Even simple things like plugs, belts and hoses

The driveway oil change is a thing of the past.

Sadly you can't work on any new car today without expensive computers.

I've heard that established auto companies by law are prevented from going the direct selling route. Which is why Ford recently announced they intend to create a spin off company for their electric vehicles. Lawyers will likely reap plenty in a legal battle between Ford and their dealers.
