Old school service to say the least

Monday, December 26, 2005
This shop has tuned my used mower for the last few years, bringing a Craigslist 'throwaway' back to life for several more years of useful service. I felt bad watching one of the mechanics lifting my old cheap lawnmower out of my Jeep, with his wizened features, long white beard and matching hair. He took a quick look at my beast and pronounced emphatically what the problem was, and asked me if I wanted to bother fixing it since it was such a cheap model, but he assured me I could get a few more years out of it once he had worked on it. Their prices may seem high, given how cheaply you can pick up a mower at Lowe's or Home Depot, but it's definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
