Yes, you can get a higher quality repair guy. Or you could get another cheaper plow that is high quality, so you don't need it fixed again.

No, because in command economies, there is no competition. So, there are no other repair services that would offer higher-quality repairs or cheaper equipment. Additionally, no incentive exists for the technician to provide high-quality service.
