What they neglected to tell us years ago was that fuel injection is also a lot more complex than carburetors. Buy a shadetree mechanic a six pack of beer and he'll fix your carburetor. Hand your credit card to a school educated mechanic in a greaseless white suit and he'll fix your fuel injection.
This is true. My father used to tell a story of changing IIRC the
water pump on some ancient car while wearing a tuxedo--it was simple
enough he could actually do it without getting the tuxedo dirty.
