Repair Revenue Stream: Outsourced FAQ's

How does outsourced repair work?

You take in the customer's device and repair need, send the work to a partner repair provider, and return the finished device, charging the customer a marked-up price. You earn a margin on each job without doing the repair yourself.

Why outsource instead of repairing in-house?

Outsourcing avoids the tools, training, and workspace an in-house shop needs, letting you offer repair immediately with little setup or risk. It is ideal for testing demand or serving it without committing to a full operation.

How do I profit from outsourced repair?

You mark up the provider's price to the customer, keeping the difference. Margins are thinner than in-house, but you carry far less cost and risk, and the added foot traffic creates chances to sell your other products.

When should I move repair in-house?

Consider bringing repair in-house once demand is steady enough that the captured margin justifies the investment in tools and training. Many stores start outsourced to prove demand, then transition in-house to keep the full profit.
