replacement service

Exchange for broken

A replacement service provides a substitute when something is unavailable, damaged, or inadequate.

Insurance companies offer replacement services for stolen items.

Airlines arrange replacement service on other carriers when flights cancel.

The term also covers temporary staffing—a replacement service supplies workers when regular employees are absent: We called a replacement service to cover her maternity leave.
