Keeping Detroit’s Equipment Running Strong Since 2019

In a city where hard work and self-reliance matter, R & B Lawn Mowers has become a trusted resource for homeowners and landscapers alike. Since 2019, owner Vaughn Knight has built a family-owned shop focused on helping customers get more life and performance out of their equipment.

With a hands-on approach and a commitment to honest guidance, we make sure you’re not just getting a quick fix—you’re getting the right solution for the long run.

Mastery Over Every Engine

Whether you're maintaining a small yard or handling seasonal cleanups, dependable equipment makes all the difference. Our team brings "informed confidence" to every repair, offering the kind of insight you won’t find at big box stores.

Our Specialized Maintenance and Repair Services:

  • Detailed carburetor cleaning and fuel system service to restore engine performance.
  • Engine diagnostics and repair for walk-behind mowers and small equipment.
  • Professional blade and chainsaw sharpening for clean, efficient cutting.
  • Routine tune-ups including oil changes, spark plug replacement, and pull cord repairs.

The R & B Lawn Mowers Edge

What sets us apart is our commitment to doing things differently. As Vaughn puts it, we focus on being true experts—offering real advice instead of just handing over parts. That means every repair comes with insight, helping you avoid repeat issues and unnecessary costs.

As a growing family-owned business, we take pride in providing reliable turnaround times while servicing trusted brands like Echo, Briggs & Stratton, Honda, Craftsman, Toro, and Troy-Bilt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about lawn mower repair services

Most lawn mowers need annual maintenance including oil changes, blade sharpening, and air filter replacement. In Detroit, MI, we recommend servicing before the spring mowing season.

Common signs include difficulty starting, uneven cuts, excessive vibration, strange noises, or smoke coming from the engine. Don't ignore these warning signs.

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.

If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Simple repairs take 1-2 days. More complex engine work may take 3-5 days, especially during peak season in Detroit, MI when shops are busiest.

Yes. Most repair shops in Detroit, MI service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.

Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.

Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.

Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.

Regularly change the oil, clean or replace air filters, sharpen blades, and use fresh fuel with stabilizer. These simple tasks prevent most common problems.
