Let's face it, it has been a cold and boring winter but spring is just around the corner. Here at Humphreys we believe that there is no substitution for preparation. Come Spring there are going to be a lot of lawn mower owners who start up their mower, find something wrong and wait in line at a lawn mower repair shop (like ours) for someone to fix it. Naturally that is all done on a first come first serve basis, but why not get a jump on the line now?
Below is a list of 20 things you need to check before you start mowing in spring.
Clean Unit
Change Oil & Filter
Change or Clean Air Filter
