Expensive repairs for low end cars no comments
While cars require less maintenance in the first few years after they are manufactured, after some time a lot of money has to be spent by the car owner for maintenance of the car . Some of the problems faced include
– clutch not working
– brake problems
– oil leakage
– battery problem
– wipers not working
– damage to the door and body due to careless drivers and others
– headlights malfunctioning
For inexpensive low end car models like the tata nano, in some places in India, it is extremely difficult to get it repaired as there are few trained mechanics, spare parts are not available easily, and repair charges are very high compared to the cost of the car. For example after 4-5 years, some car owners are spending Rs 15000 or more annually on repairs. So it is advisable to exchange the car for a newer model which will require less maintenance.
