CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Potholes are leading to a big jump in car and truck repairs across the Chicagoland area.
Pothole-related problems can range from flat tires and bent axles, to damaged struts and broken headlights.
Mitch DeFrawy of Chicago Auto Repair in West Town said some of his customers have had really bad luck with potholes.
"I've seen a guy come twice in two days, because he kept on hitting the same pothole, and had to change the tire," he said.
DeFrawy said potholes can pop up anywhere at any time.
And he said many of his customers would not have to see him about pothole damage, if they just paid better attention when they were driving, kept an eye out for potholes, and avoided them.
