Repair is better than Recycling: Making our things last longer is both More efficient and More cost- effective than Mining theM for raw Materials.
Repair Saves the planet. Earth has limited resources and we can’t run a linear manufacturing process forever. The best way to be efficient is to reuse what we already have!
Repair Saves you Money. Fixing things is often free, and usually cheaper than replacing them. doing the repair yourself saves serious dough.
Repair teaches engineering. The best way to find out how something works is to take it apart!
If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it. Repair connects people and devices, creating bonds that transcend consumption. self-repair is sustainable.

We have the Right:
to open and repair our things—without voiding the warranty to devices that can be opened
to error codes and wiring diagrams to troubleshooting instructions and Flowcharts
to repair documentation For everything to choose our own repair technician
to remove ‘do not remove’ stickers to repair things in the privacy oF our own homes
to replace any and all consumables ourselves
to hardware that doesn’t require proprietary tools to repair
to available, reasonably priced service parts
