repair shop

Where mechanics work

A repair shop is a business that fixes broken or malfunctioning items.

The term usually specifies what's repaired: auto repair shop, computer repair shop, shoe repair shop.

Without a qualifier, it often defaults to automotive repair.

Unlike retail stores, repair shops focus on restoring existing items rather than selling new ones.
