The Death of the Repairman: Why Service is Dead

In 1980, if your refrigerator broke, you called a local repairman. He arrived the same day, fixed it for $50, and knew exactly what he was doing. Today, that man is gone. We are witnessing the extinction of the American Repairman. In his place is a 6-week waiting list, a $200 "Service Call" fee, and a technician who is trained to sell, not to fix. In this investigation, we expose the "College Scam" that removed shop classes from high schools and demonized blue-collar work for a generation. We track the "Demographic Cliff" that is about to hit the skilled trades, and we reveal how Private Equity firms are quietly buying up your local HVAC and Plumbing companies to turn them into sales machines. From the "Parts Cannon" diagnostic method to the proprietary software locks that gatekeep the industry, this is the story of how we forgot how to fix things. Topics Covered: The Gray Wave: Why 40% of electricians are retiring with no one to replace them. The College Scam: How guidance counselors destroyed the trades. The Repair Equation: Why manufacturers price parts to force you to buy new. Private Equity: Why "Bob's Heating & Air" is actually owned by Wall Street. The "Parts Cannon": The death of true diagnostics. The Solution: Why the future belongs to those who know how to use a wrench. Stop respecting the degree. Start respecting the skill.
