(VitalNews.org) – Americans are dealing with a crushing truth: around 30 million vehicles are suffering from alarming deterioration on Joe Biden’s watch.
Specifically, car owners are falling behind on crucial car maintenance, putting their safety and wallets at risk.
A shocking 29% of car owners are skipping oil changes, while 44% ignore tire rotations. This reckless behavior, driven by Biden’s economy, is a ticking time bomb for vehicle owners and a threat to everyone on the road.
The liberal agenda’s assault on the American dream has reached a new low, forcing hardworking citizens to choose between basic vehicle maintenance and putting food on the table.
As repair costs skyrocket due to inflation and supply chain chaos, millions of car owners are delaying routine upkeep.
Car maintenance expert Patrick Olsen warns of the dire consequences:
“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.”
The Biden administration’s economic policies have created a perfect storm for vehicle owners.
With the average age of cars on the road now at 12.5 years, Americans are struggling to keep their aging vehicles running.
Celebrity Motor Cars owner Tom Maoli explained:
“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,” Maoli continued.
As if the situation was not dire enough, a shortage of skilled technicians has driven labor rates through the roof.
