I charge a fixed rate of 75 CAD/hour, with the goal of encouraging people to repair rather than replace. Additionally, I promise that you’ll never pay more for a repair than the cost of a new item. Let’s work together to avoid unnecessary purchases !
Why bother fixing something that’s broken when it’s often easier and cheaper to just buy new and toss it out ? Well, consider this : In 2020 alone, Canadians generated a staggering 35 million tons of waste. Despite the fact that 10 million tons of this waste found new life through recycling or reuse, there are still 25 million tons ending up in landfills. That’s roughly 1000 kilograms of waste per person each year, the majority destined to the dump.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can change this narrative. I’ve always been passionate about fixing things. Any things. And this is a skill I want to share and make others benefit. Let me give a second life to your belongings, hopefully saving you money, reducing waste, and contributing to a healthier planet.
My name is Alex, I have a passion for fixing. Understanding how things works and attempting to repair anything that’s broken is just part of who I am. It turned out to be a pretty useful skill, and I like to think I’ve rescued quite a few items from being thrown away !
Originally from Belgium, I studied electro-mechanical engineering, which probably explains my knack for understanding mechanisms. It’s been almost a decade since I immigrated to Canada and moved in Squamish.
I’ve always disliked buying new things. I’ve never really felt the need to, since most of what I need already exists, and conveniently, there’s usually someone nearby looking to get rid of it.
