Questions we get
Straight answers.
Is your name really Mower?
It really is. Jason Mower — it's on the driver's license, and it's the reason this business had a name before it had a single customer. It got a lot of laughs and then it got a lot of work.
You really come to my house?
That's the whole idea. The truck carries the tools, the common parts and the sharpener, so most repairs happen right there in your driveway instead of on a bench across town. You never load a dead mower into anything.
What does it cost to find out what's wrong?
Depends how the machine gets to us. If we come to you, it's a $59 service call with the diagnosis included — one flat number covering the trip out and the answer. If you haul it to us instead, diagnosis is $40, and that comes off the bill as long as the repair happens within 30 days. Either way you get a firm quote before anything gets fixed.
My mower sat all winter and won't start. Is it junk?
Almost never. Gas goes bad in a few months and gums up the carburetor, and that is the single most common repair we do. Usually a clean or a rebuild, not a new machine — and usually handled right there at your place.
Do you work on brands you didn't sell?
Every brand. Honda, Toro, Husqvarna, Stihl, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Echo, big-box or dealer — if we can get parts for it, we can fix it. Thirty years in southwest Missouri means we've seen most of it.
Do you sharpen blades if I've got a few?
Yes, and it's the cheapest thing you can do for your lawn — a dull blade tears grass instead of cutting it. Blades get sharpened and balanced on site, and two or more brings the price per blade down. Worth knowing if you run a multi-blade deck, or if the neighbor wants theirs done at the same time.
How fast can you get out here?
We won't promise same-day — we'd rather give you a straight answer than a date we can't hit. Most of the year we're out to you within a few days. April and May are another story; that's when everyone discovers their mower at once. Off-season is always the fastest time to get a machine serviced.
