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>

I've used Andrew's services multiple times. The quality of his work is unsurpassed. He is very responsive and professional and very easy to work with. I called in the morning, dropped the chair off that day and picked it up, fully repaired, at the end of the day. Outstanding service!

They were very responsive, gave me a very competitive quote, and came within 2 days. Very easy to deal with, friendly, and cleaned up up nicely, leaving a trash bag of waste by my trash rather than gutter gunk on my lawn. I will use them next time.
