Look how often things change with your cell phone. Seems like Apple comes up with a new phone every month. Look at how things have changed with your computer. There is always something new you need to learn. The same thing is true with auto repair.

Look back a couple of decades ago, and many guys had no problem handling the majority of auto repair issues that came up with their vehicle. A few standard tools, an auto repair manual, and some good hand cleaner for afterward was about all you needed. Today is much different as vehicles have anywhere between 30 and 100 microprocessor-controlled modules. The systems themselves are far more complex, requiring you to have experience and the proper diagnostic tools to find out what is wrong and resolve the issue.

These changes in auto repair have also made it necessary to choose your auto technician with care. Not every shop has kept up with the technological advances and is equipped to properly diagnose module issues and know how to proceed. What further complicates things is that a module can put off an error code that has multiple causes. It takes more than just knowing how to operate the diagnostic equipment to know when a faulty module is to blame.
