So I had a local BR establishment repair my riding mower and I get it back today and notice immediately that it had been left outside probably for the two whole weeks they had it. Clear signs of where water pooled on the seat and water marks on the motor block. Wondering if this something I should talk to the business about.

I haven’t started it yet. I’m hoping it was fully repaired. They dropped it off unannounced and I didn’t discover it in my backyard until late in the day.

The lack of communication overall has irked me. But the rain exposure got me grumpy enough to post on the OT.

Definitely something you should talk to the business about.

I would start a FaceBook page on “__________ Mower Repair Sucks”.

Why did you send it to a repair shop? Have you ever heard of YouTube?

Go take a look at Sunshine Equipment on Airline Hwy. Probably 100 mowers sitting outside. It’ll be alright.

Don't settle for anything less than a detail and paint correction

Mowing your own lawn is trashy

Did you walk in all pompous and overbearing with all your UF gear on?

I don't think there will be any damage to a lawnmower due to it getting wet. in fact, it sounds like it could probably stand to be washed on occasion...

Call out a mobile detail service, or are you poor?
