Mower Repair Shops Staying Backed Up

Campbell Co., VA - The Spring temperatures outside are really heating up the business at area repair shops. Local lawn mower mechanics are already overloaded with work, and some of them are dealing with a three-week waiting list.

They say the problem is everyone tends to wait until they need to use their mowers.

At Timberlake Appliance and Lawn Mower Repair, the rush is on.

"I enjoy it. They might not enjoy it, the guys that's working on them," said shop ownerRon Mattox.

The business's three full-time mechanics are getting up to 20 new repair jobs a day.

"Usually we'll stay busy up until the end of June," saidMattox.

"We start picking up this time of year, but not this bad, not this much," saidHead MechanicKenny Rees.
