The Small Engine Barn has a very nice blonde lady and we had a great conversation about my Ariens 24. I go ..... it's in totally excellent condition with good paint, and no rust because the prior owner kept it in a heated garage in Brentwood. And then I say it's either a 2006 or 2007 . And she goes "2006 and 2007 were some of their best years for Ariens!" .....

For $89 the Small Engine Barn will replace the oil, spark plug and hit any grease fittings with a grease gun and adjust the belts and small control pulleys Any replacement belts are extra money for the parts.

I can do all this stuff with one hand tied behind my back and blind folded, while outdoors in the deep freeze, plus $89 is about $70 too rich for me. I'm a $19.95 type of a customer.
