🚗💡 Are you one of the many UK drivers who’s a bit unsure when it comes to car servicing? You’re not alone! Nearly a third of drivers have skipped their annual service, mainly due to confusion or cost worries, according to new findings from FixMyCar.
Here’s the breakdown:
– 14.3% of drivers find services too pricey
– 10.9% believe their car doesn’t need it
– 9.3% don’t know cars should be serviced every year
– 7.6% think passing an MOT is enough
Remember, skipping a service might seem like a money-saver, but it could lead to bigger expenses and safety risks down the road. Matt Wrankmore from FixMyCar says understanding the difference between MOTs and various servicing options is vital to keep your car in top shape and protect your wallet.
🔍 So, what’s the deal with services?
An Interim service is on the simpler side, while a Major service covers everything thoroughly. Most cars should have at least a Full service yearly. If you’re overdue, a Major service might be a smart move.
🔧 Bottom line: Check when your last service was. If it’s been more than a year, it’s time to book one! A little maintenance now can save a lot of hassle later. Happy driving! 🚙💨
