As someone who had only ever done oil/battery change level auto work this was surprisingly exactly my experience replacing a bad knock sensor in my truck. OBD tells you the problem (a sensor is out of voltage range) and youtube tells you how to fix it step by step. At one point my family saw the intake manifold on the floor and thought the car was never going to run again, but its really just plugging or unplugging things from a big computer now. If you can write software you can do (most) auto work.
