What are some things you would take to a repair shop instead of replacing them?

“I've taken my lawn mower in, and I've had a repairman come out to look at my washer and dryer and my stove before. With most electronics, though, I would probably buy a new one if I couldn't fix it myself.”

“Any major appliance. I've taken my favorite pair of shoes in before, my watch and glasses, of course. Anything that's still in good condition.”

“Expensive electronics or appliances and any luxury items, like a watch or anything that can't be replaced.”

“My TV or my lawn mower, I guess. I can't really think of anything else.”
