Mower Menders of Georgia

Be very very careful. The lead sales person is man named ""Jamie"". He will follow you to your car and tell you that he can sell you a better used lawn mower for cheaper than the repair will be. He will place his forefinger on his mouth to show you that it's a secret. BUYER BEWARE- he will make up some story...""it's a widow friend of his who hasn't used the lawn mower at all..."" \r \r Remember- if he looks like a snake oil salesman, and wears the clothes of a snake oil salesman and talks the talk of a snake oil salesman, \r chances are he's a charlatan used lawn mower salesman. more

Fantastic experience: My 4 month Briggs and Stratton mower stopped working. I called and received encouraging advice and directions. When I came right before closing time 2 days later Andy, behind the counter, and Coby who serviced the mower put in a new spark plug, air filter and a little oil and charged us $21. They asked us if we had tipped the mower (we had) and explained that we needed to tip it to the oil side, not the gas side and to use a smaller gas kind. These guys could not have been nicer or more helpful.\r more

Mower menders is great. I have been using them for 20+ years. We used to take my dad's mowers there and we found them through friends who used them to maintain commercial equipment. Now I'm taking my 13 year old mower there to drop it off and buy a new one. The deck has a perforation and I prefer to just get a new machine. But I know they'll have what I need and either they'll help me load it up or it'll be delivered in a few days. Mower Menders is much more reliable and helpful to me than the big box stores. I always see other pros in there and home owners bringing all kinds of gear. They usually have parts too. But this time I'm chucking it and getting a new mower. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did. more

The people at Mower Menders of Georgia are about the rudest people that I have ever done business with. They belittle and criticized the customer. I live not far from the store and need mower parts quite often. Many times, I know they have the parts, but because they are so rude, I often order them offline, paying high shipping cost so I DON'T HAVE TO SEE OR HEAR THEM. I went in there today for the last time, where I was chided and scolded for not having my part number with me. I didn't know that I would be going near the store, so I didn't have it with me. Good ridince Mower Menders of Georgia! I constantly tell everyone around me not to do business with you. more

My wife and I have had our lawn mower serviced by Mower Menders every spring for 2-3 years. While the service wasn't always ""with a smile"", the work was good and the mower kept mowing. The mower is a Toro and about 4 years old.\r \r Last summer (2011) the self-propelled drive on the mower wasn't working correctly. I took the mower to the shop and after they examined it, we were told that the transmission was completely broken and it would cost us approximately $250 to replace.\r \r We decided to just buy a new mower because the cost of the repair was high enough to justify the expense coupled with the added ease of use of a brand new mower. \r \r Since the mower could still cut grass, just not in a self-propelled fashion, I gave the mower to my dad for use at their church, which has a small yard.\r \r He decided to refurbuish it a little, ie clean it up, tighten bolts, cables, etc... While doing this he discovered the drive belt for the self-propel was frayed. After getting a new belt, installing it, and tightening the cable that engages the drive, the mower works perfectly.\r \r Thus, the conclusion I reach is that Mower Menders willfully, purposely, and dishonestly told me that my mower needed a $250 repair, when really it needed a new belt and some extremely minor repair work. \r \r It is possible that the person who worked on it was simply inexperienced and missed the simple fix I've outlined. However, even if this is the case, Mower Menders is still culpable of incompetent service, if not outright dishonesty.\r \r Either way, Mower Menders is not a place to take your lawn mower for service. Since they are a well known and successful business, I'm inclined to believe that the quoted repair was fraudulently given to me in a ham-fisted attempt to bilk me out of a significant sum of money. \r \r I wish I could give them no stars or negative stars as a rating, but the website does not allow this. \r \r DO NOT HAVE YOUR MOWER SERVICED AT MOWER MENDERS. more
