Q: How much does it cost to fix a lawn mower pull cord?

• <div><p>Replacing a lawn mower pull cord yourself should only cost you the supplies, which comes to around $25. For more complex repairs, you&rsquo;ll need to get a quote from a local lawn mower repair shop.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to replace or repair a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Whether to repair or replace your lawn mower depends on what is wrong with it and how long you have owned it. If your lawn mower is relatively new, ensuring you regularly service it will help keep it in good shape. There are issues that will cost hundreds of dollars to repair, such as the engine blowing or the lawn mower going over rocks. Many people go by the three-year rule and replace their lawn mower rather than do repairs after this time.</p></div>

Q: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

Q: Can you repurpose motor oil?

• <div><p>The best and safest way to deal with used motor oil is to bring it to an approved facility to be recycled and refined into new material. You may see recommendations to use old oil as an equipment lubricant or wood stain, but using it in these ways can be dangerous, messy, and environmentally irresponsible.</p></div>

Don't hire! Not room here for all my complaints! Some poor work and no customer service! Hired for deck repairs, to pour a new concrete patio driveway. Part of the job didn't adhere to the contract: deck posts not finished 4 inches above grade, not enough control joints in patio. Otherwise,...

Mike was great to work with. The job took longer than expected but that was due to the chairs needing a bit more attention than initially thought. The cost should have been more but even tho I offered Mike addt'l $ he refused. Said a deal was a deal. He was great and we will go to him again...

I requested for the tune up because it was making odd noises and it turns out that it needed major repairs. It's been a little crazy at that time to get parts so we're still working on it. They've been fine to work with. They didn't charge me anything additional.

The first "plumber", that ARS sent me, said that he didn't have the knowledge to work on well water systems! He said he wished I told their secretary that I was on a well, because they would have sent somebody with the expertise then! I called their office and they sent me a "master plumber"...

I have been with this mechanic for some time as the work is exceptional. But, I have concerns in regards to issues always going wrong with our vehicles. The $15 oil change is nice, but this mechanic makes all that back with every other service performed on the customer?s car. For example, said...
