Might need to add a few more greats. I don't, however, appreciate people who get their mowers tuned this early and are put off when they're hard to start when it's 15 degrees outside. Patience!


I can understand why people take them in early to get serviced. The local mower store a few blocks down the road does maintenance in addition to their sales. If you take a mower there in April or May, it can be there for a few weeks before they even touch it.

Most of my customers I obtained through word of mouth. Many of them had break-downs mid-season and the dealer told them it would take 2 months before it would get repaired. That's crazy.
 
That's why I work 15 hour days, sometimes 7 days a week in the Spring. Early is OK I guess, but they don't have gas in them when they pick them up. I tell them to wait until the first mow day to put FRESH, alcohol-free gas into their machine. I swear though...some of my customers must store their gas in a mop bucket in the middle of their back yard.
