Honestly that sounds like a really annoying personal relationship issue that you have.
I have in but past been the “computer guy” in my family and it’s the opposite. Family members wanting computer help drove me to recommend iPads for them.
I’m glad no one in my family is a “car guy.” In general I don’t like doing favours for people and don’t want people trying to do favours for me. My dad has had a car guy friend for a long time and has to deal with so much frustrating extra travel to get his car fixed.
I much prefer the transactional nature of dealing with a business. Sometimes businesses are dishonest and that really sucks. But I’d much rather drop off and pick up than have to deal with other logistics and conflicting schedules.
Yeah it is kind of the opposite. If you are the computer guy in your friend group or family, everyone asks you about it and expects you to help and know everything. No I design machines for factories, I don’t know how to fix your printer.
But with car people it’s the other way around it seems, they always want to fix shit for you, even if it isn’t really the best option.
