Slow computer? It may not need replacing. An SSD or memory upgrade, a dust cleanout, or a clean reinstall can bring a lot of machines back. A technician can check what yours supports first. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/12…

Monday morning, three steps: pull last month's parts invoices and RMAs for your true cost per part; run your top ten repairs against the floor; put the minimum contribution in dollars on the pricing sheet. techcareassociation.org/2026…

How to Mark Up Parts in a Tech Repair Shop: The True Cost Formula

Markup is not margin. The invoice is not the cost. The TCA's true cost formula, the minimum every repair must earn, and the floor to check before you quote. Part 5 of Fix the Shop First.

A Tech Cleanout is not about getting rid of things. It is about getting them moving again. Half of end-of-life smartphones are just left unused at home. Yours could be someone's phone. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/05…

Double a $12 part: it contributes about $9 toward a ticket that needs about $104. Double a $140 part: it collects the whole ticket twice. One rule fails at both ends. Illustrative. Part 5 of Fix the Shop First: techcareassociation.org/2026…

Before an old phone leaves your hands: back it up, move your authenticator, sign out, turn off find-my-device, pull the SIM, erase. 15 minutes. 1 in 5 resold phones still held the previous owner's data. wheretorepair.org/2026/10/05…
