(5MinNewsBreak.com) – A new consequence of Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies has come to light: millions of hardworking Americans have been forced to neglect their vehicles and put their lives at risk.
A shocking 29% of car owners are behind on oil changes, while a staggering 44% are overdue for tire rotations.
This alarming trend is a direct result of skyrocketing inflation and repair costs under the current administration’s leadership.
The liberal agenda’s assault on American wallets has left car owners struggling to keep up with basic maintenance.
With the average cost of routine services like oil changes and tire rotations hitting around $130 twice a year, many families are forced to choose between vehicle upkeep and putting food on the table.
Celebrity Motor Cars owner Tom Maoli stated:
“I think all of this is due to a four-year inflation period along with high interest rates which have caused a spike in food prices, insurance costs, housing costs… all of which have hit the consumer in the pocketbook and evaporated any free cash the consumer may have.”
“You can only stretch a rubber band so far until it breaks. I think that’s where the consumer is at this time,” he added.
Industry expert Patrick Olsen warned of the dangers lurking beneath the hood of neglected vehicles.
“When families go on a road trip or you’re going to visit your kid in college, or even if you’re just going to and from work, when you delay these types of maintenance, you’re putting your car at risk. So, oil changes, you know, your engine can seize up or burn oil more quickly,” he explained.
The Biden administration’s war on fossil fuels has driven up gas prices and sent vehicle maintenance costs through the roof.
Repair expenses continue to outpace overall inflation, reaching a staggering 10% increase in 2022 and making hardworking Americans feel the pinch.
This financial squeeze is forcing many to delay essential services, risking their safety and their vehicles’ life cycle.
The average age of cars on American roads has now reached 12.5 years, a clear sign of the financial strain preventing families from upgrading to newer, safer vehicles.
This aging fleet is a ticking time bomb of maintenance issues, with each delayed service potentially leading to devastating failures and costly repairs down the road.
The Biden administration’s misguided policies have created a perfect storm of economic pressures, forcing hardworking citizens to make dangerous compromises with their vehicle maintenance.
