There are two types of people in the world: People who immediately take their car into the shop when the "Check Engine" light comes on, and people who hold out to see if something is actually wrong.

A new study from SWNS has found the most common types of repairs to our cars that people are most likely to ignore; let's see how many of theser are a priority for you!


The most common types of car problems folks are most likely to ignore is as follows:

1 - Checking to see if your battery needs to be replaced soon.
2 - Replacing old windshield wipers.
3 - Replacing old brakes.
4 - Coolant levels.
5 - Replacing old tires that don't have enough tread.
6 - Rotating your tires.
7 - Checking your transmission fluid.
8 - Getting your oil changed.
9 - Replacing old shocks.
10 - Fixing turn signals, brake lights, and headlights that burned out.

The study also found that 61% of people said someone else is more likely to notice a problem with their car before they do. The most common people who might give you a heads up include your partner or spouse, one of your parents, and your mechanic.
