Our Services Include Extras No One Else Offers!

*Additional units add $15 per unit.  Price includes both directions.
Unlimited Blade Re-sharpening
All Season Long -
If we sharpen your blade, or you buy a new blade from us, and we will resharpen it at no additional cost, all season long.  No other shop offers this as a free service.  Just bring your machine back anytime, and we will re-sharpen the blade as many times as you like, usually while you wait.
Free Winterization with Any Tune Up - 
The most common reason for a mower to stop working, is improper storage.  Gasoline left in the machine - even just a little, even if you run it until it dies - can damage the carburetor and prevent it from running correctly or not start at all. So if you have a tune up done at Modern Mower, we will winterize your mower and get it properly cleaned out for storage at no additional cost with any tune up when you bring it in during the recommended time. (outside of recommended time, winterization is at additional charge)  No other shop offers this as a free service. (typically the cost is around $30) 
Faster Repair Times - 
The time it takes to get your equipment completed is often MUCH faster than most other shops.  We can often get equipment finished in 1-3 days for common problems, maintenance or tune ups.  We can even get many done the same day, if you bring it in early.

Not Just Fixed, Dependable Again!

We work on EVERY Brand.

We work on everything from Exmark, Scag, AYP, Bolens and Craftsman, to Toro and Yard Machines, and everything in between, we work on them all.  Some shops do not work on brands like Craftsman or Yard Machines, which doesn't make much sense, since they work on the same machines with different names.  We even fix the Stranger Chinese made Brands.  Lawn mower repair made easy - just bring it in, we work on it here.  


Pickup and Delivery Service is Available

At Modern Mower we know not everyone owns a truck, and lawn mowers are not always the easiest things to transport.  Therefore, we offer a very low cost pickup and delivery service for our local area.  Just $70 round trip within service area.  Combined with our lower cost for services, we often cost less even with the pickup and delivery charge.

What Sets Us Apart

The Expert IS the Owner
At most shops, expertise walks out the door when a technician leaves. At Modern Mower, owner Brian Rismoen is the master technician — 30 years of hands-on experience that isn't going anywhere. When you bring your equipment to Modern Mower, you're getting access to one of the most knowledgeable technicians in the industry.

Premium Equipment and Techniques
We invest in diagnostic equipment and repair techniques that most shops don't have and won't buy. We don't just fix problems; we eliminate the conditions that caused them.

Repair, Don't Replace
Many shops replace parts because they lack the expertise or equipment to repair them properly. We repair what others replace — saving you money while delivering results that last longer than new-part replacements from less skilled shops.

Our Reputation
​We don't just claim to be good — we have the documentation to prove it. Over 700 customers have taken the time to leave five-star reviews. We routinely go two or more years between negative reviews. Other professionals call us when they're stuck on a problem they can't solve. That's not marketing language — it's documented fact.
