Car warning signs (we ignore) 🚙

How long has your “check engine” light been on?

If you can’t remember, that may be a problem!

The NY Post reports that 1 in 7 drivers are currently driving around in a vehicle that potentially has a serious issue…and 1 in 3 who’ve had their “check engine” light come on waited over a MONTH to get it checked out!

The average ride has three things that aren’t working properly…here’s the ones we’re avoiding:

  • A rattling sound (just turn up Lite Rock 97.3!)
  • Brakes that squeak or grind
  • The “check engine” light is on
  • A cracked windshield
  • A leak coming from somewhere under the car

Might be time to book an appointment!

Also 28% of us have talked to our car while driving it,  32% have thanked it for getting us somewhere and 19% of us drive around with a lucky charm in our car.

Do you? What’s yours?
