Hi, all,
Our riding lawn mower is one we bought at Sears a long time ago (Craftsman), and we always had the repairs and maintenance done through Sears. Now that Sears is gone, what's the best place to call? It's grinding instead of starting, and I'm suspecting a sparkplug problem, but we don't seem to have a tester handy.
Thanks, all!

Weingartz would be a good idea to check. I had them service our 20 year old MTD snow thrower that became impossible to start and they did great. Also were able to pickup and drop off (for a fee) to Dave me renting a trailer.
Even though it¡¯s a craftsman it¡¯s likely the engine is a Briggs and Stratton or other common brand that any good shop can work on.?

Mobile Mower is the best, they will come onsite.? However minimum charge is $150.? ?So I order their "complete tune up package" to cover the minimum and then pay extra for what's actually wrong.

You guys are all the best! And as a person who doesn't drive any vehicle other than the mower, Mobile Mower sounds like a godsend. Thank you all!?
