Beat the rush and get ready now for spring; bring mower to Howard’s Lawn Equipment | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

The grass may not be green yet but before you know it, it will be time to mow the lawn.

Now’s the time to bring your mower and other lawn tools in to Howard’s Lawn Equipment for service. Annual inspection and maintenance is a good idea for safe and efficient operation of yard equipment. Just because the mower worked the last time you used it in the fall doesn’t mean it will start up with no problems this spring. The ethanol in fuel is hard on lawn equipment, particularly fuel lines and carburetors, and may have caused damage while the mower was in storage. The only way to know is to have your equipment checked and serviced.

The staff at Howard’s can repair any make or model, including riding and push mowers. Not only does the shop maintain an excellent inventory of repair parts and accessories, they also provide estimates on repairs costs so you know up-front whether it makes more sense to repair an old mower or invest in a new model.

As the calendar moves closer to spring, the service department at Howard’s gets increasingly busy. Bringing in your equipment now ensures that you beat the rush! And remember, there is nothing as frustrating as a broken mower when the yard is growing out of control! Visit Howard’s Lawn Equipment today at 1710 Ave. J, telephone 744-3946.

For do-it-yourselfers, Howard’s carries supplies such as blades, belts, trimmer line, and tune-up kits.
