What People Say About This Shop
Highly recommend Lawn Mower Doctor “Mobile Repair” for lawn mower service in Louisville. The most impressive part of my experience with the Lawn Mower Doctor was how fast they came out to repair my mower. I called the first of April when everyone needs maintenance/repairs and they was out within a few days. The job was done correctly and in a timely manner for a very reasonable price.
Lawn Doctor got my mower on Monday and it runs like its brand new in less than two days at a great price. I saved hundreds of dollars vs buying a new mower. Great service! Absolutely the best lawn mower maintenance in Louisville!
Top-notch small engine repair at Lawn Mower Doctor “Mobile Repair” in Louisville. I sent a text in the middle of the week, and the guys were at the house that Saturday. Greg, Neil, and Brady were great. Very nice guys, very personable. They got our mower fixed up in no time, and even gave us a free filter. The price was great too, considering they came to us. Quick and easy. Highly recommend them!
Best lawn mower maintenance experience in Louisville! Tried them out for a winterization and oil change. They were able to give me a very quick appointment and they showed up on time. They also did some minor repairs while they were here and did fantastic work. It was quick and easy and it didn't have to deal with transporting the lawn mower to one of the shops and waiting for 6 to 8 weeks to get it back. Definitely recommend their service.
If you're looking for lawn mower tune-up in Louisville, Lawn Mower Doctor “Mobile Repair” is the place. I recently had the pleasure of working with Lawn Mobile Doctor, and I can't recommend them enough. Greg, Neil, and Brad went above and beyond to help me with a major issue on my Craftsman T100 lawn mower. The front right tire had come off the axle, and not only did they get it reattached quickly, but they also sharpened the blades—saving me the cost of new ones. What really impressed me was how fast and professional they were. I had originally tried using one of those big-name app-based services, but it was a complete runaround—especially during a holiday weekend. I didn’t get any follow-up, no callbacks, and I was left doing all the legwork myself. Even after the holiday, there was still radio silence. Lawn Mobile Doctor, on the other hand, showed up, took care of the issue promptly, and got me back to mowing without the hassle. If you’re tired of chasing down service and want a team that gets the job done right the first time, these are your guys

Lawnmowers run like new! Friendly, fast and efficient
If I could give 10 stars I would. Very friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to lawnmowers. Zero turn has been sitting for 2 years. They got it up and running in less then 30 min. Absolutely the best lawnmower repair in Louisville!
