The car brands with the lowest and highest maintenance costs have been announced. While Tesla took the top, the last of the list was no surprise.
Zero and used car prices are increasing day by day. For this reason, a citizen living in Turkey today has to sacrifice quite a serious amount of money to buy a car. When this is the case, it becomes quite difficult to make a choice.
For example, what if the car you buy has chronic problems or high maintenance costs due to a choice in its design? Of course, this would be disastrous for people spending millions of pounds. Fortunately, the internet is just in time to solve this problem.
A recent survey published by Consumer Reports revealed the car brands with the lowest and highest maintenance costs. Here are those brands…
Brands with the Lowest Maintenance and Repair Costs
First of all, it should be noted that the research is based on user surveys. In other words, instead of artificial tests, it comes from the experiences of people who actually use these car brands every day and know the pros and cons best.
