However, not everyone agrees on what preventive maintenance is, what you should do, and when you should do it.

The survey queried 162 auto repair shop owners about trends in their services and general awareness of their clientele. And, I guess unsurprisingly, millennials aren't the most attentive car owners.

If one part starts to fail, it could affect how the whole car runs.

The average car owner spends an average of $1000 a month on their car. More than half of the country wishes they knew more about car repairs, especially in dire situations. With little to no car knowledge, drivers put themselves at risk every time they get behind the wheel.
