There are cases - even here in the modern world -

A company I worked for built plastics molding systems that involved
hydraulic presses and power units but it didn't do general hydraulic
repairs. I was in the shop one Saturday when a dump truck roared into
the parking lot. He had a load of hot mix and had blown the hose to the
dump cylinder. We made up a hose for him and sent him on his way, no
charge. He'd had enough trouble for the day.
