Buy Your Stihl
Where They Fix
Your Stihl.
Ted's is a full-line Stihl dealer in Durango. We stock what people around here actually run, we order anything else in the catalog direct from Stihl, and we service every bit of it in the largest small-engine shop in the Four Corners. Buying the saw is the easy part — what happens in year three is why you buy it local.
Anyone Can Sell You a Saw.
Plenty of places will hand you a Stihl and wave goodbye. When the carb gums up, the chain stretches, or a warranty question comes up, you're on your own — or you're boxing it up and shipping it somewhere. Ted's has been fixing small engines in Durango since 1971. We sharpen chains, stock the parts that actually fail, handle warranty work in-house, and tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth the money.
Full-Line Stihl Dealer
We carry the models Durango runs hardest, and we can order anything else in the Stihl lineup direct from Stihl.
We Service What We Sell
Warranty work, tune-ups, and repairs handled in our own shop — the largest small-engine shop in the Four Corners.
Parts On the Shelf
Chains, bars, filters, plugs, trimmer line, bar oil, and mix. Most of what fails is something we already have.
Open Earlier, Later, More Days
An hour earlier, an hour later, and a day longer than anyone else in town — because the job doesn't wait for banker's hours.
If It's Orange, We Can Get It.
We keep the models Durango leans on hardest right here on the floor — saws, trimmers, blowers, and the battery gear that's quietly taking over. Anything else in the Stihl catalog, we order direct and it ships to the store. Call and tell us what the job is. We'll tell you what's on the shelf today and what's a few days out.
Chainsaws
This is what Stihl is known for, and it's what we sell the most of. Firewood season, storm cleanup, or clearing a lot — the right saw is the one sized to the work, not the one with the biggest number on the cover. Tell us what you're cutting and we'll point you at it.
Gas
Battery — AP Professional System
Battery — AK Homeowner System
Weed Eaters & String Trimmers
Fence lines, ditches, and the strip of weeds along the driveway that comes back every August. The difference between a trimmer you tolerate and one you keep is usually shaft type and weight — and that's a conversation better had in person than on a spec sheet.
Gas
Blowers
The cottonwoods make their decision sometime in late September, and they don't consult you first. Backpack blowers move volume when you've got real acreage. Handhelds handle a driveway and a deck. Battery models do it without waking the neighborhood — worth considering if your cleanup happens early on a Saturday.
Backpack — Gas
Handheld — Gas
One Battery. A Dozen Tools.
Stihl runs two battery systems, and knowing which one you're in matters more than any single tool. The AK system is built for homeowners — lighter, quieter, and the same battery drops into the saw, the trimmer, the blower, and the pruner. The AP system is the professional line, built for people who run equipment all day and need gas-comparable output.
Buy into one and every tool after that costs less, because you're only buying the tool.
AK Homeowner System
Lighter, quieter, built for weekend jobs — and every tool below shares the same battery.
AP Professional System
Built for people who run equipment all day and need gas-comparable output, no fumes.
- MSA 220 C-B — Chainsaw, gas-comparable cutting speed
- MSA 300 C-O — Stihl's most powerful battery chainsaw
- MSA 220 T — Top-handle saw for arborists and tight overhead work
Lawn Mowers
Self-propelled matters more in Durango than most places — a lot of these yards aren't flat. We assemble, fuel, and test-run every mower before it leaves, and we service it here when the season's over.
Pole Saws
For the limb that's just out of reach and definitely not worth a ladder. Reach beats power on most of these jobs, and standing on solid ground beats both.
Hedge Trimmers
Quiet enough to use on a Sunday morning without becoming the story on Nextdoor.
Cut-Off Saws
Concrete, asphalt, rebar, pipe. If you're cutting hard material on a jobsite, this is the category — and if you'd rather rent than own for a single job, we do that too.
Pressure Washers
Winter leaves a film on everything — the deck, the siding, the truck that hauled firewood all season. A pressure washer turns a weekend of scrubbing into an afternoon, and turns "we should probably repaint that" into "turns out it was just dirty."
Water Pumps
For when the crawlspace has opinions about spring runoff.
Parts, Service, and Everything Else in the Catalog.
Buying the machine is one conversation. Keeping it running is the one that actually matters — and it's the one Ted's has been having since 1971.
Parts for All of It
Chains, bars, sprockets, filters, plugs, trimmer line, bar oil, and mix — the things that wear out, in stock, on the shelf. If it's a part we don't stock, we order it. You don't have to guess at a part number over the phone either. Bring the machine, or bring the broken piece.
Call About PartsWe Fix What We Sell. And Most of What We Don't
The largest small-engine shop in the Four Corners, and the widest set of vendors we can get parts for. Warranty work on Stihl handled in-house — no boxing it up and shipping it off. Chain sharpening with a short turnaround. Pre-season tune-ups before the season, not during it.
See Service & RepairThe Rest of the Kit
Chaps, helmets, eye and ear protection, gloves, wedges, files and sharpeners, fuel cans, bar oil, and pre-mixed fuel that won't gum up your carb over the winter. If you're buying a saw and you don't own chaps, we're going to bring it up — because we've seen what the alternative looks like.
Call About AccessoriesNot on the Floor? Still Yours
We stock what Durango uses most, which is a lot of the catalog but not all of it. Anything else in the Stihl lineup we order direct from Stihl and have shipped to the store. Same warranty, same service, same people when you need something fixed.
Call to Special OrderQuestions People Actually Ask
Do you service Stihl equipment I bought somewhere else?
Usually yes. Bring it in and we'll tell you what's possible, what it costs, and whether it's worth doing. We'd rather be straight with you than take on a repair that doesn't make sense.
Do you handle Stihl warranty work?
Yes, in-house. Nothing gets boxed up and shipped away.
How fast can you sharpen a chain?
Short turnaround. Chain sharpening is one of the most common things we do — call ahead and we'll tell you what today looks like.
What if you don't have the model I want?
We order it direct from Stihl. Call with the model number, or describe the job and we'll help you land on the right machine.
Should I go battery or gas?
Depends on the work. Battery has gotten genuinely good, and for most homeowner jobs it's quieter, lighter, and starts every time. If you're running equipment all day or cutting big wood, gas still wins. Come in and we'll be honest about which side you're on.
Do you sell parts if I do my own repairs?
Yes. Chains, bars, filters, plugs, line, and more on the shelf. We'll help you find the right part number if you're not sure.
The Job Doesn't Wait for Shipping.
Come see what's on the floor, or call and we'll tell you straight — what's in stock, what we can order, and what's actually right for the work you're doing. That's been the arrangement here since 1971.
Get the Right Machine, Ready to Run.
Call and tell us what the job is. We'll tell you what's in stock, what's a few days out, and which model actually fits — no upsell, no guesswork.
