer property maintenance services in addition to equipment repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Iron Ridge offers property and facility maintenance as a second service division alongside mobile equipment repair. This includes mowing, preventive inspections, minor repairs, and general upkeep for homes, farms, rental properties, shops, barns, and small commercial or industrial facilities.

Question 18

What kinds of property maintenance do you handle?

Accepted Answer

We handle residential and commercial mowing, farm and rural property mowing, preventive property inspections, seasonal maintenance, shop and outbuilding upkeep, door and gate repairs, filter and belt replacements, exhaust fan and ventilation maintenance, pressure washing, minor leak investigation, and basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting. Other minor repairs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Question 19

Are you a licensed plumber, electrician, or HVAC contractor?

Accepted Answer

No — we do not advertise as a licensed plumbing, electrical, or HVAC contractor. The owner has extensive professional experience with these systems from years in industrial manufacturing maintenance, which means he can troubleshoot and handle many minor issues. Any work that legally requires a licensed trade professional will be referred to or coordinated with the appropriate contractor.

Question 20

Do you offer recurring maintenance programs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer monthly and seasonal maintenance agreements for farms, rental properties, small businesses, and light industrial facilities. Recurring programs are a practical way to stay ahead of issues and keep your property in good shape year-round. Call or text us at 812-697-9995 to discuss what a program would look like for your situation.
