A rather silly, no a *very* silly, remark.

The distinction between "service" and "repair" is clear and meaningful.
Servicing (in this context, the word has a wide range of meanings) is
routine and intended to keep the item concerned working as well as possible.
Depending on what sort of equipment we are talking about it might include
lubrication, adjustment or *routine* replacement of consumable items.

Repair is only undertaken when necessary, and is the restoration to working
order of a faulty item.

The above are how these words are used in English.
