Broken but fixable — at least sometimes. That phrase seems to describe the gadgets, machines, equipment and technical marvels that fill modern homes (and offices). Not to mention what's going on with the home itself. Or, with the automobiles we drive. Certainly, problems with repair services of all kinds are among the top complaints received by consumer affairs organizations. But repair problems don't have to be your number one complaint.
