Lawn Mower Repair Without Loading Up the Mower

A rider doesn't fit in most pickups, and a zero-turn needs a trailer. We bring the tools to your driveway, sharpen the blades on site, and leave it cutting clean.

Blade sharpening

Sharp, balanced blades cut cleaner, keep the grass tips from browning, and stop the vibration that wears out spindles. It's included with every mower tune-up. On its own it's $15 per blade, sharpened and balanced on site.

Before you book

Snap a photo of the model tag. On push mowers it's on the rear deck or behind the engine; on riders and zero-turns it's under the seat or on the frame near a rear wheel. EFI-equipped mowers (common on newer zero-turns) are off the list for now.

Mowers in Lovell, Cowley and Powell have no trip fee. Getting ready for the season? Read the spring tune-up guide.

Mower questions

Does every mower tune-up include sharpening?
Yes. Blades are sharpened and balanced with every tune-up. Stand-alone sharpening is $15 per blade. Battery, charging and electrical checks are repair work, not part of the tune-up.
My mower has three blades. What does that cost?
Riders and zero-turns include two blades. A third blade is +$15. Push and self-propelled mowers include one blade, and a second is +$15.
Can you fix a riding mower that won't move?
Usually on site. We check the drive belt, the bypass or freewheel lever, the transaxle or hydro, and the brake and safety switches.
