How Much Is a Lawn Mower Tune-Up?
In This Guide
Regular servicing is the cheapest way to keep a mower reliable, so it helps to know the lawn mower tune up cost before you book one. A tune-up covers the basics that keep an engine healthy, fresh oil, a new spark plug, a clean air filter, and a once-over, and it typically runs about $40 to $100 for a push mower, more for riding machines. Spending a little on a tune-up prevents the bigger costs of neglect. Here is what it includes and what it costs.
What a Tune-Up Costs
| Mower | Tune-up cost |
|---|---|
| Push mower (Wildwood) | From $38 |
| Riding mower (Wildwood) | From $182 |
| Zero-turn (Wildwood) | From $267 |
| House call | From $75 |
Costs rise with mower size, since riding and zero-turn mowers have larger engines and more to service.
What a Tune-Up Includes
- Oil change: fresh oil to protect the engine.
- New spark plug: for easy starting and clean running.
- Air filter: cleaned or replaced so the engine breathes.
- General check: blade, controls, and fuel system looked over.
Why a Tune-Up Is Worth It
When to Get One
The best time is once a year, ideally in spring before the mowing season, so the mower starts first pull and runs well all summer. A tune-up is also worth doing if the mower has been hard to start, running rough, or sitting unused over winter.
