In a recent poll conducted by the RAC there were nearly 23% of drivers either putting off car services or attempting to do it themselves.
People have delayed a service for a year of had a minor service rather than a full service.
RAC Breakdown spokesman Rod Dennis said: “Not keeping on top of servicing a vehicle is almost always a false economy, as the probability of suffering a breakdown emergency and having to fork out even more for expensive repairs down the line go up massively."
“So, while drivers might feel the best thing to do is to put off servicing or opt for a cheaper service even if their car is due a full one, we advise strongly against it as repair costs are likely to snowball when things start to go wrong.”
Please be assured that we really understand the cost-of-living pressures drivers are under and we do everything that we can to keep bills low for you.
