I think a lot of motorists pay little attention to proper maintenance and probably don't understand any of it but certainly if you only spend money on garage works because the car has broken down then you're not doing yourself many favours in the long run.

On this note I have a mate at work who won't even check his oil, coolant etc.. Didn't get it serviced either. Got me to change his bulbs and was going to change the spark plugs for him until the car went bang and he just went and got a new one... Wonder how long that car would have lasted if he'd just do the basics!
Then he tells me I waste money on cars! -.-
