Working on anything by the hour isn't cheap. I am an advocate for repairing things, HOWEVER, there are so many things made today that are just not fixable and cost effective, unless you can do it yourself.

Wildwood Mower (SE corner of 301 & 44, beside Auto Zone) charges $20.00 for an estimate, which can be applied to cost of repair if you choose to have the work done.

Describe your problem(s) and perhaps I can give you some suggestions as to the cause.

Unless the trimmer you have is a professional quality piece (ie. several hundred dollar type of thing), you're probably going to be better off just ditching the problematic one and buying something new. Found this out myself a number of years ago with a leaf blower.

However, the issue could be something really simple/easy to fix - might at least be worth having a repair shop take a quick look at it.
