The people who buy smart cars don’t know how to turn a screwdriver. I know a guy who paid a plumber $150 to change out a hose bib. I did one the same week for $2.00
I couldn’t imagine being unable to fix stuff
We have swing out windows at home. One of them stripped a gear. I looked at it, found the brand name, looked them up online and ordered the part.
I had absolutely no clue how to do the repair, so I looked at the part really close and figured it out. It took all of ten minutes. I can’t imagine what it would have cost to have a window guy out.

I have a rental house with a siding glass door that does not slide. I went to YouTube and entered “sliding glass door rollers” and the top video showed how to replace them. (It is not obvious from looking at the door as you can’t see them and the door would not come out of the track.)
I bought an antiknock sensor, which the code machine I bought told me was the problem. Having the sensor in my hand and knowing approximately where it went, I could not find it. I went to YouTube and some awesome (Oh, God I love him!) guy had made a video on how to change it. The first thing he said was it was difficult to find but, (Close up) here it is. I had it changed in fifteen minutes.
You can YouTube almost anything and somebody has shot a how-to, many of which beat the professionals in clarity.
Note to YouTube video makers. Please turn off the music while you are demonstrating the repair.
