BARGAIN BUDDY'S SMALL ENGINE

"I sent my mower in for a ""tune up"", as it had been making some noises. I also wanted the blades sharpened. They were very good on pick-up and delivery, and the woman was very pleasant. I figured the cost would be somewhere like $100. They kept my mower for 2 1/2 weeks, and it cost me $302. They were reluctant to take a credit card, but they finally relented. I had to give them the card number before they would deliver my mower to me. The first time I used it, that day, the back wheels froze up, and finally I got it going. Next time I wasn't so lucky, and it wouldn't start at all. I forgot to mention they put on NEW mower blades, but they didn't inform me this was necessary before they did it. Their telephone has no ""answering service"", so I finally gave up. If they had told me it needed so much work, I would have NOT repaired it. So, ultimately, I was out the $302. and I ended up buying a new mower. They claim to be extremely busy, so I would not recommend them if you want your mower back FAST. I would also advise to SPECIFY to them that you want an ""estimate"" of the costs BEFORE repairs are done."
