The impact of these programs are primarily economic in nature. Repair keeps more dollars in the community versus money spent purchasing new items manufactured elsewhere. An economy with a healthy repair industry provides more jobs and more income to its citizens. Repair shifts the locus of control to the consumer, offering more than just the options provided by a globalized producer complex.

Repair Business Incubator & Cooperative
The nonprofit serves as a cooperative repair shop space that allows individual mechanics to set up and build their own independent repair businesses. In addition to providing a collaborative workshop environment to promote technical skill building, we also support each with business coaching and support including business formation, branding and marketing, accounting, and bookkeeping. Our current resident business is:
The capacity of the Link Lane shop is set at 5 concurrent, full-time mechanics. Each mechanic is charged a monthly amount to cover the overhead costs of operations.

Resale
The nonprofit takes in a large number of items from the public, many of which are very suitable for repair. These items make excellent skill building projects for mechanics. When finished, the items are made available to the public at no cost. Donations to help support the mission are optional, and appreciated.
