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

I called at 12:08 pm and a repairman was already in my area on another repair. He was here and had my microwave repaired and was gone by 1:10 pm the same day. He showed me what failed which was 3 microswitches. Very friendly and personable as well as professional.
