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 much does lawn mower repair cost?

• <div><p>Repair costs range from $50 to $400, depending on issue severity, part replacements, and labor.</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: How do I know if my lawn mower can handle leaves?

• <div><p>A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn&rsquo;t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that&rsquo;s a good sign it&rsquo;s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.</p></div>

I just moved into a house early July and by then the grass was already out of control. My mower wasn't cutting it so I looked to hire and Ray's came up as an option. Ray called me to set up a quick visit, came to the house when he said he would, and managed to fit me into the schedule this week....

I dropped off my Sears mower for repairs -- it needed a new gas tank. While it was there I asked them to tune the motor up and sharpen the blade. I picked it up a week later and it works as if brand new! Much quieter and runs much more smoothly. They replaced the blade per their policy -- mine...
