No, because in command economies, there is no competition. So, there are no other repair services that would offer higher-quality repairs or cheaper equipment. Additionally, no incentive exists for the technician to provide high-quality service.

Yes, you can get a higher quality repair guy. Or you could get another cheaper plow that is high quality, so you don't need it fixed again.
