If you do not have a warranty and have problems with vacuum cleaners, toasters, radios, and so on, look under "Electric Appliances — Repairs" or "Radio (Vacuum Cleaner, etc.) Repair" in the Yellow Pages of the telephone book. Try to find a repair shop specializing in your particular brand name, if possible. Other kinds of repairs — china, glass, zippers, etc. — are also listed by item in most phone books. Repairs are very expensive, however, and you may be charged a minimum fee just to have the item examined, particularly if you ask someone to come to your home to repair a large piece of equipment or an appliance. Sadly, in most cases involving small appliances, it is cheaper to replace an item than to repair it.
