how much does it cost to fix a lawn mower?????

Bought a Snapper 1 year ago and it's been in storage..... while in storage cats snapped the pull cord that starts the engine. What is a fair cost for this?

Or should I just buy a new Honda mower at Costco for 0?

    You can pick up the replacement cord for $10-$20, and can actually install it yourself if you chose to take on the task. I’m guessing but it should only be about 30 minutes to install.
    Good Luck!!!

    my old mower was 200 bucks and some axle broke and it would have cost me 150 to fix it, so i would recommend a new one.

    There’s not much sense in junking a year-old mower over a pull rope.
    I’d guess 50 bucks a a mower shop.
    An estimate is just a phone call away…

    to just fix the power cord (pull starter cord) all you have to do is unscrew the top housing over the cord and put a new one in. You can go to any lawnmower repair store (maybe even a home depot??) and get a rebuilt one for around $20 yourself, cost more for labor if they put it in..

    Take the starter assembly off the motor. Remove the cord, take it to the hardware store and buy a piece the same diameter and length with a little to spare. It will cost about a dollar.

    If all that is wrong is the pull cord, then it should cost you no more than $50 at the absolute max. We do pull cords here for $15 – $25, depending on if we have to put the spring back in. Put fresh gas in the mower and it should start.

    Why spend more money, when you have a good mower?
