In terms of electronics it's pot luck if your local mechanic can even deal with it - sometimes they'll just tell you to go to the brand dealership (who charge way more than any other independent mechanic) or you can go to a specialist. When we had a wiring issue we managed to find a guy who will come and do the work in your driveway (where possible) so that was a bonus but it is often pricier than a bog standard mechanical repair.
