I think we're in a transitional period.  Manufacturers
are having a hard time finding people qualified to fix
their cars.  I think to help themselves, they will add
diagnostics that spell out what needs to be adjusted or
replaced -- we're almost there -- and also to make it
easy to do so -- we're far from that. Eight hours to
pull apart a dash to replace a vacuum actuated flap is
crazy. Droping an access door to do so is a dream.
People won't pay a mechanic $1000 to replace a $10 part.

My 2 cents.
