The new cars have so much electronic stuff on board --multiple computers-- that a very different set of skills (and way of thinking) is needed to diagnose and work on them. It seems to be approaching the skills needed to work on the avionics of military aircraft. And then you get to replace "black boxes" instead of just tires and oil. But still need to know how to tell which box to replace and how to use proprietary software to marry it back to the car. Crazy.
My indy has one guy who does basic parts R&R, the other two have varying levels of electronics skill. And DIY--beyond brakes, fluids, exhausts, etc., is gradually going away for many of us otherwise competent backyard wrenchers. This is in conceivable way a good thing.
