We used to repair our own shit. Now we dont, and because we dont the car companies dont take self repair into account when designing these cars, making it even harder to repair, driving the cost of professional repair even higher and the likelihood of self repair even lower.
I think the order is the other way around. To increase the profits from people bringing their cars back to the dealership to be worked on, they've been making them harder to work on for a while now.
I dont think its intentional in thay regard. I think its organic from the engineers perspective. They dont think of people fixing their own shit because no one does and that means they dont.
Car companies dont make more money from dealerships or mechanics. They dont care about that. They only care about making the best car to last until the warranty expires.
