Lawn mower repair recommendations?

Anyone have suggestions on a lawn mower repair person/shop? Preferably someone who also sells used mowers & parts.

Our lawn mower motor & blade works well - the handle & body have been giving us nothing but trouble. (Ugh - don't even want to get into all those issues!)

At any rate, after screwing around with it all summer, I'm done! Want to take it somewhere that can either make what we have work properly, or else do some sort of trade/exchange/upgrade/deal for a different used mower.

(Actually, I'm so frustrated that I'd love to throw the damn thing in the lake, & go buy a new one. Lol. But since the mechanical aspect of it still runs great, that would seem pretty wasteful. Sigh.)

Janneys is great to work with.
What kind/size is it? I have a great body and handle on a sears 6hp one that the engine has become a mosquito killer. I'd be willing to swap it over for a good price.

Call 419-882-7259 and ask for Mark. He previously ran Roger Toro repair shop on Sylvania Ave. and now does repairs, sales and service from his barn.

Agreed with Anniescski - Mark is da bomb, and his prices are quite reasonable.

Thanks for the info everyone!

hockeyfan - I'll have to check on what size it is when I get home, the engine is a Briggs & Straton.
