The coaches are experienced and can guide you to repair your own items however may not always have the part to fix your item. If you’re not sure of the part you need for say a bicycle fix, then bring your item along at the beginning for a quick assessment. The coaches will let you know what needs to be purchased. It should be noted that you are expected to stay and help / observe / get involved with the fix being done.
