It really does require specialized tools and techniques (black magic) that simply is not easy to teach. I was in Toyota dealer recently and was surprized their techs don't even know how to use vacuum-gauges, voltmeters or oscilloscopes! They just scan for OBD codes, and start replacing parts at random that relate to system implicated by scanner!

Most bike shops are in the same disposable mentality most people have nowadays; just toss it and buy new one. This applies to TVs, ovens, washing-machines, laptops, even people nowadays.
