'Service' is not the best word, I think you want 'sells'.
The primary thing most shops do is sell things.
Example: a cafe 'sells' coffee, but might provide wifi as a 'service' to attract customers.

sells:computers=yes

sells:computer_parts=yes ?

repairs:computers=yes (repairs may already exist for bicycles)

rents:computers=yes (rents too may already exist, possibly for bicycles)

Note the order ... I think that what is sold should be prefixed with sells rather than suffixed.
