The don't call them mechanics anymore, they are technitions, and they are very versed in the use of computers. The modern car is controled by onboard computers {some times 10-15 of them}. An auto technition has to be able to use handheld computers to interface with the auto onboard computers.
A lot of the newer cars don't even have throttle cables, they are fly by wire.
No, I'm not an auto repair technition, just saying......
