Can I repair my lawn mower myself?

• <div><p>If you are a skilled DIYer with experience, you can do certain lawn mower repairs yourself. However, if you’ve never worked on a lawn mower before or if your mower needs extensive repairs, it’s best to let a skilled lawn mower technician work on your machine. While it might be a little more expensive due to the cost of labor, nothing beats knowing that the job was done successfully (and often with warranties). </p></div>

Q: How often should lawn mower spark plugs be changed?

• <div><p>You need to change your spark plugs regularly. It is recommended that your spark plugs should be checked and changed after every 25 hours of use.</p></div>

Q: How often should a lawn mower be tuned up?

• <div><p>How often you tune up a lawn mower depends on how often your lawn mower is used. Minimally, it should be tuned up once a year. If you use it regularly or have a vast lawn, tuning it up every 100 hours is advisable.</p></div>

Q: Why is my lawn mower smoking?

• <div><p>Sometimes dark smoke trailing out of your lawn mower is the result of excess oil. It smokes as it burns off. Other times, it could signal a problem with the combustion or contaminated fuel. If changing the fuel and cleaning your mower doesn&rsquo;t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).</p></div>

Q: Do I need to lubricate my mower blades?

• <div><p>It's a good idea to lubricate your mower blades and mowing deck with something protective like WD40 that prevents rust and helps stop grass and dirt from sticking to the blades and deck.</p></div>

Patrick was very professional, understanding and knowledgable about what to do. It took a few holes in the wall and ceiling to track down the source, but the pinhole leak was discovered and completely repaired. I am more than happy with Domco and especially Patrick. Thank you.

Shoe Fix are really good. They do craftsman-like work. They're fast and reasonably priced for the service. They were able to repair things that I thought might be beyond repair.

Overall, a good experience, considering it is a repair shop at a dealership - where they never try quite as hard as at a private repair shop. They replaced my temperature gauge (not cheap!) - and did a good quality job - though they were in no rush to get it done. I couldn't get everything fixed...

The first time the boots were worn again the sole fell off of one of them. I took the boots back in so Vito could again repair the one that fell apart. He would not stand behind his work. He said he would attempt to repair the boot for another $15.

Contrary to experiences with other auto repair shops in the past, I never got the idea that I am being taken advantage of the owner of this company. He never seems to suggest any work or services that are not really needed.
