I get the not know anything part... I get frustrated with that, too. It is rampant on this side of Lake MI as well.
But keep this in mind, too. If you ran the business of servicing things (washers, refrigerators, etc) would there be money in repairing the stuff? You have the overhead of the van, tools, etc. If it is more than one guy, you need to have a competent, jack of all trades employee who knows his stuff. He will need to be paid well to stay around. You will need to have a good inventory of parts, etc. But to keep prices low, odds are you will need a sharp pencil as well. It wouldn't be easy.
We are blessed with a local appliance dealer known for service... but the last few years, they've only taken service on stuff they sold. No going to Sears or whereever and expecting them to fix it. I also think they stay in business by buying a lot of close-out inventory- last year's dishwashers, etc. Not that it matters, but it is what they have to do to stay in business.
