Repairable
Repairable is a decision the customer makes based on the cost of the repair. Most everything can be repaired but at what cost. The repairman, at least this repairman, gives the customer an estimate to repair the machine with, possibly, a recommendation. Ultimately it is the customers choice weather it is repairable or not. A "lazy" repairman won't be around long since his job depends on making money, thus repairs. Repairman who only make a service call charge on every call would not be too successful. If the customer feels the cost of the repair is too high, one can look for alternatives. Buy new, look for another repairman who may charge less, fix it themself, etc.
