Caron’s: Leader in lawn care

    PRESQUE ISLE – Caron’s Equipment Sales & Service, located at 22 Caribou Road in Presque Isle, offers not only the equipment you need for such tasks as mowing the lawn but also offers service for machines you already own.     “We carry a wide selection of equipment: Toro, Echo, Bearcat and Yamaha, Exmark, Troy Built, pellet stoves, wood splitters, chainsaws and more,” said Chad Caron, business manager. “We also do warranty work.”
    Caron’s is a certified small-engine dealer for: Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, Onah and Tecumseh, as well as Kohler.
    “Toro is backed by excellent dealer support,” he said.
    Caron’s does work through Toro’s warranty program; Echo’s industry-leading 5-year warranty.
    Looking for a push or riding mower, leaf blower, trimmer, hedge clippers or a chipper/shredder? Caron’s carries a wide selection of lawn tools.
    “We offer parts and service for many makes and models. We service the brands we sell and brands sold elsewhere,” said Caron.
    “We’re the only full-line Toro dealer selling to individual customers, municipalities and the commercial level.”
    “We’re the only Maine business selling commercial golf course equipment,” said Caron. “It creates a unique niche.”
    Upon arrival, customers find a variety of machines on display, parts and accessories. In back, there’s a parts room and shop for on-site repairs.
    “We carry a full parts room.”    “Customers walk in,  staff offers top customer service,” said Caron.
    Caron’s has two full-time certified mechanics. A family venture, Barbara Caron is office manager.     “I’m in business with my father, David Caron Sr., and brothers, David Jr. and Scott,” said Caron.
     “We had a need to service and supply parts and equipment for our own business. We also built it to give people another place to shop for good, professional service. That’s what we’ve built our business on since day one,” said Caron.
    Caron’s opened in Dec. 2006.
    None of this would be possible without the support of customers and vendors.
    “We want to thank our dedicated customer base and vendors who, for 12 years, provided support. Without it, none of this would be possible,” said Caron.
    Store hours: 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday; Saturday 8-noon, or by appointment.
