      Here's the average cost per hr to fix a mower: Lawn mower repair hourly rate Lawn mower repair technicians charge an average of $55 per hour, but rates range from $45 to $100 per hour Midwest Equipment charged me $130.00 pre hour to fix my mower. 3 hrs work cost me $400.00 in labor alone. The math doesn't even work out. Simply a HUGE RIP OFF!!!! Stay away from this business unless you really don't care about your money!!!!!

      Ron, I want to apologize first of all for not communicating the charges with you in an accurate manner. I'm a bit confused as I look over your invoice for the repairs we did at the Tremont location. From what I see, you were billed 3.65 hours at $108 for a total of $394.20 and a shop charge of $5.00. Did we possibly quote you a different amount for the labor? I understand that you spent a large sum on money on your mower repair, I want to do what I can to understand your negative experience at the Tremont store. Can you look over the invoice and check for the correct hourly billing? Let me know, you can reach me on 309-208-4322 or on [email protected]. Please let me know if the mower was repaired properly as well, thanks! Steve M****

      I had called the Tremont shop on 2 different occasions and both times I was told "We're at $200.00 and we're waiting on the cable bushings"....I was under the impression that that $200.00 was my bill. Therefore you can imagine how surprised I was to have a bill of $682.53 just to tune up and fix a downed cylinder that was simply a magneto gone bad due to a mouse chewing on the wire. So, I hope you "understand" my problem. Also, after delivery back to me, after being fixed, the mower would not start. The battery was dead!!! I attempted to call the Tremont business back, all day long, all I got was a recording saying they were busy. I left a message and got NO RETURN CALL BACK EVER.... I'm assuming your shop had it running in order to fix it, so I do not understand the dead battery after your Tremont location dropped it off. Unless this was a retaliation attempt for the bad review.... I'm very upset at the hourly rate you guys charge and I was NEVER told the hourly rate in first place. I would have NEVER taken it there to begin with. The hourly rate you charge, is more than the US average hourly repair rate...IT'S A MOWER!!!!
