I'm not exactly dexterous, and I replaced the screen and battery on my iPhone and it went really well. You need to be a bit slower than you would repairing a car, but I really don't see it as harder.

Yeah, I can see some components as being relatively easy to replace, but I've also seen people trying to swap out components that are soldered on…

Depending on the car, there are quite a few more small fiddly components. Magnitudes more.
