According to a new survey by Liverpool Victoria motorists are finding car repairs too difficult to undertake with modern cars.
Around 33 percent of drivers find the lights and information on their dashboards confusing, while some 75 percent feel that, in the event of a vehicle breakdown, they would be unable to repair the car themselves. Such is the way with modern cars that almost 50 percent of people in the Liverpool Victoria survey have no idea what is under the bonnet, since they rarely if ever open them.
The results of the survey highlight firstly the need for breakdown cover since most car drivers need that roadside assistance and also that car insurance cover may well become more expensive as items are not repaired but replaced.

A word to the wise comes from Direct Line with a reminder that any modifications made to a vehicle change the risk profile and therefore the insurance premium.
Lots of car owners are making changes to their vehicles now, personalising them with new wheels, sound systems and much more. Drivers are advised by Direct Line to get in touch with their car insurance provider to let them know about these modifications and enable them to recalculate the premium. If this is not done then the vehicle insurance could well be invalid should a claim be made.
A Direct Line spokesperson did say that modifications that improve the safety or security of a vehicle would not usually see premiums increased, though most mods are usually about enhancing the looks or performance of a vehicle and so would incur costs.
