For over two decades, Mower Medics has been the reliable heartbeat of the Greater Carrollwood landscaping community. Located right at the corner of Linebaugh and N. Armenia Avenue—tucked between 7-Eleven and Gino’s—we’ve spent 22 years ensuring that Tampa homeowners and professionals never have to fight their equipment to get the job done. Under the leadership of Jeffrey Ellerbee, our shop has earned a reputation for providing "old-fashioned" honest service in a fast-paced world.
Whether you’re dealing with a pressure washer that refuses to kick over or a commercial zero-turn that needs a seasonal refresh, we bring informed confidence to every diagnostic. We understand that in Florida, your grass doesn’t stop growing just because your mower did, so we prioritize efficient, high-value repairs that get you back to work quickly.

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
