Making additional copies of a copyrightable work is not the intent of repair, even if copies of some of the parts art made during the repair process. Intent matters in law, and a repair should only leave the same single copy.
Trying to prevent someone from repairing a product (as or private act or as a for-profit service) is not a right granted by copyright. Preventing repair is a misuse of copyright, which allows copyright infringers to avoid liability[2].
