The concerning amount of Australians with dodgy cars on the roads

Research conducted by consumer website Finder has found 45 per cent of Australians have problems with their cars which needs fixing and a service, equaling to nine million Australians.

CEO of the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce, Geoff Gwilym, believes it is to do with a mechanic shortage but also inaction from the government.

“There’s no votes in governments making people service their cars annually, so I think there is a huge resistance there,” Mr Gwilym told Neil Mitchell.
