Garage Rules- If You Break It, You Fix It

Every garage has rules, but ours come with consequences. The “Garage Rules: If You Break It, You Fix It” MDF plaque doesn’t just hang on your wall—it glares at anyone who dares touch your tools without permission. Bold, durable, and built for the space where wrenches fly and oil stains are badges of honor. Perfect for the home mechanic, hobbyist, or anyone who knows that the real law of the garage is responsibility with a side of attitude. Hang it, respect it, live it.

TEKA ORIGINALS 2025 PRESS RELEASE

________________________________________________________________________________

A sarcastic, functional nod to every DIY enthusiast and garage outlaw.

Let’s be honest. Your garage isn’t just a place—it’s a lifestyle. A shrine to grease, grit, and power tools. And like any sacred temple, it has rules. Rules that have been broken too many times, wrench by wrench, oil spill by oil spill. Enter the “Garage Rules: If You Break It, You Fix It” plaque. It doesn’t scream. It doesn’t beg. It simply states the law of the land: respect the space, respect the tools, and for heaven’s sake, don’t blame your cousin for dropping the socket set.

Cultural relevance:
Garages have always been more than storage rooms—they’re the birthplace of innovation and the home of weekend warriors. Remember that 1950s garage where the first hot rod was cobbled together? Or the modern maker spaces where 3D printers whir alongside retro tool chests? This plaque nods to that rich DIY history while keeping it firmly in the sarcastic, modern era.

Lifestyle fit:
Whether you’re a weekend warrior restoring classic cars, a weekend tinkerer crafting furniture, or the self-proclaimed King of the Wrenches, this plaque fits perfectly. Hang it above your tool chest, lean it against the wall of your workbench, or gift it to your favorite “garage dictator.” The MDF material ensures it can withstand dust, oil, and the occasional flying hammer without flinching. It’s not just decoration—it’s a subtle guilt trip for anyone tempted to break your carefully curated chaos.

Print on Demand Without Selling Your Soul

Bag’s truth / Humor + history:
Garages have rules because chaos is natural. Without signs, you’d find the drill in the freezer and the hammer in the fridge. The “If You Break It, You Fix It” motto isn’t new—it’s as old as your grandfather’s tool shed. But never before has it been captured on a plaque with MDF durability, bold typography, and the kind of sarcastic tone that reads like a wink from the universe. For context, see: DIY Culture
