I'd say cars are too complex to do much of that any more. I used to

need a computer to check everything? The garage will have one but
would the right kit be available to an end-user?

It suits many to think they need a computer to work on a car these days.
So are happy to pay a garage to fit new brakes etc that if anything is
easier than years ago.
