There practically no hits on Jalousiereparatur or j..reparaturdienst as one word. But check this below (Google: Jalousie +Reparaturdienst)

Team stellt alles in den Schatten: Montage- und Reparaturdienst von Markisen, Rolläden, Jalousien, Rolltore, Verdunklungen und Sonnenschutz jeglicher Art.

Um die Frage zu klären,


Explanation:
ob es sich um Rollos (Rollläden) oder Jalousien handelt, kann man folgende Seite aufrufen. Ernst übersetzt den Begriff "blind" übrigens mit Jalousie, aber auch mit window shade or blind. Rolladen ist übrigens ein roller shutter.
