Here is a dictionary definition of the word:

Over here servicing is topping up the oil on a Garrard 401
or adjusting the bias current and offset voltage on a Linsley Hood.

**The English do not necessarily understand how to use their own language.


That is the usual rather unhelpful dictionary definition.

**I suggest you read ALL the definitions.


In normal usage, Service refers to routine maintenance performed to a
schedule. Repair is an ad hoc event, setting right a fault. Some
repair may occur during a service, but that will be the exception
rather than the rule.

When I have my car serviced, the brakes and oil are changed and other
consumable parts are inspected. If something goes wrong during normal
use, I send it for repair, not a service. The repair is a specific
task.

You can state all you like Trevor (what I tell you three times is
true, eh?). Of course your use of the word "necessarily" robs the
statement of all meaning. Nobody "necessarily" does anything - even
you. And of course I'm quite sure you stated it using an Australian
Interrogative Cadence, making it a question, the answer to which is
no, I'm not wrong.

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.

Just because they are widely used doesn't make that use right. A bit like
using 'engineer' for anyone who can remove a cover plate.

'Service' is used because it sounds better to the amateur than repair.
Very little in the way of electronic goods require servicing - just repair
when they break. A service is done as a routine measure to help prevent
breakdown.

Don, Dave and David are correct.

Strange isn't it, that it's always so called English speakers that are not
English, that think they know better than the English at English.
