> repairing your own car was a very valuable skill because they broke all the time. Now, they still break, but it's so rare and so complicated that it's not worth developing that skillset for most. Not just that, but often skills aren't even enough, you need special tools to do the job. Those don't transfer well between the models and there's electronics in every freaking thing, you can't repair those, the cost's are climbing for each part.
