Frequently Asked Questions Lawn Mower Repairs by Sandersons

If you’re searching for lawn mower repair near me in Perth, look no further. Sandersons has been servicing and repairing outdoor power equipment across WA for over 50 years. Here are answers to the most common questions we get from customers about our mobile lawn mower repairs, pricing, parts, and service areas.

 

How often should I service my lawn mower?

At a minimum, once per year — ideally before the mowing season kicks off. If you're running your mower frequently or commercially, more regular servicing will prevent breakdowns and extend its life.

 

Can I perform maintenance on my lawn mower myself?

Basic things like checking oil, cleaning filters, or emptying the fuel tank — yes. But when it comes to engine tuning, blade balancing, or carburettor work, it’s best left to our trained small engine mechanics. That’s what we’re here for.

 

What should I do if my mower won’t start?

Check the basics: fuel, spark plug, and air filter. If that doesn’t do it, give us a call. It could be a blocked carb, faulty diaphragm, or something more serious that needs proper tools to diagnose.

 

Is mobile lawn mower repair more expensive than taking it to a workshop?

Not at Sandersons. Our pricing is transparent and competitive — and when you factor in fuel, loading time, and downtime, mobile service often works out cheaper.

 

What types of mowers can you repair?

We service most petrol and battery-powered mowers: push mowers, rotary, reel mowers — domestic or professional grade. Brands we work on daily include Honda, Bushranger, EGO, Victa, Masport and others.

 

How can I keep my mower running well between services?

Don’t leave old fuel sitting in the tank. Clean the underside of your deck after mowing. Change the oil annually and let us handle the tune-ups. It’ll save you time and money down the line.

 

Do you handle emergency repairs outside business hours?

We do our best. Give us a ring and we’ll do what we can to help. If we can’t get there that day, we’ll schedule you into the earliest available slot.

 

Do you service all Perth suburbs?

Yes — we service most of Perth including Osborne Park, Joondalup, Balcatta, Morley, Rockingham, Baldivis, Floreat and surrounding areas. If you're unsure, just give us a call.

 

Can you repair both electric and petrol mowers?

Absolutely. Our technicians are trained in both — from battery diagnostics to full engine tune-ups.

 

Do your repairs come with a warranty?

Yes. All our workmanship is covered, and we stand by any genuine parts we install. If it’s not right, we’ll make it right.

 

What if my mower breaks down during peak season?

Book immediately. During peak times (spring/summer), our slots fill fast. We prioritise breakdowns and urgent jobs where possible.
