It's time for me to have my lawnmower serviced-specifically, the blade needs to be sharpened.  Any recommendations for a good lawnmower repair service, preferably one that will pick up/deliver?

I've found AAA Lawnmower Repair online and note they pick up/deliver.  Anyone have any experience with these guys?  Any other places to recommend?

Thanks!

Sharpen the blades yourself. It will take less than 1/2 an hour. A bit longer if you don't have a grinder, but still it is totally doable yourself.

A new blade is less than $20.  I'm guilty of just buying a new one every year.  Have used a bench grinder in the past, but getting it level and balanced can be tricky.

$20 adds up when your mower has 3 blades.  ;)

I keep two sets around. One set on the mower, another set sharpened and hanging in the workshop. I normally switch them out once per summer. Of course I'm also mowing 3.5 acres so they get a lot of use. It can be a bit tricky until you learn what you are doing. Luckily I had a good teacher, my Grandfather.

No idea on pick up and deliver.  Expect a 1-2 week wait time though, regardless where you have it done.  I've had good luck with Southside Mowers off I-44 in west Tulsa.

This guy has done good work for several family members on their riding mowers....don't know about pickup/delivery.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I used All Saw Service on 11th St for a string trimmer repair in the past.  Good service.

Thanks for the info! I have a weed trimmer I need to get worked on and am heading over there today!
