Best place to have a string trimmer serviced around Baton Rouge

I was given a Stihl string trimmer that has not been used for about five years. Would like to have it serviced. Looking for suggestions.

Who would pay 50 + bucks to service something that's 5 years old, when you can go buy a new one for 150.00

I should have been more specific. This is a top of the line professional trimmer that cost over $500 new. TIA

Because I would be $100 richer.

K & D Rent All and Hardware Store on Old Hammond Hwy near Airline Hwy is one option.

If you can wait 6-8 weeks

Stines will service Stihl products. I know the one in Walker does, not sure about the one in BR.
Why does it need to be serviced? Is there a specific problem you’re having?

Seasonal I guess. Had a Echo blower I brought in a month ago for my Dad, had it back in 2 days. Twice had to bring in a Honda mower I bought there for recall service on a wheel bushing, in both cases returned to me repaired in 2 days. But I always ask the anticipated turn around time though and in my case they’ve always been spot on.

If you are handy with fixing things then this will be easy to do. Remove carb and order new one ( Amazon ) along with a new plug, air filter and fuel filter (usually in fuel tank ) and should start right up.

My Echo just went out again. It’s about 10 years old and I am thinking it’s the carb but honestly didn’t feel like messing with it anymore. Went and picked up one of those battery EGO trimmers today. We will see how it does.

Not the ACE on Highland. Dropped some equipment there last Spring and after a number of calls and a couple of months I just bought a new piece of equipment. Still have never had a call back from them about the piece I dropped off. That’s service right there!

Depending on your location in BR, St. Gabriel Hardware (down Hwy 30) or Blanchard's Building Materials (Hwy 1 south of Dow) might be viable options.
