“Noone does thst anymore, unless its and car”
You’ve claimed the most ignorant arsehole award.
Lots of folks do it everyday.
Its called a hobby.
Or practiced by enthusiasts.
Or Gearheads, Motorheads etc.

I would like to support Brilliant in his/her statement. Other than a handful of parts, it is almost impossible for a shadetree mechanic to work on modern cars. Even things like brakes are so electronics-laden that the average person cannot do it.
I would venture to guess that the intersection of the number of people who OWN cars able to be worked on and the number of cars like that still onh the road is a sliver of what it used to be say in the 70s or 80s.
Not “no one” but a small and diminishing number.
BTW: I used to be one of those shade tree mechanics. Never in a million years would I try to replace even the fuel injector or redo the brakes on my 1990 vehicle, much less my 2015 one.
IMHO.
Let me see, using a computer diagnostic machine, (hand held or a stand version), would be a tool not normally used, except you need it for diagnostic purposes. A professional or hobbyist would own or borrow it to diagnose the problem.
What else is a problem with this law? What if I want to yank the engine out of my 55 Chevy Bel Air and rebuild it, at all times keeping the car in the enclosed garage, would that be a violation? It appears so from the article.
When I lived in California I built a four car garage with 12 foot high walls so that I could install a professional hydraulic lift. I bought and sold cars that needed engine/transmission swaps. I also restored MGB’s. Of course I had a 1/4 acre lot, but this law/bill does not limit its reach to property size or rural vs. urban. This law would make it impossible to enjoy a hobby or to have extra income.
