We will always when appropriate explain that we have a “no charges, no promises” policy. Clients usually watch the repairer at work, and he or she will explain what is being done and if necessary that a (full) repair is not possible (or economic) and why.

More importantly, during the flood disaster, when we had around 30 repairers every day for about 6 weeks, Fixing washing machines, fridges, furniture, power tools and more. Its a story worth learning from for others facing an increased frequency of disasters.

Thanks for your comment, Stan. Indeed, many things can be re-used even if their original function has not been restored 100 percent. At the Repair Café people are reminded of this and appreciate this. Of course, many Repair Café visitors already know this and value their products even if they are not perfect anymore. However, in many cases the original function can be restored successfully.

How is consumer/volunteer… satisfaction//dis satisfaction…expectation, managed ?
Has this not been an issue?
