AutoExec Summary
A survey by Youi insurance company found that one in three Australian motorists are delaying car maintenance due to financial pressures. Over half of those surveyed cited cost as the main reason for skipping regular servicing, while another third claimed they did not drive frequently enough to warrant maintenance. Marni Jackson, Head of Product at Youi, stated that a quarter of Australians have had to cut costs on car maintenance in the past year. Interestingly, Gen Z drivers are leading the way in adhering to regular servicing schedules, with nearly half of them sticking to bi-annual maintenance.
