WSJ: The End of the Fix-It-Yourself Car 2/9/2010



Even as computers have revolutionized car safety, efficiency, and performance, they've made those same cars increasingly hard to fix, and robbed arm-chair mechanics of the thrills of tinkering in the garage.

The new era of the no fix vehicle started with autos with fuel injectors and the Ford Taurus that covered up the engine with plastic covers.  

The WSJ may have overstated the case. Most of the auto parts companies like Auto Zone have the same diagnostic equipment the auto repair people have and can tell you what the diagnostic codes say.  

You will need to buy an auto manual to repair your vehicle. Most of these auto parts stores have these manuals for less than $10.
