Local repair shops, in fact getting repairs of any kind is really difficult. There was a big camera repair facility nearby, started way back as a specialist in view camera lenses, now gone. There was a small appliance repair where I had a vacuum cleaner motor replaced, also gone. The problem is that the cost of repairing has gotten too close to or higher than replacement cost. We have a sofa & loveseat with fabric no longer holding the stuffing in place, but to reupholster would cost much more than replacement.
