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: What do you call the cord you pull to start a lawn mower?

• <div><p>The cord you pull to start a lawn mower is commonly called the &ldquo;starter cord&rdquo; or &ldquo;pull cord.&rdquo; This uses and internal combustion process to start the lawn mower engine and it prone to wear and tear over time. You&rsquo;ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tune-lawn-mower.htm">lawn mower tune-up</a> process.</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>

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

• <div><p>In many cases, it might be cheaper to repair your lawn mower than to replace it, depending on what needs to be repaired. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mower-cost.htm">The cost to replace a lawn mower</a> dramatically varies, from <b>$60</b> for basic models to over <b>$15,000</b> for the top-of-the line models. </p><p>Small repairs like a spark plug replacement can be as little as <b>$20</b>, so replacing the whole lawn mower wouldn&rsquo;t make much sense. However, repairing a crankshaft could be much more expensive at <b>$500 to $900</b>, so depending on the age of your mower, it might be best to replace it. It&rsquo;s best to speak with your lawn mower repair technician to determine which option is best for you. </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>

Gary showed up on time and after some time, he was able to get the machine working. His work is amazing! I would highly recommend him. I never expected that the work would be done at my house as I remember 45 years ago, my parents sending lawn equipment out to be serviced.

Appointment was set up easy. Did the work on the snow blower but needed additional work to correct a valve problem. He was able to take the snow blower with him to his shop for the additional work. I asked if he could do my lawn mower while he was out and he did it also. Very pleased and I plan...

Gary was very responsive -- We used an Angie List promotion for a $69 push mower tune-up and blade sharpening. The mower is working great, and the cut is much improved. We also had Gary do an tune-up on another mower. He honored the Angie's list price (+$10 discount) -- the work was bit more...

Wow! This was a wonderful service. Gary brings old school, hands on skills that only come after years of experience. I thought I understood my mower and yet I learned so much from him on keeping it running. He cleaned the mower, checked components, replaced the filter and oil and spark pug,...
