Outstanding push mower repair from the team at Bob's Small Engine Repair, El Paso. I went into the store today June 17, 2017 looking to get my lawn mower blade sharpened and get parts for my weed eater. They showed me that the blade had to get replaced and got me the correct one.

Professional outdoor power equipment service service at Bob's Small Engine Repair, El Paso. Always take my mower there when it needs repair, maintenance. Last time I took it was 3yrs. ago ( boy trying to mow metal, and this time-boy trying to mow metal part II). Prices are fair, service is a few days depending on their workload. People are friendly. Get this new mowers are expensive! Unless you find one in someone's yard or garage. I think it's safer to just fix the one you have. Take it to Bob's.
