I agree ... mostly.
The problem is .. where the breakdown occurs the locals will not know about your vehicle (bicycle, motorcycle, car, 4WD, truck) .. so you will be the 'expert' on it ... and need to find the problem. Most people can figure out mechanical things they can see through observation and thought. Electrical/electronic things require test equipment to 'see' what is going on.. it is another skill set that most have not developed.
The more you know about your vehicle the better ... even if you have a great mechanic who knows your vehicle well, you can communicate better with them.
