Have you ever considered putting up youtube videos for stuff like maintenance and minor repairs? Do you have any sort of resource or manuals for repairs?
It's not rocket science. I just see repair people ordering parts and making mistakes. Some of these guys think they know everything. I try teaching what I can but somethings can't be done on-line or on the phone. Would you go to a doctor for a procedure that he learned on line or on the phone? People DO visit us on occasion and learn things. This is something we cannot control.

Basses come in here set-up and adjusted by who knows and in an hour, we un-do and re-do it right. Some amount of feel and talent is required. It's not all Plumbing.
