| - I really wanted to love this business... rally I did. Dave's is one of the few places in the area that will work on lawnmower engines.
Well once upon a time, I had me a mower that just refused to start. I replaced the air filter and cleaned the housing, to no effect. I figured the next step was a rebuilt carburetor.
After a quick search, I found Dave's via Yelp. I called them up to confirm that they did indeed work on lawn mower engines, and headed right over.
The place is pretty cool, kind of a throwback to my earlier years, when life wasn't much more than otter pops and big league chew.
I plopped down my $20 deposit and headed home... to an overgrown yard and a love letter from my HOA. Called Dave a week later to check on it, but it wasn't ready. A few days later, it was!
Came down, paid an additional $102, and took my mower back home to do some big time pruning. 30 pulls of the starter cord later, my mower roared to life. But I was a tad winded, and for $122, I would have thought 3 pulls suffice.
So now, every time I roll 'ole bessie' out for another trim job, I make sure I've warmed up my shoulder, in anticipation of another yank-fest.
