Decent lawn mower tune-up experience at Triangle Small Engine Repair in Raleigh. Saw a previous one and done comment and should have looked up reviews 1st. Came out to get the lawnmower started but it wouldn't start the next day. Claimed he has a 30 day warranty on his services, but comes up with all kinds of excuses as to why he can't come back out. Now he dodging calls and text messages.

Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In Raleigh, NC, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.
Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.
Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.
Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in Raleigh, NC when shops are busiest.
Yes. Most repair shops in Raleigh, NC service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.
Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.
Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.
