You're overblowing things. Gas cars don't even flush their coolant that often; maybe every 5 years. Brakes on EVs aren't used very much; they can probably last the life of the car. Most people never change their brake fluid; again, that's maybe a 5-10 year thing (it might get done when the car changes owners). Tires are the biggest thing. Jiffy Lube has a lot of competition here, from places like Discount Tire and many other such places. I didn't even know Jiffy Lube did tires, and there's no way I'd go there for that (or anything else for that matter). Yes, windshields will still need replacement, and bodywork will still be needed for crashes. Windshield wipers? If you can't put on your own windshield wipers from Autozone, you need to be committed; everyone does that themselves, or gets a spouse/neighbor/friend to do it for them in 20 seconds. (It'd be better if they still sold the rubber refills instead of making us replace the whole assembly for $20.) But most cars probably never see a bodyshop, and windshields are normally replaced by mobile technicians. Body shops will be needed less too due to automated driving, driver safety aids, etc. Modern cars are already ridiculously reliable, but after 10 or so years they start having some problems because of the gas engine mostly, especially if it hasn't been maintained that well. They're even extending oil-change intervals in them to 10-15k miles (many cars now have sensors and displays that tell you when to change it). EVs will need a little less maintenance (because of the oil), but the biggest difference will be the relative lack of need for major repairs when the car is older.
