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>

Prompt, efficient repair. Fully explained possible problems when I first brought it in. Seemed a little expensive, but there appears to be no such thing as a cheap, good mechanic. Was honest when they could have run up the bill with un-needed add-ons.
