I don't know about the epa stuff, but I do know that most automotive repairs seem to be replacing assemblies, not repairing things. A lot of this is due to modular design - fewer parts, more complex subunits - notice I said subunits, not subassembles. More stuff comes as modules now - the powertrain is a module. The interiors of cars are being inserted as modules. Less assembly time ( Less labor ) More profit, less warranty. The big 3(?) have cut thier warranty by 50% in the last 5 years. My 2c.
