You can usually find step by step instructions for fixing most cars. My library has a subscription to Chilton online, so I can use it from home and look at repair procedures and wiring diagrams. Just use forums and YouTube to fill in the gaps. I've even diagnosed a car from Amazon reviews since I suspected a certain part was bad and looked at reviews that said the exact symptoms.

Sure, a lot of people can do that. A lot of people absolutely can't, too. A lot of people can look up and solve computer issues too, and a lot of people can't. It's not a generational thing or specific to computers.

Car enthusiasts are much more welcoming and helpful than computer experts. Just look at stack exchange.
