$120 for that seems like a great deal. I get mine done every spring and pay around $250. Then again they replace the air filter, oil & oil filter, spark plugs, replace the blades, clean it, etc.

I would've done it for $50...


Could you run and sustain a business on those $50 tuneups?

You can change the oil yourself for about $30 and I don’t have the blades sharpened. I can get 2 new ones for a John Deere 42” cut for $45. That’s my annual servicing.

This is key information.
