Fran M. says, "Josh [JC] is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet on a Skilled Job/Pro/Home Service Website hands down! He is exceptional, multi-skilled, highly knowledgeable, extremely thorough, very smart, a real pro and user friendly. He works nonstop, like a machine, wastes no time and is super determined to fix your problem. He got the details of all the steps I had taken, made certain checks, then proceeded into the more advanced troubleshooting steps. He checked spark plugs, fuel line, cleaned intake & top of carburetor [very dirty], cleaned carburetor itself with carburetor brushes, and kept right on chugging. He was “checking the boxes off” in his head as he progressed & would attempt to start the mower as appropriate. One thing for sure he does not cut corners. At the point where the mower should have cranked, he said to himself “what have I left out?” [He told me afterwards]. So he went backwards and started rechecking some possibilities. I had drained the fuel tank early September just in case the new fuel I put in end of August was bad. However I went back to the same Kings Way station to buy a couple more gallons of non-ethanal 90 octane fuel afterwards. Josh found an air bubble in the fuel filter towards the end; so I went to a different gas store got 93 octane then went and bought another gas filter while he miraculously removed the fuel tank completely & dumped it. At the time I felt it may have been overkill but later I realized just how essential that step was. Regardless of how much gas you pour out of these crazy shaped Craftsman fuel tanks, you need to siphon the last few millimeters out as well, to get rid of ALL bad fuel. Anyway Josh got my mower up and running, pumped up the air in all the tires. It was getting late, but he had me test drive while he was still there. I think he checked about everything on my mower so I got a full service deal at a totally value added price. I highly recommend Josh—you will NOT be disappointed! Get an appointment through Thumbtack AND don’t forget to cancel over 24 hours ahead of time if something changes. He’s the kind of guy that you definitely should never treat that way. This is the BEST or one of the best Thumbtack experiences EVER!! Thank you man! Craftsman YTS4000 2009"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do you know if your lawn mower is blown?

Here are a few signs that your lawn mower’s engine or head gasket is blown:

  • There’s an oil leak.
  • There’s smoke coming from the exhaust.
  • The mower has low power and pressure.
  • Your mower fails a compression test, or there’s diminished compression.

A lawn mower technician can confirm if your lawn mower is blown. Contact technicians near you today to set up an appointment.

Is it worth repairing a lawn mower?

To determine if it's better to repair or replace your lawn mower, consider the following:

  • How much will it cost to repair vs. replace your mower?
  • Does your lawn mower break down frequently? 
  • Is your lawn mower more than 10 years old?

If it's expensive to fix your broken engine or transmission, buying a brand new lawn mower may be a better investment. And if it's old and requires constant repairs, it's probably time to consider purchasing a newer model. 

Don't hesitate to ask your repair technician if they recommend you repair or replace your lawn mow

What’s included in a lawn mower tuneup?

Typically, a lawn mower tuneup includes at least the following: 

  • Changing the oil
  • Changing or cleaning the air filter
  • Replacing the spark plug

Depending on the company or technician, a tuneup may also include sharpening the blades, cleaning the carburetor, lubricating the wheels and more. Contact lawn mower technicians near you to find out what’s exactly included in a tuneup.

How do you repair a lawn mower?

Repairing a lawn mower requires a few skills and tools. The first step is to determine what's causing your lawn mower to malfunction and the type of repair needed.

Is your lawn mower not starting? Is it breaking down in the middle of mowing your lawn? Is it smoking or overheating? Depending on the issue, you'll need to follow specific instructions to troubleshoot and solve the problem.

If you don't have the experience, skills or knowledge needed to fix a lawn mower, consider hiring a repair technician instead of DIY-ing this task.

How do I know if my lawn mower spark plug is bad?

It may be time to replace your spark plug if:

  • The engine is dying or failing.
  • You have to add more gas than usual.
  • The spark plug is visibly damaged and broken.
  • You’re having a harder time getting the lawn mower to start. 

If you suspect your lawn mower's spark plug has gone bad, hire a pro to confirm your suspicions. A repair technician can identify the problem and perform repairs.

How often should a lawn mower be serviced?

Read your owner's manual or manufacturer’s guidelines to find out how often you should service certain parts of your mower. For example, the manual may have information on how often you should change your oil, spark plugs and air filter. You may also need to sharpen your mower’s blades and add a fuel stabilizer. 

You may be able to perform some maintenance tasks on your own. But if not, don’t hesitate to contact a pro near you.

How many years does a lawn mower last?

The number of years your lawn mower will last often depends on the brand, manufacturer and how well it’s maintained. You can expect a lawn mower to last about 10 years if you properly take care of it.

Where can I get my lawn mower repaired?

Bring your lawn mower to a technician to get it fixed. A lawn mower technician or repair specialist will have the necessary equipment and expertise to troubleshoot your lawn mower, diagnose the problem and perform the repairs.

What happens if you don't change the oil in a lawn mower?

If you don’t change your lawn mower’s oil, it won’t perform up to its maximum capacity. Changing the oil is crucial. It helps prevent your lawn mower from failing, protects all of the moving parts and prolongs its life expectancy.

How much does it cost to repair a lawn mower?

Lawn mower repairs cost $80-$100, on average. Some technicians may charge hourly rates. On average, the technicians charge anywhere from $45-$100 per hour. 

You should always get price quotes from at least three different repair technicians. That way, you’ll have a clear idea of how much repairs will cost.
