This seems like a very good idea electronic haynes perhaps

how much will they cost 
But for the home mechanic, this kind of AR tech really has some potential. When the car starts making “that noise” again, the owner could simply link
his car to the manufacturer’s central diagnostic computer (via a built in wireless connection, which is already coming standard on some models). After
the computer diagnoses the problem, parts could be automatically shipped to the customer and the proper instructions downloaded right to the owner’s
AR goggles.
With the proper parts in hand and step-by-step audio and visual instructions, even the most mechanically challenged among us should theoretically be
able to swap a gasket, replace and tighten a busted belt, or even refill the windshield wiper fluid. Naturally, manufacturers have no economic
incentive to produce something like this, as it would cut into revenue generated when customers bring their cars to the dealership for repairs. But if
we really want to use AR to make our lives better, rather than to help our mechanics think less, we have to start somewhere.

Thats great.... the muppets at main dealers already are unable to diagnose faults. instead they choose to replace components until the problem is
resolved, regardless of cost....
That system will just take that one step further...
They were trying that system out some time ago in Airbus for complex wiring systems etc...
