I mean that people growing up today don't have the exposure to a culture of fixing your own car, since it is so complicated to do so. So our kids are less likely to see us fixing cars, and hence less likely to fix their cars in the future. But that is caused by at least in part what you are saying - it is harder to fix cars now w/ all the electronics and special tools/equipment to buy.
