Repair or Replace? Your Ultimate Lawn Mower Cost-Saving Guide

Is your lawn mower coughing, stalling, or refusing to start? Before you invest in a new machine, pause that purchase decision! Often, a simple repair costs a fraction of a replacement—and can extend your mower’s life for years. Let’s break down when to fix vs. replace and how to maximize savings.

Why Repairing Beats Buying New (90% of the Time)

Replacing spark plugs, blades, or air filters typically costs under $30–$50—less than 10% of a new mower’s price ($300–$1,000). Even complex fixes (like belts, carburetors, or starters) rarely exceed $150. Meanwhile, new mid-range mowers start at $400+.

🔧 The 50% Rule:

If repairs cost less than half the price of a new mower, fixing is almost always the smarter financial move.

When Replacement Makes Sense

Consider upgrading if:

  • Your mower is 8–10+ years old

  • It has major engine failure or hydraulic issues

  • You’ve spent heavily on repeated repairs

The #1 Ignored Quick Fix: Drive Belts

A frayed or snapped drive belt is the most common culprit behind loss of power or uneven cutting. Yet most homeowners replace the entire machine! Truth:

  • Replacement takes 15–30 minutes

  • Costs just $10–$40 for a premium belt

  • Restores like-new performance

✅ Pro Tip:
Keep your mower thriving for 5+ extra years with OEM-spec belts—they’re the lifeline of your machine!
