What We Do

Every Job Gets Your Gear Back Like New

We don't cut corners. Whether it's a single ski edge or a full engine overhaul, you'll get thorough work at a fair price — every time.

Ski & Snowboard Tuning

Base grinding, edge sharpening, and waxing for all types of snow and conditions. We prep your skis so they fly — not drag.

Snowmobile Service

Winter prep, belt changes, clutch work, carb tuning, and full rebuilds. Get your sled running strong before the trails open.

Chainsaw Repair

Starting issues, chain tension, carb adjustment, and complete overhauls. We get your saw pulling clean every time you yank.

ATV & UTV Maintenance

Oil changes, filter replacements, brake service, and diagnostic work. Keep your four-wheeler ready for whatever the terrain throws at it.

String Trimmer & Edger

Shaft repairs, spindle service, starter rebuilds, and cutting head replacements. Lawn equipment that runs smooth makes yard work a lot easier.

General Small Engines

Generators, mowers, go-karts, and anything with a small engine. If it has a carb and a spark plug, we can work on it.

We specialize in everything from precision ski tuning to chainsaw rebuilds, snowmobile winterization to ATV maintenance. Whatever your machine needs, we'll give it the same honest assessment and careful work we'd expect for our own equipment.

What Our Customers Say

Don't take our word for it — hear from the people who trust us with their gear season after season.

"Brought my snowmobile in for a full tune-up before the season started. They caught issues I didn't even know about and had it running better than it has in years. Fair price and great communication throughout."

Mark P.

"My skis have been going to Newt's for years. They always come back feeling fast and responsive. The wax job was perfect for the conditions we had this winter — couldn't be happier with the results."

S

Sarah T.

Cortland County

"My chainsaw wouldn't start after sitting all winter. Dropped it off and they had it running perfectly the next day. No hassle, no nonsense — just good solid work at a reasonable price. Highly recommend."
