Repair and maintenance providers

[DRAFT]

With the goal of providing more value for Open Products Facts users, we want to make it easy to find a way to repair or maintain an object.

This page will attempt to find a way to list all repair or maintain systems/resources in the world, with matching APIs when they exist, and with URL structures.

We need to address Geo-availability, category competence, free/not free, actual help or tutorial (like a tutorial video or a manual)

Repair

• Local community repair options
• Repair services options
• Repair Videos/Documents
