      2018 ****-bolt Pony riding mower with a Briggs **** Powerbilt engine failed after 3 years.Compression release broke.The dealer installed Briggs and Stratton **** Intek replacement failed after 15 months service.The log splitter 6.5 ohv B&S also failed.I was a fan of Briggs and Stratton engines many years ago as they were great engines.Also had good service from Tecumseh vertical and horizontal engines.Junked out the Pony rider and purchased a Husqvarna twin cylinder 46 inch rider with a different brand engine.I always maintained my Briggs and Stratton engines with fresh spark plugs and seasonal oil and air filter replacements.The correct synthetic oil went into the crankcase seasonally.Warranty coverage is subject to Briggs discretion purchaser pays for teardown according to serving dealer.

      Yes, customers do pay tear down fees, however if the dealer finds the issue to be a manufactures defect the fee gets refunded back to the customer.

      I ordered a part from Briggs & Stratton on July 24, 2023. I was updated on July 25, 2023 that the part as on back order. This is for order number *********. I contacted them online to cancel my order and they stated that they could not. I called them on July 27th and they told me that because the part has been shipped, they cannot cancel. They stated they can only cancel on orders that are on back order. I advised them that it is on back order, that their store does not have the part, and it has not been shipped to me, only the store. I tried to talk to a supervisor and when one was supposed to call me back, they did not. I contacted them again on July 28th and got the same response. The customer service rep told me to wait and receive the package, then ship it back for a refund. I asked him why they could not just keep the part that has not been shipped to me. He stated they can only follow their policies. Crazy how this is such a large business and there is no customer service. Also, if you do not have the part and it is on back order, don't advertise that the part is available and let me check out. After checking out, I was sent an email that said it would be shipping the next day to only get a notification the next day it was on back order.

      Bought $350 lawnmower with ***** 160. Won't start. bought a $450 lawnmower with a Briggs 163 to replace it. Did all the prep work and pulled the starter 3 times and it started. Ran for 30 seconds, shut it down and now there is nothing with multiple pulls. Is there a small engine manufacturer out there that makes an engine that runs?

      Ive been in business over 18 years and have only ran into a couple businesses that are this terrible. I ordered a crankshaft through their website with my engine serial number. They sent the wrong crankshaft. It was brand new I only opened the box to take a picture like they requested. They wont let me exchange it for the correct crankshaft and they wont refund me. Ive already spent thousands and thousands of dollars with them. My businesses will never exchange commerce with them again. And I will also warn others on several groups Im in pertaining to these engines. STAY AWAY!!!

      Ordered a fuel tank replacement for a generator from Briggs Stratton Store. Used this site (Briggs and Stratton) to determine part number. It did not fit or have the same features. I was told Briggs Stratton Store is a distributor of Briggs and Stratton. (This is very confusing. I thought I was ordering direct from manufacturer so it would fit. Why would Briggs and Stratton allow a company to use their name.) Have been unable to get refund for the item. Takes 3-4 days to return emails. Was willing to pay return shipping and 20% restocking fee, but they say I damaged and will not accept it, and want me to pay return shipping.. I never even try to put it on. Returned exactly how it was received.)

      Briggs and Stratton would like to apologize for the inconvenience of this entire matter with Briggs Stratton Parts Store. Unfortunately there is nothing that Briggs and Stratton could assist with you at this moment.

      Purchased a brand new mower and had it delivered to my home. It has a Briggs and Stratton engine which completely failed to operate after utilizing it three times to cut my yard. Had to have the mower picked up and transported to the authorized repair dealer where it sat for months as Briggs and Stratton continued to deny any claim and would not repair the mower that was a couple months old. The dealer went above and beyond to try and remedy the issue, but Briggs and Stratton would not warranty the motor and said that it was submerged in water. It was delivered completely dry and garage kept. Makes absolutely no sense and I am now screwed out of $2000 and no mower. Thanks!

      Stay away from this online store, they are cheats! I purchase parts from Briggs and Stratton store on line, and the order kept saying waiting on fulfillment. The parts we on back order. I received an email from them and after 6 days the order still hadnt been filled. I sent an email to confirm on May 29th for cancellation of the order. The response was you cant cancel the order its already been processed for shipment, which was a lie. The prior email stated that the items they were waiting on wouldnt be in until June 2nd, 2023. They received to parts and shipped it out anyway, even after I cancelled it. They now wont send me an RMA without photos to verify I hadnt opened and used anything. This is just a big SCAM! They are trying to get the 20% restocking fee!! DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS GROUP!
