June Business Member of the Month Lakeview Power Equipment is owned and operated by Kevin Kerbel. This business sells outdoor power equipment, parts and has a service department. They have been in business in Rowlett, TX since November, 1999. Lakeview Power Equipment strives to provide the best quality and timely equipment repair shop in all of North Texas. A goal for the store is to complete repairs as quickly as possible, so Lakeview Power Equipment maintains one of the largest and most complete parts departments just to minimize wait-time. Kevin strives to improve service and continually adds parts for repair of equipment sold in his store and also for that carried in local stores too. The sales staff takes every opportunity to show and sell products to everyone who enters.
“As Lakeview Power Equipment has grown and matured, while we look at the bottom line at the end of every month, we are less concerned with the aspect than we are with helping each customer,” says Kevin. “Overall success has come from satisfied customers who repeatedly return. Added to these, new customers are referred to us, and we have the opportunity to meet individual needs while adding revenues for Lakeview Power Equipment.” As Kevin and his staff work confidently with the customers to meet their needs, they earn a repeat visit, a referral, and their trust!
