What do you think they do instead? Throw the entire car away after a year? Obviously they get serviced by mechanics - don’t be silly.

Send them back to the manufacturer and have them repaired.

Who do you think repairs them at the manufacturer’s servicing workshop? Mechanics. Working in a shop.

Usually there are officially licensed contractors that provide repair services on behalf of the manufacturer. These contractors will have all the right equipment, materials and procedures.

This monopoly is going to have to be broken; we can't have an entire economy of motor vehicles run on Apple Shop repair pricing. This is already being seen around the John Deere DRM issue.
