Gerald,

Repair implies a failure has occurred.  Most radios these days, and  
certainly Elecraft, are highly reliable rigs short of receiving some sort  
of abuse.  Sure, failures do sometime occur, but fairly rare.  There are  
countless thousands of Elecraft and other radios on the air after years of  
use with no problems.  Many being carried to mountain tops (SOTA) and back  
frequently.  I bought a TenTec Triton IV in 1978 (?) when they first came  
out - the first solid state full CW QSK rig ... and quite a few rigs  
since.  Haven't had one failure on any of them in those 40 years.  I don't  
think you have much to worry about.
