Chainsaw Repair

When your chainsaw isn’t cutting it- literally- we’re here to help. At Swift Small Engine Repair, we specialize in fast, reliable chainsaw repair that gets your equipment back in action, whether you’re a homeowner trimming limbs or a professional clearing debris after a storm.

Chainsaws are powerful tools, but like any small engine equipment, they require regular maintenance and the occasional repair to stay reliable. That’s where we come in- offering expert diagnostics, genuine parts, and mobile service throughout Northern Virginia.

Real-World Reliability: A Disaster Relief Crew Story

One of the most meaningful jobs we’ve taken on came from a customer who works in disaster relief. After a major storm rolled through the area, his team needed to clear fallen trees to help emergency vehicles reach blocked roads. He had multiple chainsaws that were either bogging down, wouldn’t start, or needed basic maintenance.

He called us in a pinch, and we got out there the same day. After inspecting each unit, we performed a full set of tune-ups, replaced spark plugs and filters, and cleaned out several carburetors. A couple of saws needed new chains and minor fuel system repairs. In just a few hours, every chainsaw was back in action- and so was his crew, making a real difference on the ground.

Common Chainsaw Problems We Fix

Chainsaws can be finicky. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn pull-start or a sluggish chain, we’ve seen it all. Here are just a few issues we handle regularly:
