The Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR) fraternity for agriculture and the Sigma Alpha sorority at the University of Delaware will host this year’s push lawn mower tuneup.

The lawn mower tuneup is in its 17th year, and over that time period, 8,750 mowers have been serviced.

Last year, over 650 mowers were serviced. 

The lawn mower tuneup will be held this year on Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14, at the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) campus, with pickup on Saturday and Sunday, April 14 and 15.

The tuneup is provided by trained students and alumni members of the clubs and includes washing the mower, an oil change, spark plug replacement, air filter cleaning and blade sharpening.

Service performed is tuneup only; no repairs are performed and no riding mowers will be accepted.

The cost of the tuneup is $40. Payment in the form of cash or check may be made at drop-off. Checks should be made out to Alpha Gamma Rho. 

Lawn mowers may be dropped off and picked up in the parking lot behind Worrilow and Townsend halls on UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources campus at 531 South College Ave., just north of the Fred Rust Ice Arena.
