DRIVERS THINK BASIC CAR MAINTENANCE IS ROCKET SCIENCE

A survey conducted by Be Wiser Insurance has found that nearly half of UK motorists can’t or won’t carry out basic maintenance jobs on their car.

Jobs such as changing a wiper blade, topping up water, oil and coolant are all jobs that 46% of the drivers surveyed said they would pay someone else to do either because they didn’t know how or because they didn’t have the time.

Reassuringly, a fifth of those surveyed did say that would like to learn how to perform the basic tasks.
