Who would want to own a mower shop these days trying to sell and deal with the public who can see cheap mowers at Aldi/Bunnings and ebay. For the cost of a service it is cheaper to buy a new one. Sure once they have been caught a couple of time when the cheapy plays up and nobody will help they are a bit more selective in what they buy or just get the "Jim's" man to do it. Once upon a time you could make a living in a milk bar or mower shop but not anymore unless you have a good mowing contractor base to work with
