Well if that gap continues to close, the 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of indy repairers surviving compared with 20 years ago will probably dwindle by a further 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}.
There will possibly be enough work for 2 or 3 of us in an average town, helping the minority who still prefer to repair, however cheap replacements become.

Yes, business will always continue to change & we either adapt or move on, but as an admirer of quality engineering, the current state of play does make me angry 👿

Re: A philosophical viewpoint

A word for chris,if you could let me know where i can obtain the correct triac’s for repairing boards i would be grateful,i still prefer repairing something(a better sense of achievement if it goes to plan than repalcing a board).
Talking about the cost of repairs,here’s a prime example;Servis wm brushes worn out,on two occaisions phoned Qualtex as i havent had the items on the van,only to be told brushes not available,cost of motor £200,
appliance cost £199.99.How can any manufacturer justify that.I now cut the old brushes out of the holder,solder a set of bosch brushes in,reassemble and away it goes.

I thinks not Tim. 😉

Mind you I do think there’s a job opportunity at Haier for anyone who could re-write their website into proper grammatical English…take a look for yourselves but here’s an example I found earlier : –

Haier website wrote:1.Choose from 11 programs, convenient uses to provide you much benefit
2.Front-Load structured to ensure placing clothes more facility
3.Humanistic design for control panel to help expedient operation
4.No need to be worried because of the function of intelligent-memory
5.Satisfied to encourage children’s curiosity because of the child
6.Perish your trouble because of the alarm to the fault
7.Make you happy because of quick-wash in 29 mins
8.Reassure for you because of the 24hours pre-wash which may offer you washing anywhere and anytime.

I’ll have a number 6 please and a portion of number 5 for the kids :rotl:
