Your trusty lawn mower is a handy piece of equipment that helps you to maintain your grass and keep it healthy and looking great all summer long. However, you have to keep your mower maintained so that it functions properly.

While you can perform many basic lawn mower maintenance tasks at home, there may be occasions when you need to take your lawn mower into a local service department. Here’s how to know when you should do that and how to prepare for the visit.

When Should I Go to a Service Department?

Typically, any time you feel that you don’t have the tools, time, or knowledge needed to make a repair to your lawn mower, you should get in touch with a professional service department.

Lawn equipment mechanics are trained to understand many different types of mowers and how they work so that they can quickly and efficiently address the problems you’re having, and they also have the time and tools necessary to make the right repairs.

How Should I Prepare?

Making a list of the issues you’re having with your lawn mower in advance of your visit is a great way to prepare for it. If you can guide the mechanic to the problem areas, this will save them time and help you to get your mower back faster. Let them know if there are some routine tasks you’ve been unable to complete yourself, or whether there’s been a persistent problem you can’t seem to fix. Cleaning up the mower can also make it easier to repair.
