I have a lawn mower whom I took to get fixed by a person. Now the mower is acting up and it’s been less than 3 months
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Can you please tell me where this occurred? Do you have a warranty or any written agreement with the person who fixed your lawn mower?
No he would deny
Hello ****, if you're in the U.S., some states have "implied warranty of workmanship", which means that the work should be done in a competent, workmanlike manner. However, without a written agreement, enforcing this can be challenging.
Oh
Hello ****, without a written agreement, it can be challenging to hold the repair person accountable. However, if you have proof of payment for the repair, it might be helpful. Which state are you located in? This information can help me provide more specific legal guidance.
what would you recommend me doing?
It's important to know your location to give advice. If you're in the U.S., consider:
- Contact the repair person and express concerns

- Consult a local consumer protection agency.

Remember to keep all communication records.

If you paid in cash, did you get a receipt or any form of proof of payment? This will be vital in supporting your claim.
But I have the messages from me asking of the mower
That's good ****. Text messages can serve as evidence. Remember to:
