Mobile Small Engine Repair for Cody Homes, South Fork Places and Rentals

Cody has plenty of places that will fix a mower, but most of them want you to bring it in and leave it. Rolling Ratchet works the other way: the work happens where the machine lives, whether that's a garage on the west side of town or a place out on the South Fork.

For owners who aren't around

A lot of Cody property is only lived in part of the year. If you split your time somewhere else, you can send us the gate code and the key spot in the request form, and we'll have the blower ready before your first winter weekend or the mower cutting before you open the place in June. You'll get photos and a summary by text while you're still out of state.

Places along the South Fork and the nearer edges of town are inside normal Cody visits. Long drives and steep pads are fine as long as there's a flat spot to work. Farther west on the North Fork Highway, toward Wapiti and the East Entrance, is its own route stop — see the Wapiti page.

Property managers and short-term rentals

Motels, guest ranches, vacation rentals and the companies that manage them often have a generator, a blower and a mower at every address. Send one request for the whole list. We'll group the stops onto the same day, bill them on one invoice, and keep a record of each machine so next season is quicker. Tell us how you want approvals handled. An "approve up to $___" amount in the form keeps small fixes from waiting on a callback.

Elevation and July

At around 5,000 feet, a carburetor jetted for sea level runs rich, and an engine that was tuned somewhere else may smoke and foul plugs here. We set them up for the altitude. Also plan for July: the week of the Stampede brings company, cookouts and freshly cut lawns, so book the mower tune-up in June instead of the Monday before.

Typical Cody jobs

  • Pre-arrival blower service for seasonal and second-home owners
  • Multi-unit visits for property managers and rental owners
  • Generators at guest cabins and short-term rentals
  • Carb tuning for engines that run rich at altitude
  • June mower tune-ups before the summer rush
Trip fee: none. Cody is in the free zone, about 24 miles from home base. Visits are Tuesday–Friday, and Cody stops are grouped onto shared days when possible.

Cody questions

Can you service my equipment while I'm out of town?
Yes. Leave the machine reachable, add the gate code and key location to the form, and we'll text photos and the invoice when it's done.
Do you bill property managers?
Yes. One invoice can cover several addresses, and we can send it to the owner or the manager. Card, check or cash.
Do you go up the South Fork?
Yes, South Fork homes and cabins are part of Cody visits. For North Fork Highway places out toward Wapiti, use the Wapiti page — those are scheduled with Cody days and have their own trip fee. Let us know about any rough access in the form.

Heading west on the North Fork Highway? Wapiti is scheduled with Cody days. South toward the ranch country, Meeteetse rides along the same way.
