The problem
Independent appliance repair shops in India rarely offer written warranties on their work, leaving customers stranded when a fixed machine breaks down again a week later. Local technicians avoid guarantees because spare parts markets are flooded with unbranded duplicates and customer homes often have unstable power supply that damages electronics immediately after repair.
Building trust without corporate backing is tough for neighbourhood repair vendors who rely purely on word of mouth. Customers end up paying repeated service fees for the same fault because there is no paper trail or accountability. Designers need to figure out how small repair businesses can offer manageable service guarantees without taking on financial ruin from bad parts or fickle home conditions.
Success criteria
The warranty terms must protect the small shop owner from liability due to voltage fluctuations while giving the customer clear confidence in the repair work.
