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

• <div><p>Whether to repair or replace your lawn mower depends on what is wrong with it and how long you have owned it. If your lawn mower is relatively new, ensuring you regularly service it will help keep it in good shape. There are issues that will cost hundreds of dollars to repair, such as the engine blowing or the lawn mower going over rocks. Many people go by the three-year rule and replace their lawn mower rather than do repairs after this time.</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: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

Q: Why will the lawn mower string not pull?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won&rsquo;t pull, including an engine jam, a tangled cord, a broken recoil starter, or poor maintenance. To troubleshoot, turn the mower off. Then, inspect the cord, look for any tangles, and gently pull it to identify where the resistance starts. If you&rsquo;re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

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.
