Fix tons of things from macbooks to trucks to cameras. I think they have something like a hundred thousand guides.

Many companies are making their things harder to fix, but from what I've seen, IFixIt has been pretty fast to try and circumvent them.

And they sell replacement parts for a sensible price. I love that site.

The only good replacement battery I ever bought for a phone is from them.

The best thing is also to evaluate how repairable or reliable something is before buying it.
