The trick to most of this is to purchase the lawn mower from a local retail store that also repairs such. Most will place you at the top of the list if they know you and know that you purchased item from them.
Saving a few bucks at a big box store bites you at the other end.
Sears sends all repairs to Connecticut. No local repairs at Sears anymore. And many of Sears small engines are made in China.
The big box stores also contract out repairs to others and machine has to be shipped.
Find a local retailer and purchase from them. The few dollars more will save you time on the other end.
Now the repairs and time for repairs are only as good as the proprietor of the retail store. So do ask around.
And a note about gasoline.
Don't use ethanol gasoline from ordinary gas stations.
Pay extra for the small cans that are ethanol free.
Or find a place that sells gasoline without ethanol.
One of the marinas still sells ethanol free gasoline.
Moultonborough Airport sells ethanol free gasoline.
