i do all my own work even on my cars only thing my cars have ever gone to the shop for has been tires and alignments and if i had the equipment to do that i would be doing that too lol i never even used the warrenty on the craftsman push mower i bought new 11 years ago. it was taken in one time by my brother and sears had it for a month when they finally gave it back it was worse than when he took it in . i was so mad i was about to mow someones butt with it where they did the repairs . went in for a tune up came out hard to start all the bolts on the engine cover stripped out they took the head off to replace it because they stripped the holes in that and when they replaced it they never put a new head gasket on it had half the old one stuck on it . i wasnt happy
