As a mechanic, you can pay me now to deal with it, or 10x as much if you ignore it.
As a “mechanic” myself, I can say: many people mean, if we wouldn’t have the TÜV (car inspection) every 2 years in Germany, they would neglect so much! I’m talking, no oil change, no new tires, even with barely any profile left, no new brakes…
Ist das beim TÜV auch gestaffelt, dass Neuwagen noch nicht so oft müssen?
Bei uns in der Schweiz ist es typischerweise so 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 Jahre. Aber wie immer sind wir zu föderalistisch, als dass es einheitlich wäre
It’s just a slight rattling, what could go wrong if I ignore it for a while?
The front fell off
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Good thing I have a bike. My car broke down like 4 years ago, been biking since. People scare me, so I don’t have places to be.
new my bike makes new noises
A whole-ass new bicycle is cheaper than basically any car repair. Bicycles are so cheap in comparison to cars it’s not even funny.
