The techs should at least be qualified to quickly pick up such procedures.

There is no way to acquire talent or natural curiosity via education. The reality is that there is not much incentive for young techs to learn how to keep old cars running, so only a few who are disposed to working on them will occupy that niche. As the number of cars (and/or owners of old cars who are inclined to pay market rates) dwindles, so goes the market. There are still specialist shops out there, and probably a few younger people coming up in those shops, but it is just not feasible for most facilities (especially the dealerships) to maintain the tools and skills to service an ever-shrinking market segment.
