DIY Car Repairs

A report out today suggests that a large number of drivers are repairing their own cars, instead of choosing 'expensive' car servicing. The report is almost identical to one released in America on March 4th, which could either mean the UK and the states are following suit or some PR person has spotted an opportunity. We love that the customer in the BBC film seems to have his own garage with a ramp.

Many drivers have chosen to replace simple things such as oil, water or even a wind screen wiper. This is probably as far as most people get these days. Flip open your bonnet and all you see is a one huge mold of an engine, leaving most people clueless as to how to start fixing a problem. The car manufacturers will also advise you not to tamper with things you don't fully understand, as you could end up doing more damage than good.
