How Much Do Americans Spend on Car Repairs?
Your car may bring you joy -- or it may just bring you to work and wherever else you need to go. But however you feel about the vehicle, someday, inevitably, it's also going to bring you some grief, in the form of a large bill from the auto mechanic.
Some people, recognizing that fact, treat their car like a four-wheeled family member. They take it in for yearly checkups, and make sure it receives all of its manufacturer-recommended maintenance and oil changes. But just as people who take care of themselves, get annual physicals, and follow their doctors' orders still get sick, well-maintained cars can still develop problems.
And interestingly, there are some significant differences in how hard those problems hit people in the wallet, depending on their age group.
