Toilet Repair in Eads, TN
Only 29% of homes in Eads predate 1990. At 94% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
In Eads, 94% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Eads’s housing suggests
With only 29% of homes built before 1990, Eads is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
