I do know how all those things work. The vehicles I leave to others because I’m more likely to do more damage than correct a problem. “A man has got to know his limitations”

Good! I am glad that you are capable. I did not accuse you of anything less.

Do you know people that fit the description that I gave?

Same here.

The only time ANY of my vehicles have been in the shop is either for warranty work or safety recalls. I've rebuilt engines, rear axles, front axles, manual transmissions, and a few automatics (older 3-speeds), but I won't touch the newer ones (too many parts!)

Cars today, though, have become a haven for repairmen. Most of them require a degree in computer engineering to repair, vs. a hammer, screwdriver, and a pair of pliers....
