Is it true that you can't really fix modern (~2008-Present?)

Not every new car is a Tesla, opie. It depends on the trim/options you get.

you can fix cars with computers now

>Are these claims true?
No. Old fucks, especially older mechanics (think ol' Scotty Kilmer) are just bitter fucks that the tools of trade have changed someone as cars have gotten newer. If you have the proper tools, you can DIY pretty much anything you are willing to figure out on a modern car

If anything, the increased use of sensors and computers makes it's easier to pinpoint problems on a newer car. Again, it's all about having the right tools.

Also a little know-how and access to schematics help

>>14712215
Exactly. And you can torrent pretty much any Haynes/Chiltons/factory service manual you want now (or find them posted in owners forums if you do even the smallest amount of lurking)

What about shit like having to have the dealers reprogram parts and shit like that? The ones were you can't even change out a seat switch without having to have it reprogrammed to your VIN so it'll work properly.

There's basically nothing that needs to get programmed other than keys and wireless sensors (like TPMS), and every owners manual will include instructions on how to do that. "Reprogram" is dealer service codeword for "we did something complicated and don't want to bother explaining it to you".

Go look up your factory service manual for your car and wow, there's 100% step by step instructions for everything dealer mechanics do.

Plus, aftermarket scan tools like the Autel Maxidas in my picture can do any reprogramming you would ever need to do, including cloning smart keys, or resetting a PCM/TCM that had to be replaced, or correcting a TPMS system
