    Vehicle repairs and MOTs have been dubbed as the most-hated aspect of owning a vehicle, according to research. The findings reveal that almost half (47 per cent) of drivers claim their number one bugbear is putting a car through the MOT test, while one in three (32 per cent) said repairs are their biggest gripe.

    The figures have been published by MyCarNeedsA.com as it bids to tackle the issues most hated by drivers across the country. The research also found that 49 per cent of drivers will only use a garage or workshop if it’s been recommended by a friend. When it comes to choosing a garage for repair, cost (72 per cent), a recommendation (50 per cent) and location (44 per cent) are the three most important factors.

    Well it’s hardly a surprise to learn that having to spend extra money on their car is something that motorists hate doing! Luckily the majority of our customers realise that regular maintenance is necessary and will pay off in the long run.

    If a car is well maintained the MOT should not be stressful. The 50% that use a recommendation have the right idea. The 72% looking for the cheapest deal may get what they pay for.
    Only 44% want local service, depends how you define local I suppose.
    Any internet based service will incur extra fees that ultimately the consumer must pay.

    Is this content sponsored by MyCarNeedsA.com? The research they’ve carried out tells us what we know already that car owners hate breakdowns, hate MOT time because they think their car might fail and repairs….because they call cost money, something which most car owners aren’t flush with.
