Rebuilding/reconditioning at most repair shops is a thing of the past while R&R has taken over..........that is due to economics though, it's not feasible for the shop nor for the customer to have, for example, altenators and starters rebuilt "in - house" or to have a full service machine shop to handle all engine machining requirements. If you take into account the mechanics wage, the cost of the specialty equipment needed to do those jobs VS the revenue that would be created from that equipment, the customer wouldn't pay the repair shop $150.00 for the mechanics labor to repair an altenator when a reman unit can be purchased for $100.00 nor would the repair shop ever recuperate their money for the expensive machining equipment(some peices well over $100K) when they only put through 20 engines a year.............
Other components on vehicles are simply not repairable, just throw away items..........
I wouldn't say mechanics cant "fix" anything anymore, otherwise there'd be WHOLE lot more parked vehicles/equipment sitting around this country..........but I think I know what you were trying to say.......

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
