Bingo, most carb equipped vehicles are now new cars after they were recycled.
Now go look up the flat rate time on that quadrajunk. By the time you pay the flat rate you could pay for a reman and installation and have some change left over.
And as was stated. Why spend time and money training for a system you most likely will never work on. One son in law graduated auto tech about 16 years ago. They had two days (about 6 hours total) of carb theory. That's it. Most vehicles went over to fuel injection in the 80's. Sure the throttle body units looked similar to a carb but were a cheap type of fuel injection.
And the same thing is true with trannies and engines. Sure they learn to rebuild them in school but it's cheaper to R&I a reman for the customer and the shop doesn't have to eat the rebuild if it fails under warranty.
Some of these kids today are actually pretty good mechanics but they are not allowed to rebuild a starter or alternator. Heck some of us remember rebuild master and brake cylinders. That's gone too but for liability reasons.
Times change guys, we have to change with it or get left behind.
